I’ve been hearing the birds singing in the morning, there are buds on the trees, I’m able to go outside without bundling up and there’s no more need for heated seats in my car. All signs that Spring is just around the corner! That means we can get outside again for custom portrait sessions and get rid of those winter coats and cold weather clothing!!! So, what do you wear to your custom portrait session this Spring and Summer? Well, the same advice applies – make sure your clothing choices show off your personality and use layers, textures and color to add some depth and interest. Also, coordinate with other family members instead of being matchy and looking like you’re wearing uniforms. I give more complete information and tips in my “What to Wear” guide to all my clients upon booking a session with me, but below are a few ideas to get you started AND you’ll find these outfits in stores now! {if you want to know where certain items came from, just contact me} Have fun picking out your outfits for your upcoming customized portrait sessions!

I’m always on the search for cute bloomers for my lil’ girl and today I found the cutest ones ever – Ruffle Butts! They have so many cute options for girls sized newborn to 4T – diaper covers, bloomers, pants, jeans, swimsuits, beanies, tees, swing tops, dresses, etc… These are seriously the cutest things ever and I can’t wait to pick up a bunch of bloomers and swimsuits for my daughter.

When my daughter was a baby, I hated the bloomers that came with her dresses and I really detested her diaper showing – especially since I was taking her picture all the time! I really wish I had found these back when Lily was born, but at least she’s not too old for me to grab some of these ruffle pretties. You see, now that she’s three, most dresses don’t come with bloomers, but she’s not at an age where she knows not to pull her dress up and to sit like a lady, so I always worry about her undies showing. I’ve made a few bloomers, but they’re not nearly as cute as these! Also, those ruffle bikinis are too adorable! I can’t resist.

If you have a lil’ girl, you should really check out Ruffle Butts and think about purchasing a few bloomers. Not only are they practical, but think of how cute your pictures will look with these cute ruffled bottoms – WAY better than showing off a diaper and timeless to boot! As a baby photographer, I really like taking portraits of lil’ babes in the buff or in sweet diaper covers since most clothes swallow them when they’re first born. I think I found exactly what I was looking for to cover those diapers at my custom photo sessions. Now I just need to find some solutions for the boys…
