Solids are best.  The portraits are almost always about the subject, not what they are wearing.   Definitely no clothes with words or logos on them!

For little children, loose, comfortable and timeless is best.  Something that you won't look back on in years to come and say, oh that was definitely from the turn of the century! White slips for girls are beautiful, or light pink flowing material.  For boys, either khakis with a white shirt, or bib overalls with no shirt is darling.  If you have a special outfit for the child, I would love to work with you to find the perfect backdrop to go with it.  When you book your appointment, just schedule a time to bring the outfit by the studio so I can see it to plan accordingly.

For senior sessions, I prefer you bring in a large variety of choices before your session so we can plan together what outfits you will wear with which backdrops.  Also, it is important that you wear outfits that you like, but also  bring a few outfits that your parents love.  The pictures are for them too!!  I strongly encourage you to bring something dressy to go with the casual.  Look at some of the senior pictures in prom dresses...they are stunning!

For families...unity is key.  Definitely solids, and any color will work.  I personally prefer blacks or browns and blue and white, but if you have something else in mind, I'd be happy to accommodate you.  Just let me know what you're thinking when you set up your session so I can plan accordingly.
