Khakis and white shirts

As a photographer you get asked MANY questions before a shoot. One of my favorite questions is, "What do we wear?" My favorite answer is, "Not white shirts and khakis!" I think at one point in time our society lead many families to believe that we should all match and wear the same colors to take family photos. However, I can tell you (in my professional opinion) that point in time is LONG gone. The more texture and color you have the better. I always tell my families to pick out colors that compliment one another. If I have someone who is completely lost, I tell them to go to the paint department at Home Depot and look at a the different color palettes. One will stick out and eventually they are off finding outfits for their family session. Just recently I did a photo shoot at Casa Feliz in Winter Park. The texture and bright blue colors of this historic place are great for any photographer to work with. This momma did her research and put their outfits together perfectly. Each family member was in a different color and ohhhhh patterns galore!

Another secret- Pinterest and gap.com have great ideas for what to wear as a family to a photo shoot. So get with the times people! Don't be afraid to be bold and beautiful!!

Mathew's Wedding

Wedding bells were ringing for Serena & Mitchell's wedding at Mystic Dunes Resort & Golf Club. The beautiful green, black, and ivory colors were absolutely gorgeous. It is so nice to see a couple who was willing to try something new and have such bold colors in their wedding. Our favorite part of the wedding was when Mitchell (the groom) stole the mic and started RAPPING to his new wife! They are such a fun couple and we had so much fun capturing one of the most important days in their lives. We wish you many years of happiness!
