Of course, I do my best to select the perfect locations for your session, however as pretty as the scenery is, YOU are the star of this show – I want you to stand out! One way to do this is to avoid pieces that are too plain or solid in color. Wearing prints, patterns and textures is a great way to add a little pop and interest to your images. I shoot images with a beautiful blurry background, with you as the subject, and this will help make you POP! Nothing looks better against a smooth, blurred background than a pretty floral dress or a fun textured sweater. A graphic tee is also a fun way to add a little detail if you aren’t into patterns. Adding textured materials to your wardrobe also helps if you do truly love solid color pieces. 

There is a lot to be said for classic black, and I’m not going to tell you to avoid it when choosing your outfits. However, I will tell you to keep the plain black to a minimum, especially if it has no texture to it. We live in a beautiful place, and there are so many location options…. from the woods, to a pond or river, city lights, or a flower field…. and everyone of those places is a perfect location to bring in some color! Color not only looks great in your images, it makes YOU look great in your images too! Very few of us can truly pull off full white or black without it washing us out. Pure black often times looks a little more grey in my style of images, since they are lighter, so they are safer to skip – unless its just a little here and there. Grey is trendy but can sometimes get lost amount the greens in a field or the concrete grey of a city sidewalk. I love shooting lighter colors, as well as greens, peaches, blush, yellow, and any colors that really POP! Color just takes everything up a notch, so be sure to add a little into your outfits, either with your clothes or your accessories. Sometimes, color combinations that may seem off or “too much” in-person end up photographing PERFECTLY on camera!
