These hand selected dresses, skirts and tops are for my clients to wear to make your session easy and stylish! Most of these dresses can be worn by a variety of sizes, and can be both a maternity dress, a dress for a new mother, as well as a dress for a woman with no baby-belly. They look great on everyone! Advanced notice is required to have one of these dresses provided for your session. A selection of mens tops are also available, as well as baby and child outfits in a wide range of sizes, and you are welcome to schedule a time to stop by the studio for a try on session.

One of the best (but often times most stressful) parts of a session is deciding “what do we wear?!” Whether to go casual, edgy, bohemian, preppy or glam – the outfits you choose make a big impact on the final results in your imagery and vibe.
No matter if you chose an outdoor session, an indoor home session or a studio session I’m here to help! I know how hard it is to put together outfits that fit your style, work for the camera and also coordinate well.
I subscribe to an amazing professional styling service as a perk for all of my clients (free to you!). I highly recommend doing this for help in choosing outfits. It can be a super helpful starting point to see what you may have already in your own closet, or a one stop shop where you can see everything together in a cohesive group and purchase everything online from your favorite stores.
Simply fill out the questionnaire in the link below and it will generate some great clothing choices.

This will help create a cohesive look and style for your session. I recommend beginning with the neutral color palette and branching out from there, but the style is up to you and what YOU like.
All items will be linked to their respective online store site and the items will be shipped directly to you! You can also use this resource as a way to create a style for your session, and pull from your own closet if you have similar items already! Sometimes basics are on hand and you just need a new top, dress or coat to pull it all together.
If you like the idea of this, but you don’t have the time to shop online, just let me know and I can shop for you and send you the styled outfit look and purchase links – It can’t get easier than that!
