BEGIN WITH MOM

Mom, since you are probably choosing outfits for all of your family, start with yourself. Choose a dress you love and that you feel comfortable wearing. It can be patterned or a solid-coloured, and in any length or style you want, however, modest outfits always look classic.


Next, add accessories that compliment your style. Whether you wear hats, earrings, necklaces or  bracelets, be sure to choose something simple and elegant.


And remember, makeup usually ends up looking washed-out in photos, so be sure wear slightly more than normal!

NEXT, DAD

Choose a solid-coloured pair of pants--jeans, khakis, dress pants or even shorts. Then add a shirt or sweater that complements mom's dress. If Mom's dress is a solid-colour, you can choose either a patterned shirt, or solid-coloured shirt; but if Mom's dress is patterned, then it's best to choose a solid-colour to offset the pattern in her dress.

FOR THE KIDS

Dress the kids in simple pieces, neutral colours or complementary tones to mom or dad’s outfit.


Accessories like cute hats, a favourite doll or  teddy bear, can personalize your session.

LAST OF ALL, DOGS

If you are planning on bringing your dog to your session, here are a few things you should keep in mind:


First, exercise your dog beforehand. This will ensure that your dog is calm while we are taking photos.


Second, bring lots of dog


treats and their favourite toy; distractions are important!


Lastly, this would be a great opportunity to get your dog groomed so they also look their best for the shoot!
