Mother’s Day Sessions PART 1
May 14
What fun we had at The Essex Resort and Spa on Sunday! And the best part is, I get to do it again this Saturday!
Here’s a few of my favorites so far…
Jeff surprised his wife with the session a few days before! At the last moment before I left for the Essex, I happened to grab a blue and white blanket that match their outfits perfectly. How’s that for luck?
All these guys did is laugh the WHOLE time! Such a joy to photograph.
I was lucky enough to photograph Jen’s wedding two summers ago. I cannot believe what a lovely young lady her daughter has become. The two of them make a stunning pair!
If you are feeling like you missed out, you’re in luck! I have a few spots left for Saturday (May 18th,2013). Get in touch to book your spot!
The most common question, and a great one! So here’s a few tips to get you started;
• Dress For the Location, Season & Type of Session
After you pick you location, is it formal or casual? Select seasonal clothing that complements you as well as the place you are in. In other words, you won’t wear furry boots and coat to the beach for a casual summer family session. Bare feet, rolled up pants with coordinating tops or a fun skirt is more likely. And if you pick a beautiful green field , stay away from wearing too much green. You’ll blend right into the background.
• Solids Over Prints
If I had to pick, 9 times out of 10 I’ll choose the solid color. Busy prints and stripes tend to be distracting and less body flattering than a solid color.
• Don’t Be Matchy – Matchy
It’s ok to wear colors from the same family. But don’t put every on in a matching red polo shirt. Mix it up! Wear your favorite colorful scarf and use the colors in the scarf to tie your group’s outfits together. Pick three colors that go well together ,everyone likes and wear different combinations of them. The days of everyone in the white button-down and khaki pants are gone. Be more creative. I know you can do it! And if your just not sure, I’ll be happy to help!
•Be Comfortable, Be Yourself
Probably the most important! Wear something comfortable that reflects your personal style. If you feel beautiful, you’ll look beautiful. If you’re child doesn’t like the shirt he’s wearing, he’ll probably be fussing in every photo and eventually in tantrum position. Let’s try to avoid that, shall we? If you’re uncomfortable in your skinny jeans which no one in real life looks good in you won’t feel hot and you’ll probably be making that weird “I’m uncomfortable” face. Why on earth would you do that to yourself?
• Have Fun!
If you look like you’re having fun, you probably are! And you’ll be glad that I’m there taking pictures to remember the moment.
Still stuck? Go though your favorite stores ads and use what they are wearing for inspiration!

Have fun & see you soon!
