Are you contemplating a Spring Portrait Session? We've gone ahead and suggested some tips to ensure your day is stress free and flawless. Listen up!
1. Wear layers. Spring can be finicky in the sense that you can go from frigid to over-heated in a matter of minutes. We suggest wearing layers -- tank top, tee shirt, cardigan, scarf, etc. Each family member then can peel off, or add, a layer as they see fit and remain comfortable throughout the session.
2. Location is a big deal. You better believe we're going to take advantage of the fresh, warm air and all those buds popping up from the ground and in the trees. If you have any favorite locations, let us know. We have many location suggestions too!
3. Play into the colors of the season when choosing your family's outfits. Fresh pops of green, blue, pink, and yellow are always a hit in the springtime. We recommend choosing a color theme for the whole gang, then slightly deviating from that with accessories to keep things interesting.
4. Speaking of accessories: plan to wear them! Choose jewelry, scarves, or prints that play into the spring theme. Butterflies, flowers, insects, etc., can make for some super adorable family pictures.
5. Time it right. Book a session too early and you may miss out on those spring buds. Book too late and you've already wandered into summer territory. Keep an eye on the weather and give us a call when the time is right.
6. Incorporate props. Spring offers some beautiful backdrops where props blend in perfectly. For example, old wooden chairs look stunning in a sea of blooming rose bushes, and a quilted blanket is lovely on the fresh, green grass. Imagination is all you need to come up with something unique for your family!
7. Really think about your footwear. Spring can often mean a soggy ground, so flip-flops or heels are not the best choice. Instead, wear something that's comfortable and spring appropriate, such as loafers, flats, or boots.
We hope these tips get you thinking about crafting the perfect Spring Family Portrait Session. But if you need help or more inspiration, just give us a call. We’re here to help!
