Fashion Friday: Engagement Sessions


Got a ring for Christmas? Congratulations!
The next thing on your to-do list before saying "I do" should be some stylish engagement pictures! This is the beginning of a wonderful journey for the both of you and you should document the occasion. These are the kind of photos that you will show your children and grandchildren years later, essentially....
your first family photos.

Bring along 2 outfits for your session. You may also take into consideration the location of your shoot. What feeling do you want it to evoke? The photos above are a good example. They chose casual and sweet for the first location, edgy and a bit sexy for the second. This made for a great session that flowed seamlessly. 
Complimentary colors with earth or neutral tones are always a hit, but never....never matchy froo froo! Wearing the same colored shirt will date your photos circa 1980ish and does not make for an appealing photo. Trendy clothes may look cool now, but those can also make your photos look dated. Please, be YOURSELF! This is not the time to try out new styles, you will not be comfortable and it will show.
You may want to splurge a bit on a nice pair of shoes (they will be in the photo) or professional make-up. It will be worth it when you see your finished images.
Hope this helps!
