Ajax,Durham Region, GTA Family Photographer:: Fashion Friday!

Been a little while and now that we are welcoming Spring with open arms, it's about time for a what to wear post now that the questions are more frequent :) Here's a few ideas and visuals to help.

 

 

A few tips to remember:

Be comfy- when we are outdoors we will have fun, be prepared to lay down in the grass, sit on a tree branch or stump,run! You need to be able to move around freely in your clothing. Kids especially. Uncomfortable children = cranky children and we all know how it goes from there ;D

Layer- looks wonderful and gives depth to a photograph!

Coordinate- clothing should coordinate with your location and type of session your are aiming for. Your choices of clothing should be coordinated together.  This is where it all ties in.

Don't be afraid of colour, however please omit the matching tops or bottoms.  Matching clothing can result in a not so wonderful photo.

Don't stress- I want this to be a fun experience for you and the family.  Don't stress.  Should you have any questions, just drop me a line and I'll glady help out.  You are going to be awesome! No worries.

Feel great- feeling comfortable about your clothing choices and yourself makes all the world in LOVING your images. I want you to LOVE your images too.  Being yourself and feeling beautiful allows the fantastic person you really are shine during your session!

Ajax,Durham Region Newborn,Baby,Children,Family Photogapher:: Emotions

Tell me something.  Wherever you are right now, go and pick up and picture, scroll through your albums on your phone,laptop or baby books from your childhood.  Got one yet?....Ok good!

Hold it in front of you.

Memorieze it.

Relive it.

Inhale...

How does it make you feel? Does it take you back to that exact moment in time?  Can you close your eyes and see the events of that day unfolding?

Inhale again, and be thankful that we have this wonderful gift. The gift of memories.

Just as a song brings you back to a time in your life or the scent of a certian brand of perfume reminds you of Grandma, photographs do the same.

 

In fact I know they are MUCH more powerful. It's no secret...they have the power to connect us with our emotions.

Our emotions drive us on a daily basis. They keep us going and push onwards and upwards.

So the next time you are looking at an image. Devour it, savor it and most of all enjoy it.  Knowing that tomorrow is a new day and we can do it all over again.
