In late 2018 I decided to invest in clothing for family portraits. I knew that clothing was probably one of the biggest stressors going into a session for the entire family, but especially the mom. The goal is to make family portraits a totally different experience for the families that invest with me.
To start building this wardrobe, I hired Ashley Kahn Wardrobe Stylist to get the perfect pieces. She understood my vision and helped me get the most beautiful things!
What’s in the Wardrobe
I invested in clothing for toddlers to teenagers, for all genders. Sizing for adults range from small to plus size {up to size 24}. It was important that the looks that coordinate between siblings and parents and I might have found a few important pieces for moms to makes them feel special. Because, let’s be honest, it’s the mothers who put the most work into these sessions. So I bought a few pieces from BHLDN!
For colors, the goal is to have the outfits work in my studio or in a park. Both places are where most sessions happen. The clothing has to go with the greens and browns of the park, and also have some pizzaz for the studio. Cream, soft pinks and blues, tulle skirts and suspenders. They look amazing in both spaces!
The only items I don’t carry are pants for the men, but I do send you a list of pants that will match perfectly.
The Looks in Action
All full portrait sessions receive access to the studio wardrobe. Going into 2019 I will be investing in maternity dresses to cater to the growing families I serve. Sadly, mini sessions do not warrant enough time for access to the wardrobe.
Thank you to The Petaler and Edges Wild Studio for the flowers and Kris Sowell and Lauren Perez for the puppies!
