{lets.talk.fashion}

Yep. I'm still here. Amidst the MOUNTAINS of pictures to be edited, sessions to dash off to, picture packages to put together, Christmas cards to create . . . Somewhere, I think I'm still here. I've got TONS of pictures to share with you, but today I want to talk about fashion. Now, I'm no fashionista for SURE (hence the tye-dyed jumpsuit I wore in middle school), but I know that colorful, well thought out clothes make for great photo shoots, unless you were up at 5 am and missed your nap. :-) Now, you certainly do NOT need to spend ANY extra money on clothes for a photo shoot (though you totally can!), but it helps to really think about putting clothes together that "go" but don't necessarily match. I always recommend picking out two bolder colors (in the FAB pictures above, the mom chose a deep pink and a navy blue) and then building all of the outfits around those colors, adding in as many neutrals as you need (as you can see, they used blue jeans, a gray t-shirt, etc.). For extra fun pops of color, pick a funky color of shoe, a great scarf or a chunky necklace and really go crazy. So add some color to your next photo shoot. Add a lot. And, I promise, your pictures will pop SO much more. Even if your kid cries the whole time. :-)
