Spring Mini Session | Client Guide
A few practical tips for styling your spring blossom mini session
Okay, so you’ve done the hard part! You’ve checked out all the local photographers, selected the one you like best for their style, quality and for your budget, and booked your mini session. Now what? It’s time to start putting together your family’s outfits!
Choosing what to wear, for some, comes naturally. But for most others, it can actually be quite stressful to figure out what goes, is on trend, or what looks best on your body type and more. Clothes shopping can also be quite a production as well, especially for a family with boys or little ones that are less than thrilled with the task. While none of us need to be Lady GaGa or social media fashionista influencers for our photos, we do want to put a little bit more energy and effort into dressing ourselves and our family to look our best for those family pictures we’ve paid so much for. Believe it or not, poor outfit choices can make or break your final product. This is where having a professional help make this process a little easier can be hugely beneficial. I’ve curated some looks for family pictures that are neutral, spring-inspired tones great for outdoor photos amongst the beautiful blooms.
Okay…so time for some outfit “show & tell” inspiration board style!
Okay, so I’ve done the hard work for you and curated several shoppable style boards for the whole family. Whether you are a family of three, four or five, these looks will get you heading in the right direction. And the best part is, you can shop them all directly from my Amazon Wish List, client closet, or shop & save program. I’ve created the outfit Inso boards with the beautiful blossom tree locations in mind, Remember, these can either be recreated exactly, or just used as a guide to find outfits that you truly love and fit your family. My Amazon shopping list is a fantastic resource as well as my favorite online shops and client closet.
When looking for outfits, try to find a print, color scheme or outfit you love and are inspired by, either for you, your child or your spouse. Use that outfit as your starting point to curate the rest of the looks. It helps if your outfit has a remade color palette or print to help you pull color for the other outfits from. Use a mix of solids, prints, and textures to create a cohesive, well-coordinated look. Remember to use layers when possible and find shoes that match the look and are clean, work with the location you are taking pictures in, and be sure to share your photos of your outfits with your photographer! This greatly helps us photographers to find the perfect locations for your outfits and the vibe you have in mind. This “Earthy Tones” style board would be very versatile in any natural outdoor space and good for spring through fall colors as well! Plus, these are outfits your whole family can rewear during the year!
