Mummy and me what to wear guide

What to wear guide for your Mummy and Me session

Now you’ve booked your session time, it’s time to start thinking about what you will wear.

We recommend to wear clothes that really capture your family as they are, so we’ve put together our guide to help you select the best clothes to wear.


These are some ideas for organizing your outfits:

  • We recommend that mum chooses her outfit first & then let everyone else in the family can coordinate around you. It’s really important that you love your outfit! Pick something that you feel beautiful in & that’s comfortable. Pick something that you wear day to day that you love.

  • Try to avoid logos on clothes. Small logos on pockets are fine. We mean the big logos that run right across the front of a shirt.

  • When selecting clothes for the family, think as if you were creating one outfit. If all your choices were somehow on one person, would the result be pleasing? Please make sure there are no logos on tops as they will dominate the image (small logos on pockets are fine).  

  • arrange your outfits a few days before your session, so you are not rushed at the last minute.

  • We recommend bare feet for sessions, so you don’t need to worry about shoes

    With this session we like to create 2 different looks.

First look: dark tops and dark pants or darker coloured dress. It doesn’t need to be a black top, rather just think about the darker tones working together.
Second look: a more matchy, matchy look. It can be a totally matching outfit, or outfits that look very similar.

Think around creating one casual and one more formal look.

Our best advice is to let Mum choose her outfit first and then everyone else in the family can coordinate around her. If mum’s happy then everyone’s happy!

We want the photos to be natural, so we ask that you use minimal makeup on your daughter . With teenagers makeup is fine, but please still keep it natural. With little ones, it is best to just use lipgloss.

Blue and white

Pick blue and grey gives you some many versatile options. Shades if blue work really well together, and take away that look of being too similar. It can be great to throw a splash of colour in.

Neutral palette

Neutrals tones always work well together, and create a very natural look. This can be the prefect look if you would like to include some florals for little girls.

Black & grey

Black can be very flattering, so it can be a great choice for parents, especially if you . Pick grey & white means that it’s easier to select clothes for the kids as well.

Pick a palette of colours

This gives your outfits a cohesive feel but without being to “matchy matchy”. You want everyone to coordinate but no-one to stand out more than the others.

 

What happens after your session:

  • After your portrait session has ended, we know you’ll be as eager to see the results as we are to show them to you!

  • At the end of your session we will organise a time to get together to view your images approximately a week after your session. The viewing sessions are done on weekdays between 8am and 5pm. This is the really rewarding part...... you get to re-live the fun of your photography session and view some great images. You will need to allow an hour to view your images and work out your order.

  • If you have a partner or parents that are a part of the session or are interested in ordering portraits, we can organise a time that is convenient to all. You will need to make sure all decision makers are present at the purchasing session. If decisions are not made at the session, you are welcome to make a follow up appointment, however a studio fee of $100 may be charged.

  • your order will be processed and completed within 3 week (slightly longer for albums)

  • we will contact you to arrange a pickup time as soon as your artwork arrives
