    what to wear wednesday | salt lake city family photographer | spring session ideas

    Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

    I really did think that after my last springtime photo what to wear post that the snow was almost done. And then I remembered that I live in Utah…and snow on the ground in April does happen. Like the big snow that we had last weekend. But hopefully another springtime photo session what to wear post will bring out the sunshine. This clothing grouping is great, because all four look great together, but if you just pull mom and dad aside, they will look good…or just the kids together, or just daddy and his little girl, or momma and her son. Remember those smaller groupings when planning out your outfits for your session. And also remember that if you’re stumped on what to wear, give me a call or send me an email and we can discuss your particular session!

    what to wear for families for fall | salt lake city utah family photographer

    Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

    Today is a great fall day here in Utah…a little rain, some overcast skies a little chill in the air, I love it. Fall is my favorite season for so many reasons…football, school starting, leaves changing colors, Halloween and Thanksgiving, warm sweaters and socks. I don’t think I’m quite used to fall here in Utah even after 9 years of it…it’s still strange to me that the kids are going to school in shorts and tshirts all the way through September and into October even. I forget each year that if you’re not careful, you might miss the fall colors…seems like they were around longer in Washington. I do remember the years here where we’d get snow on Halloween and not see the grass again til spring…and as much as I LOVE snow, I think I’ll pass on that :)

    Have you scheduled your fall session yet? There are lots of great locations where we can go and get that perfect shot of your family or kids that you’ve been hoping for. Holiday cards on your list? We can get that checked off too. Once you’ve got that session scheduled, are you trying to come up with ideas on how to style your session from a clothing standpoint? Just not sure what you all should wear? Wondering if you should all match or just coordinate? Wondering if you should get dressed up or stay casual? The biggest thing I tell my clients to remember is to wear something that is comfortable – especially for kids. Nothing gets a cute happy kid grouchier faster than an outfit that they’re pulling at or that mom or dad has to keep adjusting. Wear something that reflects you as a family and as a person…these images should be treasured for years if not generations to come, you want them to be a true representation of who you were at this point in your life.

    Feel free to browse through my What to Wear Wednesday category for more ideas.
