Since you always ask...






Can you feel it?
Fall is right around the corner and I know many of you are starting to think about doing family pictures in the glorious northern Michigan colors!
I often get asked the question...
"So, what should we wear?".
Here are my suggestions...
and with illustrations no less!!!

  • Denim bottoms work great on just about everyone and give you lots of options...same with khaki's.

  • Then, pick a color family and stick with it! Check out the color family groupings above for great inspiration. The most important thing is that if you are wearing muted, earthy colors..you should ALL be wearing muted, earthy colors. Unless you want one particular member of your group to get all the attention. Then feel free to wear that neon pink shirt while everyone else wears black. You go ahead and be all that you can be:)
  • Girls...special advice to you. In almost every case, 3/4 or long sleeves are the best choice. Trust me on this. And please be aware of exposed bra straps or undergarments that don't fit well/leave a line/are exposed when you know your parents hate that...you know who you are.

  • Fun accessories add pizazz...you heard me...pizazz, to a portrait. See the samples above? See the accessories? Note the pizazz!

  • A note to seniors...bring a few outfits and even props if you've got them...instruments, sports equipment, hobbies...whatever, you know what you're into. A variety of outfit styles and colors is the very best and will give you the best options. Feel free to bring clothes that are casual as well as formal and we can have some fun!

  • Last but not least (for now...I can already think of more that I want to go on about!)...please, for the love of all that is good in this world, iron your clothes!

That is all.
