Clothing should be solid in color (not patterned) and free from
logos or writing. Light colored clothing (white, light khaki, yellow
and cream) should be avoided. We suggest mid-toned or darker pastel
colors. Everyone should be barefoot in our studio.
Nothing photographs as beautifully as baby skin. Babies should be
photographed wearing a diaper or diaper cover. Be aware of clothing
that will constrict the skin and leave marks (socks, waistbands,
etc).
Hair should look as natural as possible. Large hair accessories and
an excessive amount of hair product should be avoided.
Parents should plan to participate in a few of the photos. This
allows children to relax and act more like themselves and will
create a keepsake that you and your children will cherish for years
to come. Parents should follow the above clothing guidelines.
Special attention should be paid to your child's skin in the week
leading up to your session. Lotion on the face and lip balm on the
lips makes a significant difference in close up face shots. Parents
should clean their child's face, eyes, nose, and lips prior to the
session.
