My clients have done a fabulous job of choosing trendy, flattering, & unique clothes (appropriate masculine adjectives can be substituted). : ) However, it has occurred to me, perhaps because of their greatness, that some may not be sure what to wear (or are just curious). If you have a closet full of options but you can’t decide on anything, it doesn’t mean that you have to go to the mall. Here’s a link that will, hopefully, help you with this decision.

What to Wear It is posted by another photography site out of Colorado and though I would add my own commentary to the list (who wouldn’t?), I believe it’s a solid starting point. So I’m going to add a few comments of my own to append this list, well, mostly because I, like most, have my own opinions that I’d like to add.

For example, I love hats & I hope that you love hats & will bring one with you, however, if you’re coordinating your outfit with your hat & are planning to take photos without the hat later, since we’re in Lubbock, it’s likely windy and the hat & wind combo have great potential for mussing (don’t you just love that word?) your hair. So, in this case, please, please bring your hat, but save it for the end of the session instead of the first outfit.

On the other hand, I entirely support the idea of bringing your friend, mother, sister, or whoever else is handy so they can keep an idea on little details (like the wind & hair combo), make you laugh and offer their suggestions. Likewise, I would love for you to bring your puppy, kitty or baby tiger (really, if you have one let me know because I’d love to see it), but please let me know ahead of time so we can choose pet-friendly locations.

One last comment is that I do suggest at least one more “formal” outfit – skirt, prom dress for girls, button up shirt or jacket for guys (and sorry, guys, that the link’s suggestions are less tailored to you. I’m interested in putting together my own personal recommendation list, but with school, work, etc. it’s still on the back burner).

So, I hope this has helped if you were on the verge of panic & maybe saved you and/or your parents a few bucks (so you can buy more prints or announcements from me! wink, wink).

Here’s my second migration of Children’s Photography from my old blogger here. The original Ella post can be found here just in case you’re curious. There are a few different photos since I was using the actual blogger upload feature for the original post & simply put, it wouldn’t pull them off blogger into my new WordPress, so I’m doing it myself! : )

Now here’s some of the super-sweet Ella!

Don’t you just love her blonde hair & blue eyes! Adorable!
