Top Things I recommend :
- Dress for the season.
- Dress for the location.
- Consider fabric with texture or movement.

- Compliment - don’t match (unintentionally).
- Avoid large prints, logos, and patterns.
- Brown leather shoes are always a hit.
- Throw some accessories like a hat or denim jacket into your bag!!
- Be YOU, be confident, be authentic, be comfortable!
Color Scheming
Colors that always win neutrals, earthy tones, and metallic. Neutrals don't mean absent of color - think of it as a deep color and softer tones verse bright and vibrant. Instead of Christmas stocking red or Grinch green, go for something closer to olive or burgundy. A rule of thumb here is to choose to either complement your natural environment or contrast it. A rust or mustard dress among the tree farm would look so good if your looking for more timeless photos for your wall rather holiday. If your think holiday white, cream, & burgundy will contrast and give that holiday pop. It totally depends on what you’re looking for and I'm here to help! For families it’s best to keep your color scheme limited to three to four colors. You can choose one person to wear a feature color and have everyone else’s outfits complement that.
Complimentary , Good!
Matchy, Bad!
Complement each other, don’t match each other.
You don’t want to create the illusion of being your partner’s siamese twin. When multiple people wear the same color, sometimes their matching outfits blend together so much that you can’t really see any of them properly.
In order for the aesthetics of your photograph to really sing, you want to find complementary outfits that showcase a variety of colors, textures, accessories, patterns, and tones. Complement the other people in the photograph as well as your surroundings. The idea is to have everything look good together without everything looking the same.
The Colors
These four colors are great to pair great in this years mini session locations plus any cream, whites and browns.
Texture & Movement
Pick fabrics that move and flow with you. Ones that add a cozy texture, or get picked up by the wind, filter the late afternoon sun, and glow in the morning light. Avoid stiff-seeming garments with collars as they look a bit too formal and often get tucked in weird spots and need adjusting.
What do you want to bring?
If you plan to bring any small props or pets, be sure to give me the heads up.
Dogs are allowed as long as they are leashed.
If you are attending the tree house mini session the owner request if your pup has a tendency of marking their territory you hold them while inside the greenhouse.
Hair & Makeup
So this is totally your call! Whatever you need to do to feel your best!
Hands tell such a story a, sometimes photographs magnify bright nail polish, chipped manicures, and dirty fingernails. Treat yourself to a little subtle manicure or make sure your nails are neat and tidy before the shoot.
As for hair… Oh boy. I’m a sucker for the way a wild mane blows in the breeze. Up-dos are alright, and I totally get it--it’s so easy to throw your hair up! With your hair down, you get movement, you get interest, you get some perfect slices of imperfection in the best possible way.
A lot of people ask me whether or not they should get your hair and makeup done by a pro. My answer is always “whatever will make you feel best, do that.” I absolutely don’t think it’s necessary If you’re getting hair and makeup done, I recommend you schedule it to be done at least an hour before you have to leave for the shoot so you aren’t late.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS!
If you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to let me know! If you’re still not sure about what to wear feel free to shoot me a pic or two of what you’re thinking, or we can create a little mood board together!
