Men can’t go wrong with a blazer and dress pants for a more dressed up look. For a more casual look, consider khaki's with a button up shirt. Cozy sweaters layered over button ups are a great way to stay warm and stylish during the cooler months.

FORGET THE winter JACKET

NO BRIGHT OR NEON COLORS

cHOOSE SOLID & NEUTRAL COLORS

ACCENT WITH ACCESSORIES

THINK ABOUT THE SEASON

get a manicure

don't forget girls SHOES 

Soft, solid pastel colors photograph amazing. The soft bright color can reflect on your skin which makes all skin tones look amazing. 

choose soft colors

Floor length dresses are always flattering. I do not recommend dresses that go to your ankle or knees because your bump ends up making the dress short in the front and long in the back. 

long dresses are always flattering

Choose a color palette of 2-3 soft colors. When picking outfits I recommend keeping in mind the word “complement” rather than “match.” 

COLOR PALLETE

Rompers work well for babies so that we are never worried about diapers showing. Don't forget kids shoes or bloomers.

NO DIAPERS SHOWING

Once you have a dress that you love and is flattering, plan everyone else based on your choice!

START WITH MOMMA

Is it busy, like an open field with a lot of texture? If so, solids are going to be your best choice.

THINK ABOUT THE BACKGROUND

03.

I think it’s so important that you look and feel your best for your photos. I also think it's important to look back and love the person you see in the portraits. I'd never want you to look back and see a woman full of makeup if you never wear makeup. Whatever you decide, be true to yourself.

HAIR AND MAKEUP

Statement jewelry is a great way to add color or pattern to a simple dress. Lace and tulle look amazing in photographs.

ACCESSORIZE 

For shoes, wear what is comfortable since the shoes aren't likely to show unless your dress has a split.
