Tips for family ,baby and children sessions
  • Keep clothing simple. Try to choose solid colors for your portraits. Avoid large, bold patterns such as plaids and stripes.
  • In case of full-length pose, try to make sure you wear clothing from head to toe.
  • Darker clothing slims. Choose shades of black, brown, blue, dark green and other jewel-toned colors
  • Scoops or v-necks flatter shorter necks and full faces. Turtlenecks or high-necked garments flatter longer necks and slender faces.
  • Don't mix casual and formal clothing in portraits.
  • Wear light on white. Light pastel or white clothing looks best against a light-colored or white portrait background.
  • Wear dark on dark. Dark clothing looks best against darker backgrounds and creates a more formal mood in portraits.
  • Don't mix light and dark colors in portraits. Show your style in small accents. Save stronger colors and patterns for accessories like scarves and neckties.

Tips for  Maternity Sessions

Capture your mama-to-be moments. Here are a few tips to consider before coming in for your sitting:

  • Schedule your portrait session when you are in your seventh or eighth month of pregnancy. Your belly will have a lovely, full shape that can be easily captured.
  • Bring in your ultrasound from the doctor. We can take a very special portrait of mama and baby.
  • Gather the family. Your maternity session could include the dad and any older children to reflect your growing family.
  • If you want to show your bare tummy, wear loose-fitting clothing to avoid elastic/clothing marks on the skin.
  • Put lotion on an hour before your session to avoid the shiny belly-look and staining your clothes. Don’t forget your knees and elbows, too.
  • Get a manicure or a light polish for a more finished look in a close up of your hands around your belly.
  • Remove tight-fitting clothing and accessories (watches and bracelets) at least two hours before your session.
  • You may want to include a few baby things like a cute pair of shoes or a cherished family heirloom in your portrait.
Clothing Ideas

Here are a few dress suggestions to make this moment in your life memorable:

  • Solid colored shirts focus the attention on your tummy’s shape and glowing expression.
  • Large patterns can distract. Avoid big floral prints, swirls, plaids and stripes.
  • Form-fitting clothes with a little stretch will compliment your figure rather than loose clothing.
  • Long sleeves tend to be the most flattering, but sleeveless and spaghetti straps work well. Avoid t-shirt length sleeves.
  • If you want to show your bare belly, consider wearing a top and skirt or pants that won’t leave binding marks across your tummy.
  • Choose silk or cotton fabrics as they drape beautifully around a pregnant body.
  • Empire-waist blouses and dresses, button-up shirts, tank tops, long drawstring skirts and tie dresses can really enhance your blossoming shape.
  • Dark jeans and black tapering yoga pants make your legs look long and slim.
  • Pick your footwear depending on your clothing. If are showing your toes in a sandal-style, you might want to consider getting a pedicure.
  • Remember to match your undergarments with the style of clothing you choose to wear. You might not want lines showing through your clothing.
  • Accessories can enhance and personalize your style. A bright scarf, sweater, or even chunky jewelry can add
