Let Me Help Style Your Session Wardrobe!

Ok moms.  You booked a session.  Now the fun begins..it’s time to style your families outfits!

Meanwhile… “Yay, this is going to be fun!  I’m so excited for my session! (Enters mall) Wait, is this fun?  Going from store to store and trying to perfectly coordinate my entire families wardrobe?  Ugh, and accessories too?!  Let me email my photographer. Let me ask her what she thinks about this dress.  Will it look ok for our session location?  Will it look good on me?  What about my husband?  Ahhhh!  Who said this was fun?”

Yep.  I’ve been there.  I’ve gone through it myself.  IT IS TOUGH.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  Wardrobes can make or break a session.  I want to create timeless images for you to look back on and not have the first thought be “What was I thinking when I chose that outfit?!”  Let me take alllllll the stress away from you!

I recently joined a styling website that has worked wonders for my clients. It’s called HoneyTree Style and Select. Basically it styles your session for you!  You fill out a simple questionnaire and input the number of family members, their gender and their ages.  Then you choose a style you’re going for and a few color palettes (I will tell you what looks best based on our session location) and BOOM!  Clothing options appear!  Not only clothing, but accessories and shoes too.  Lots of people forget that wearing accessories can add so much to your wardrobe.  And yes, unless we’re shooting at the beach and will be barefoot – you do need to pay attention to your shoes.  I once had a client show up in neon green Crocs!  So tragic…

Then you click on the clothing options you love and it brings you directly to the website where you can choose your size and it gets sent right to your home.  Done.  Finito.  STRESS FREE

Wanna see it in action?  Duh, of course you do!

See how happy he is that his mom used the styling website to make his family look super coordinated and perfect?!

Mamas gold bracelet adds even more to this image!

The colors, patterns, and textures all come together to make a beautifully coordinated wardrobe.  And this mama didn’t have to step foot into a mall!

Even their shoes match perfectly!  Can you imagine what this image would look like if they were wearing neon green crocs or Spiderman shoes?!

Now we can truly focus on the LOVE in this moment, and not the outfits that just don’t look good!  See that little boys face?  This is how I feel when my clients come dressed to impress because I know that their images will be that much better!

And you don’t just have to take my word for it – this gorgeous mama told me about her experience with the website.

Using the website to pick out outfits for our family session was incredibly painless and so helpful in picking out stylish clothing that worked together. I feel so stretched for extra time right now with my two young children.  Of course, I want to be in pictures with my children, but the hassle of setting up the photo shoot, ordering clothing, and picking a location can be a lot of work.  This website makes it so easy.  The clothing choices come in a wide range of prices and styles so there is something for everyone’s taste and budget.  For example: my husband is extremely basic and I knew going into this I would have a hard time getting him in anything other than a T-shirt.  But to my surprise and excitement – there were a few classy t-shirts options for guys!   In addition, I really like how the site gives you the ability to view the choices next to each other, so you can envision what your family will look like standing together.  If you were shopping on a different site, you would not have the ability to do that.   I always struggle with color choices and styling, so this site really took the stress out of the equation.  I ended up ordering some of our clothing from sites I have used before (Target, Amazon, Nordstrom) and some pieces from new sites I had never heard of.  It was fun to get out of my comfort zone of clothing websites and view something different!  Overall, I really liked the experience and think the site is a HUGE benefit and resource to photography clients. 

So there you have it!  Book a session with me and you will gain access to this site.  Let’s create timeless art for your family to look back on for years and years to come!
