Spring Guide: What to Wear?

So if your wondering how to get that special look for your portrait session here are a few tips that I hope will help!

Keep it simple.
Go with a print that's not too busy yet colorful and bold. Think large florals, polka dotsand stripes, Anything goes as long as you are wearing the clothes, not the clothes are wearing you!

The Color of Spring
The spring color wheel is my favorite color wheel of the year. Soft light hues, with bold pops of color here and there. Guys, think light teal, soft gray, pink or muted boxy patterns. Jeans, khakis..Spring is where the colors are taken down a notch, but manufacturers still find ways about getting amazing texture such as chiffon, silks and plain old cotton that airy springy feel.

Mix and Match...But not too Matchy!
As a family, start with your base color and work your way out. You can try to have each member wear that base color somewhere on them, and it doesn't have to be on everyones shirt. You know.. everyone *can* look different. That is the whole point of making your session unique, finding patterns and colors that match your personality while combining the entire family into the scheme.

Accessorize is the name of the game.
Hats, scarves, chunky and heavy jewelry pieces(I happen to like the jewelry selection from JCrew.) Funky shoes, rain boots..yes rain boots! Tutus, legwarmers, extra embellishments, floral headbands. Adding those final touches bring so much more eye candy to the final image. So have fun with it!

So without further ado.. here is a good starting point for my visual people out there.
