If you’re planning on taking family photos in the Washington, D.C. area in 2024, and you need a photographer who will help you find the perfect outfits, then look no further: I’m here for you!
But guess what? Even if you’re not local to me, I’ve got something for you that might help you move from outfit overwhelm to coordinated and confident in photos.
Enter: my FREE Where to Shop for Your Photo Session guide! This guide shares a list of my favorite places to “shop” for client outfit recommendations for newborn and family photography sessions.
When my clients hire me, they receive an extensive Session Prep Guide to help them feel confident in front of the camera, and I always share outfit styling tips as part of this guide.
I can’t even begin to tell you how many times over the years I’ve heard my clients say, “We don’t know what to wear for family photos!”
My reply has been the same throughout my 11+ years of experience photographing newborns and families: “Let me help style your family!”
And I find myself going to find clothing at the same stores time and time again. Now, I’m so excited to share where I send my clients to shop with you, too!
Over the years, I’ve developed quite the knack (and the passion!) for helping my clients choose clothing options that photograph well and build a cohesive look with the rest of the family’s outfits. My process is relatively straightforward: I start by dressing Mom, based on what she’s comfortable wearing and feels beautiful in, and then I offer a few selections that coordinate (not match) for the rest of the family members.
Another tip? I try to stick to 3-4 colors max, and I love throwing in subtle patterns as well.
