Style Guide {Summer 2010}

I have a few sessions scheduled for the beach and some more natural looking places around town in the coming months and so I thought a new style guide might be helpful to both my current clients planning and for the general Fourth Light Follower who might have a beach or outdoors session in mind down the road. I love the more romantic styles amidst the fashion minded right now. It seems the current trend is toward all things vintage and being a fan of the 20s, 30's and 40's I was in heaven creating this style guide... it made me want to go SHOPPING!


Remember when styling your shoot to think about coordinating colors and not necessarily about matching perfectly. You can see in this style guide that the overall theme is blues, creams/khaki and gray but their is very little matching as far as patterns go. I think mixing and matching solids with different textures and patterns is what really makes a simple color palette go a long way.

These styles can be found at Ruche, Old Navy, The Gap and on Etsy .

Spring is in the Air!

If you've got a session this coming spring I have put together my spring style guide to help your session styling along! Remember; have fun, make sure everyone feels confident in what they wear and pick a few colors to really emphasise. These style guides are just suggestions so take a peak and for more styling tips and ideas see my Session Information section!

Style Guides

I would not, certainly not consider myself a fashion guru but over the years I have experimented. From the pink stir-up sweat pants that helped me through middle school to the daring black fur bubble coat I once sported to impress a crush in high school to the now more refined tastes of my motherhood wardrobe my style has been anything but consistent. However, I do feel like I have an eye for a certain style in my photography and finally in my wardrobe :0) One of the most frequent questions I get when booking a session is "what should we wear?". So to help all of you out a little and to give you a sense of what might work for your family session I put together a couple of style guides. These are meant to give you some ideas on how to make your family look polished without giving up each member's unique style. Enjoy! Both style guides include clothing and accessories from www.oldnavy.com, www.gap.com and www.bodenusa.com .
