Hi!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First of all, let me thank you for booking the shoot! I am very excited to meet you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here is information that will help you get ready for our Holiday photoshoot. I know it’s a lot to read, but it’s all for you, I want to make sure you have perfect photos and the OUTFITS ARE VERY IMPORTANT! This post has all the information I would tell you over the phone, but it’s organized and you can find some visual inspiration!
OUTFITS
First of all, I would like to notice that I made a Pinterest board where I put together some outfit examples and photos, here is the link:
If we are having a mini shoot – 1 outfit is enough, if 45+ min shoot, we can do 2 outfits, but it’s not necessary.
THERE ARE NO DIRTY SHOES IN THE STUDIO. PLEASE WEAR CLEAN WHITE SOCKS and bring a clean pair fo shoes to change into.
–ABOUT PAJAMAS
Pajamas will be the easiest option for all the beds in the studio! The only thing I would recommend is no small letters/ patterns, flannel/ one color with big print, any other bigger pattern will be great! It also could be cute to match pajama pants with huge knit sweaters!

–NOT PAJAMAS
Here we have two options, the first one is more formal:
For ladies (moms and daughters) I would recommend to have long, flowy, light (weight wise) dresses, even if it’s longer than you-perfect! The more fabric the dress has the better that is! I also highly recommend velvet, sheer, knit, or silk.
Or! Our studio has amazing gowns for rent as well! This way you don’t need to worry about an expensive dress, you could rent from us for $50+ 🙂
For gentlemen (partners and sons) I simply recommend pants and shirts (formal looking). It’s better if you have lighter top and darker bottom (depends on the color theme you select below).
When it comes to colors, for “formal” I would recommend to choose one main light color (white, off-white, cream, beige, red, gold, burgundy, orange, mustard-yellow ) and then select (if you wish) one darker and more saturated color comparing to the main one for accessories (headband, jewelry, tie, suspenders).

Another way to go about it:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ladies, you could wear a long dress/long skirt and a huge sweater/pullover on top! The only thing I would recommend here is to have those oversized and textured (knit/fur/any other cool-looking textures).
For gentlemen, you could wear pants and sweaters! Don’t forget about bow-tie or suspenders!

–COMMON RECOMMENDATIONS
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I recommend for the each piece of your outfit to be ONE SOLID color with no patterns, marks, emblems, glitter, brands and etc. The reason for it is that than cleaner the background and outfits are- the more we focus on your faces, hence emotions!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-MAKEUP
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I would recommend to have it as natural as possible, maybe light blush, lipstick/lip linear (a little more saturated or dark than you usually would do because red color is going to wash out a little during color-correction as well), preferably no dark shadows.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-HAIR
⠀⠀
As natural as possible! Light curls on your tips and some extra volume at roots would look amazing (same for your little princesses).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yay! I think that’s it! Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions or just can’t decide what looks better! Also, feel free to send pictures of the outfits if you need an advice- I would be happy to help!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you again and hope you will have a wonderful day!

Best wishes,
Anastasia
