Can you believe it is 2012 and we are already half way through the first month! This means winter in the Gulf Coast! What does that mean in fashion for your session? Moms, jeans and boots! Little girls? Funky tights. Dads, we keep ‘em classic with a nice fitted button up shirt. Little men, I love a nice tie!
Here are a few examples of What to Wear, offered by Corina Nielsen Photography. I love these combos because her winter in California is similar to ours here in the Pensacola/Gulf Coast area. While it has been known to dip into freezing temps, we usually manage to pull up into the 50′s mid day so the layering is very important.
Enjoy these guides and as always I love to help in the styling department of your shoot. I will help pick out outfits, hair, shoes and location to make the most of YOUR time and get the very best from YOUR session as possible!
First up! RED! Valentines inspired! This is a great look for winter here in our area where the green on the trees is still very dominate. Dark green from the evergreen trees will make these colors pop in your photos. Mom sports a sleeveless dress, but notice the denim jacket ladies! This is KEY! When viewing a photo, the eye goes to exposed skin, it is how we are trained. We want to keep the FACE the largest area of exposed skin (in most cases…. there are exceptions to every single rule).
I really love this next look for TWO reasons. The boots! (of course) and the little girls shirt. I am pretty sure I need that shirt for my daughter. I am a sucker for stripes. You can see here that nothing is matchy matchy, the colors blend well and coordinate but it is not 4 of the same shirt or even same color. And what I want to stress with you the most is do you see ONE white shirt and Khaki pants in this entire guide? NO! That combo is very cute but lets get creative and come up with something that will flatter YOUR style.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! PURPLE. I have a very strong LOVE/HATE relationship with purple. It was my least favorite color when I was younger. Now however I am drawn to it, like a moth to a flame. It is so rich, it explodes warmth in a photo…. Look at the moms outfit, again layers, spaghetti sleeve top with a cardigan over it! YES! Dad’s shirt is a gray pinstripe and check out the boys outfit, they grabbed the gray and gave him a little tie! How adorable!
