Tips for your pictures

Here are a few tips that I like to share with you before I do your photo shoot. This way we can hopefully give you the results you're are looking for.

1. Color and Patterns - Color is really important to having a great picture. If you want your picture to pop try to use bright colors like bright reds, blues, greens and yellows. If your looking for a more rustic look go with a brown, mustard yellow or rustic orange. For family pictures usually try to coordinate at least 3 different colors for your family to wear. Just try to keep it all in the same color pallet. Also have at least one person in the family wear a pattern or some type of texture. If your unsure of what to colors to go with you can always go with a 1-2 colors for family pictures then spice it up with bright scarves, shoes, hats, jewelry any type accessories. Sundresses for little girls are always cute. Tutu's and ruffles with leggings are great. Little boys always look great in jeans and a solid colored shirt. Try to stay away from patterns such as plaids or busy shirts with logos or words on them.  Anything FUN and SPUNKY will always make your pictures more fun and interesting with a lot more personality. 

2. Accesories - Anytype of jewelry(necklaces, earrings, and bracelets) scarves, and hats are great! You would be surprised at what a big difference such small things can make in your photos. For little girls big flowers, bows and headbands. 

3. Props - These are always fun because it adds a little more personality to your pictures. If we are taking a picture of your baby bring their favorite blanket or a basket you like. Cute newborn hats always look great. Anything that you want to be in your photos feel free to bring. It is always really cute when you bring your child's favorite toys and put them in a picture. This way it helps you remember what it was they loved at that age. I am trying to collect my own props like chairs, baskets even wood flooring I have. So if you don't have it hopefully I will.
