What to wear for your portraits!
When preparing for a photography session in Santa Barbara, or anywhere for that matter what you wear has a huge impact on your final photographs. It is really important for everyone to coordinate but not necessarily match perfectly. I love textures and think that they photograph so beautifully, so always keep this in mind.
The best way to coordinate all outfits, is usually to start with Mom, for example a purple top with a pair of jeans or white pants. Dad could also wear denim and incorporate a purple tie. Kids are the most fun to dress. Put your daughter in a purple dress and son in a purple dress shirt, or again just a purple tie. So you can coordinate with a single color, or if you are feeling brave you can coordinate with different colors in the same tonal range. Such as everyone in white with different pastel accents. Or denim with darker jewel tones. Go crazy and have fun!
My favorite place to shop for children’s clothing in Santa Barbara is Mon Petit Bijou. There website looks a little limited, but when you go into the store it is amazing. They have clothing for infants to toddlers that are just perfect for your photography session! If you are a newborn client they also have beautiful strollers and to die for cribs! My favorite crib is the Natart Leander, it has four stages; crib (with 2 mattress heights), daybed, transition bed and junior bed.
Sorry, I tend to get a little carried away with baby things!!! =) Good luck shopping and I can’t wait for our session!
