Styling Your Photo Shoot

I thought I'd post a little style advice for you all, since I know this is a common question when deciding what to wear for a photo shoot. I love fashion, and would love to offer any tips or advice when it comes to what to wear. First of all don't be afraid of color, not only color but mixing color. Starting with an inspiration piece is a good place to start and building off that color pallet. Choosing to mix colors that are opposite of each other is good way to make the colors stand out, here are of few of my favorite color combos.

MINT, BLACK & GRAY
 
NAVY, MUSTARD, & GRAY
NAVY. TURQUOISE, & ORANGE
TURQUOISE, RED, AND MUSTARD
NAVY, CHARTREUSE, & GRAY
Mixing patterns, and bringing in pops of color with accessories are all ways to tie the colors together. Another good rule is to keep the guys neutral, (since we all know how much they love this kind of stuff). Here's a great example of how to make it work


The little girl is the base of this pallet, the navy is picked up in moms dress and dads shirt. the turquoise is picked up in moms necklace, and the coral in the polka dots in moms shirt and wedges. As you can see they've mixed the polka dots and stripes, and kept dad neutral. Another element that's great to add is texture, which the lace in the dress adds. Texture is especially fun in the cooler months when you can layer sweaters, scarves, and other fun accessories. My biggest piece of advice is don't get too "matchy", the jeans and same colored shirt days are moving on out, don't worry if the colors don't match perfectly, you want to show each persons personality and a variation of pattern, color and texture are all important to making it look great!

The Yearsley Family

What a beautiful AND talented family! Loved working with all of them! I think I managed to get one photo of Jhi smiling, although she may not be looking at the camera, (it still counts right? Poor thing was teething). Hope you enjoy these gorgeous fall shots!
