What to Wear : Mommy and Me

Mother’s Day is just around the corner.  What wouldn’t be more adorable than mommy and daughter pictures. A special girl’s day out with a special photo session. Here are some ideas for what to wear for your mommy and me session.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remember some simple rules for picking out your clothing for your session:

  • Keep it simple! No big logos or competing patterns.
  • Don’t worry about being matchy matchy, coordinate colors.
  • Wear your favorite jewelry and accessories.
  • Layers play well for the camera
  • Color, color, color – try to stay away from white and black.
  • Be true to yourself.

My best advice for clients if you want to do a pattern, pick one outfit that has a pattern in it, then pull a color out of that outfit for the other outfit and your accessories! See how in two of the outfits above they did just that. And don’t be afraid to wear a cute, fun, funky colorful pair of shoes with any outfit!

Hope this helps you with your spring and Mother’s Day Sessions! And remember Cara Jouglard Photography has a great Mother’s Day Special going on right now.
