How to Choose Outfits for Your Photo Session

One question I am asked over and over again is – what should we wear for our session? First and foremost, wear something you feel confident in. If you don’t feel comfortable in your outfit, it will show in the photos. When making clothing choices for family members, it is best to selection a few colors to work with, for example – navy blue, yellow and white. Then use those three color choices to select your outfits. I typically do not recommend matching outfits, such as everyone wears a black top and jeans. I recommend making clothing choices that compliment each other vs. match each other.

I am more than happy to help with making clothing selections for you and your family members. I am available for video chats and in some cases in-person consultations. I typically recommend in person consultations for seniors and engagement sessions.

Here are a few examples of clothing choices that compliment each other.

 

A Afternoon Adventure – The Schmid Farmhouse

This is what is left of the Schmid farmhouse. The farmhouse was built by German immigrant Joseph Schmid and his family in 1876. When I learned about this farmhouse, I knew I had to explore it and tell a story through my lens. The farmstead is located near Lake Minnetonka, hidden in the woods. Enjoy! 

Baby James 1 Year Session!

James, baby James as I like to call him is turning one on June 6th! Baby James is an unbelievably sweet, happy, loving little boy. His smile is contagious and lights up the room. I was honored that his family asked me to capture his 1-year photos. We talked the details, and I planned the session. James came down with a cold a few days before his session and even though he didn’t feel his best, he was a rockstar! You would never know by looking at his photos that he was sick- he was happy, happy, happy! I had a wonderful time capturing this milestone in his life.

Look at that smile!

Lifestyle Session – Making & Baking Cookies

A lifestyle photo session is about capturing real moments in everyday life. A lifestyle session can be making and baking a cake or cookies, reading books, a water balloon fight, arts and crafts, a lifestyle session can be whatever you want it to be.

I was able to capture a mother and daughter doing something that they love- making and baking cookies together.

Sunrise On The Beach

Every time I stand before a beautiful beach, its waves seem to whisper to me: If you choose the simple things and find joy in nature’s simple treasures, life and living need not be so hard.

A Sunday Drive

Old buildings calling my name…..

I walked around and just stared at these tattered, torn, beautiful buildings….. I was in heaven.

I can’t help but think about everything this land and the buildings have seen over the years.
