I have two What To Wear guides today. One for siblings, and one that is Fall Inspired for the family. I love What to Wear guides, as they are an extremely helpful tool for my clients. It helps ease some of the stress that comes with getting ready for family pictures. Sometimes parents just want the kiddos done, and that’s what the WTW guide for siblings comes into play. Sometimes, the whole family is being photographed, and that’s where the WTW family guides come in. You don’t want to be too matchy-matchy. You want to be able to grab two to three colors, and coordinate around those. It helps add texture, and depth to the images. It helps the people being photographed to flow within the images.
So, just to see what you readers think….what is the hardest part of getting ready for your photography session?
Is it picking clothing or location?
Fall Inspired…

I had a session this morning with the S family, and it was a blast. The boys were a hoot, and totally had me laughing during the session. Thanks for a great morning “S” family! Enjoy your sneak peek.
Off to relax on this beautiful Saturday! Have a great one!

My goodness. Time flies by and before you know it, a whole month has come and gone. My wonderful husband and I went on a cruise the beginning of this month. We went with another couple and had a blast. Lots of fun, but came back exhausted. Funny how that happens. Now it’s time to buckle down and start the fun times of the holidays. That means sessions, editing, Christmas cards, cute kiddos, and awesome products.
One of my favorite products to do is Christmas cards. I think it’s because you get to put this cute card together for clients and then they get excited to send them out. Also one thing I love is I actually get some of the cards I design sent to me by clients. That’s when you know you’re special. 
Another fun thing that I like about sessions, and especially the holiday ones…is helping clients with clothing suggestions. Now sometimes clients just want an idea of what to wear, and other times, they take your suggestion and buy everything.
Here are two What To Wear guides that I came up with recently.
One is called “Rock Star Siblings.” I loved this one, because it reminds me of something my oldest daughter would pick out. Her and my husband constantly “Rock Out” to music.
I would love to have my little kiddos dressed in something like this for a session. However, I don’t have a cute little boy to use. Ahhh….maybe one day.
My next one is the most recent one. I came up with it for a client, and it had great reviews. It passed the test. 
It is called Christmas Casual. I love it. Again, this is totally something I could see my husband wearing if we had two little guys. That won’t happen though, because we’re only going to have one more kid. In order to have the husband wear this with two little boys, we would have to have two more. Making sure everyone understood that. Plus, I don’t think Christmas Casual and Rock Star Siblings mesh very well. Who knows though…if you throw some pink in, instead of red, they could mesh okay.
As you can tell, the main color is this one is red. Red, Christmas, little kids, yep it works great. I’m going to be trying to do a weekly What to Wear guide. That way I can fulfill my need for shopping (well, kind of), and it can also help out my clients when they are needing some inspiration for sessions.
Also, since it’s time to play catch up. I have two sneak peeks from two sessions I did on Saturday. The one in the morning was a family session. This family was great and the kids were super sweet. The “O” family is big into football. They were ready to show their Cowboy love! Here is a sneak peek with the kiddos. You can tell that these siblings are close, which I think is awesome.
There was even an outfit change into a Cowboys cheerleader uniform.
My next session on Saturday was a pre-Homecoming session. A friend and fellow photog, Dayna Runge asked me if I wanted to come shoot. So of course, it involved, dresses, shoes, suits, cute teens, of course I said yes. So we did two locations, and one of them is a place I have been wanting to shoot at for awhile, the wonderful La Centera shopping center. It was a perfect place for this session.
Meet Mr. A, and Miss. M….they did a great job for us, and I definitely think that me and my friend had much more fun than these teens. They wanted to get to their dance, but let us have our fun first.
We finally wrapped it up, and let them be on their way. Thanks again Mr. A and Miss. M, and thank you Dayna for letting me come along.
My last update is of some more Christmas cards…we all know how important those are this time of year..so here is another sample that I have worked up….FRONT
Then the back…
I will also have samples on hand for clients to view at their ordering session. That way they can see the different finishes, and also see what they look like in person. I will also be coming back to show samples of the new, and unique cards I will be offering this season. Definitely something new, and fun. I’ve already decided I will be using them for my cards this year.
Until next time,
