This is a sweet family that had a family session with me before this little boy got his first real haircut. It will be bittersweet to see him with his big boy hair do. I bet he will look so grown up! He is already doing many big-boy things so I guess it is time he looks the part of the toddler he is. 🙁 He is lucky to have a great big sister to lead the way for him. She directed and helped him out a lot (it will always be that way!).
How did they know to wear my favorite colors, blue & green? 🙂 As summer gets closer there will be even more green grass and leaves as my backdrops. I love all the natural colors that allow children’s faces and expressions to be the focus of any image. It is always fun to have that pop of color too! Crewcuts has some fun Spring children’s clothes that you can check out. They always have a great selection for both casual and dressier outfits.
This is just to give you an idea of what some clothing choices might be. I can always help with this if you are stuck. I love to pull collections together from your existing clothes and often make decisions based on home decor and locations of photo sessions.
More later on what undertones of color look best on a person. This is an individual thing and has nothing to do with the color but the shade. My Mother has taught this for uh, many years and it is very dramatic to see it in person. I am always a perfect model for her. I look best in bright, clear colors (like the green above). If she drapes me in that color and immediately puts a pastel (Easter egg colors or white undertones) on me, you can see how washed out I become. There is no amount of makeup I can add to fix it and if I go around town like that people will ask me if I feel sick. 🙂 My husband is the opposite. He looks the best in pastel colors. It all has to do with the pigments in our skin and not our hair and skin coloring. I am terrible about updating my site but hopefully I will be able to write more about this soon and show some examples.
