Hi friends! 👋



The grass is finally getting green, and the sun is sticking around a little longer—spring is officially here! 🌷 I am so excited to get back outside for our upcoming sessions. ☀️


I know the biggest question I get after booking is: "What on earth should we wear?" 🤔👗


My goal is always to capture those authentic, frame-worthy moments, and a great outfit can really help you feel confident and fun in front of the lens. To help you prep, I’ve put together four "Amazon-inspired" style boards. These are designed to coordinate perfectly without being "matchy-matchy." 👗👔✨


 

🌸 Ready to find your picture-perfect outfits?


Let’s go! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

 

Spring and summer family portrait style guide with coordinated outfit palettes for all ages.

 

Whether you're feeling the whimsical vibes of "Wildflower Meadow" 🌼 or want that grounded "Iowa Twist" (my personal favorite for our local fields! 🌾), these palettes are curated to look amazing in our Midwest light. The best part? These are all "Amazon-inspired," so you can find similar pieces without the stress of hopping from store to store. 📦🙌

 

Simply Styled Tips: ✨


• Textures over Patterns: If one person is wearing a bold floral, keep everyone else in solid colors with different textures, like a cozy knit cardigan or classic denim. 🧶👖


• Comfort is King: Especially for the little ones! 👑 If they feel itchy or stiff, it shows in the photos. Let them wiggle! 🏃‍♂️💨


• Don't forget the Feet: Neutral boots, tan leather loafers, or clean sneakers are your best bet. 👟 Aim for earthy tones that won't distract from your outfits. If the grass is soft and the vibe is right, feel free to ditch the shoes altogether for a few shots!
