Motherhood wardrobe features close to 200 dresses in sizes small through 2XL.
For Dad, a small wardrobe features shirts and sweaters for your use in sizes small-large.
For brothers, shirts and sweaters are also available.
Sister wardrobe features adorable dresses and simple tops.
Infant wardrobe for girls and boys is available from newborn - to 24 months.
Please bring a nude bra and a strapless bra if interested in-studio wardrobe for motherhood wardrobe. A camisole is also helpful if you'd like more coverage. If you're a maternity client, feel free to bring a pretty bra or panty set for mothers interested in intimate, boudoir-style maternity photos. You may also do an oversized sweater, boy shorts, etc. There's no obligation; many moms like to do something a little more modern/contemporary.
Please stick to neutrals, earth tones, and muted colors for siblings and Dad. Dad and Brother should wear jeans or khaki pants, and we can add a studio shirt if you wish. If you're bringing clothing from home, Avoid neon colors. Orange, yellow, bright greens or pinks are not favorable. The colors that photograph well are light grey, tans, creams, white, and ivory. Seafoam, navy, mauve, and colors of this sort are lovely, too! Earthtones are beautiful because they photograph well on skin tone; they refer to natural colors such as brown soil, green leaf, cloudy sky, and red sun. We love to see earth tones: rust, marigold, deep navy, burnt sienna brown, terracotta, sage, turmeric, hunter green, and more.
Ideas for Dad: simple button-up, henley shirt, sweater, v-neck, anything without a distracting pattern or neon colors. Slacks, dark wash jeans, and simple ones are best.
Children look lovely in knits, simple cotton dresses, sweaters, jeans, or khaki pants with a solid or neutral-colored top.
Expect to see various tones, textures, and fabrics, all of which are curated to photograph beautifully. We offer diverse options such as, but not limited to, neutrals, grey, ivory, creams, whites, and muted colors and nudes, although there are colorful options. Jewel tones and classic black make an appearance, too. Complimentary gown fittings are welcome. These are available in sizes small through extra-large. An ample sister wardrobe is a new addition, also! Available in sizes three months - 8-T. At this time, our closet includes over 200 dresses. We also offer complimentary gown fittings, so you may visit in advance to look throughout the client's wardrobe. We also have a handful of Dad tops in case of emergencies, though, upon booking, a prep guide is provided. Hence, you have a great idea of what Dad should wear for his portion of the photo shoot.
