What do I wear??

General Rule to follow: Keep it Simple! Solid muted colors are ideal and timeless. Scroll down for additional information.

Bebe’s:

  • Infant’s always looks sweetest in their bare skin.

A diaper cover is all that is needed for infants under the age of 2 months. Parents should wear all black or all white to blend in to background allowing your baby to be the main attraction.

Children:

  • Simple solid clothing. Traditional clothes stand the test of time rather than trendy outfits. Forget shoes and socks and show those cute toes for a more informal look!
  • If your interested in a more formal look. It’s best to dress from head to toe. Make sure shoes, tights are in keeping with the visual interest of the portrait.
  • Any of your own props will personalize your portrait. Grandma’s locket, daddy’s old teddy bear, a soft blanket, a family heirloom. I also have many items at my disposal.
