O U T FI T S
One of the most common questions I receive is: “Is there a certain color I should wear?”
For photo sessions, muted colors are your best bet! In other words, colors that have a grey or
beige undertone.
I suggest muted colors for all of my sessions, because they don’t distract from my beautiful
clients! Now, before you start thinking “I don’t like anything oatmeal color!” please do not
worry! The last thing I want is for you to look washed out for your
session!
There several examples of muted colors in different shades below, and I encourage my clients
to pick the one(s) that best accentuate & enhance their features! For example, if you have fair
skin, fair hair, and blue eyes, beige might not be the best choice, but light or dark blue might
work well. While ultimately the color you choose wear is up to you, I’ve found that blues, grays,
cream, lavender, and blush pink photograph best!
Also, textures & patterns can work great to create some visual interest in your images. Some
common textures that work great when mixed and matched are cotton, lace, chiffon, cham-
bray, woven sweaters, cableknit sweaters, etc. Patterns that work well are small stripes, soft
floral prints, plaid, and gingham.
I do suggest that my clients avoid very bright, loud colors, because they can be distracting in
your final images! In otherwords, avoid anything neon!! ;)
YOUR DRESS
From experience I have found dresses made from soft, flowy materials
photograph best for expecting mothers! Ankle length/maxi dresses (or skirts)
are the most flattering for your bump!
