What To Wear To A Photo Shoot - Part 2 - Kids

Welcome to the second part of our "What to Wear" series of posts.

We thought we would concentrate on those little treasures this time around, as we often get asked by moms and dads what to bring to a photo shoot for their children.

First and foremost children of all ages need to feel secure and relaxed.

Ian gets the best photographs with children when they are playing - the last thing you want is a posed photograph with a false smile - those days are long gone!  So, bring along any props or favourite toys - a favourite umbrella, bright wellies, hats etc.- anything really which will help your child relax and we can have some fun with.  If your child wears a particular outfit every day, perhaps a favourite super hero, bring it along.   If it’s special to them then lets capture it.

Bold colours are great for young children, especially primary colours like red, blue, and green.

Another option for young children is all white. This gives a clean and natural look to the images.   

And finally, those babes in arms.  New-borns have gorgeous skin and nothing shows that off better than nakedness (or just a nappy).
