Preparing for a Family Photo Session has its own worries and stresses and trying to decide what to wear is one of them. 

But guess what? It doesn’t have to be that way!

When it comes to dressing for your session, comfort is key! 

You and your little ones should feel relaxed and at ease, which allows your true personalities to shine through. After all, these photos are all about capturing the authentic moments of your joy, laughter, and love within your family.

Whether it's an outdoor adventure or a cozy indoor session, dressing comfortably is essential.

Let's start with outdoor sessions: Mother Nature has her own plans, so it's important to consider the weather conditions ( especially here in Minnesota ) .

Opt for breathable fabrics during the warmer months ( cotton, light colors, light weight clothing ) and cozy layers ( sweaters, long sleeve shirts ) during the colder ones. Don't forget to bring along jackets or scarves if needed ( which in most cases, during the months of December - March/April, here in Minneapolis, you will need it! ).

For moms, choosing clothes that let you move, run, and even jump (if you're up for it!) is a fantastic idea. Go for outfits that allow you to be active and freely engage with your little ones.

You deserve to feel comfortable and confident during the session, so focus on pieces that reflect your personal style and make you feel amazing.

And speaking of personal style, there's no need to stress about what to wear. If you're unsure or would like some suggestions, we'll have a chat before your photo session. I'm here to help you find the perfect outfits that align with your vision and reflect your family’s unique personality.

Remember, your photo session is all about capturing the real you!

Embrace the beauty of imperfections ( in my eyes, you have none, you’re beautiful ), messy hair, and silly moments. Let your little ones giggle, have fun, and simply be themselves. These are the memories that truly last a lifetime.

So, get ready to embrace comfort, showcase your personal style, and create unforgettable memories with your family.That’s what it’s all about. 

You, your beautiful family and the fun memories you’ll create together! 

I can't wait to capture the genuine joy and love that radiates from each and every one of you.
