It is almost time! The mini session fundraising event to support Lara’s League in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer is only a few days away. Belmont Country Club was so kind to allow us the use of two rooms for the entire day! It just warmed my heart to see the outpouring of love and support as members and friends of the community signed up for the sessions. We had so much interest, that my colleague Jennifer Anderson (Jennifer Anderson Photography) has jumped on board to allow us to add some additional sessions. We certainly have a full day and a ton of work ahead of us… but we are all so EXCITED to see everyone on Sunday!
I promised Havalynn (Lara’s League team member and this event’s coordinator) that I would post some samples of the backdrop so that participants can visualize the colors that we will be working with. Hopefully this will help in making your wardrobe selections. I really tried to keep the colors very neutral so that any color would work for you. I will have some chairs, suitcases, baby carriages, etc. on hand for arranging groups and focusing attention… but these images of Havalynn’s beautiful children will show you the basic set:
As you can see, this set will accommodate a variety of styling options from colorful and funky European fashion to a more classic Strasburg look. In terms of my suggestions for wardrobe, here’s a few observations that may be helpful:
- Follow your own personal style– dress the way you want to remember your children/family. The more at ease the children are in the clothing, the more genuine they will appear in the photo.
- Think of where you want to display the photo as you make your clothing selections. For example, photos where the subject is wearing more formal attire work well displayed in a more formal area of your home.
- Avoid wearing clothing with logos and distracting designs.
- In planning clothing for more than one subject, do not dress both subjects in the same solid color. Rather, opt for complimentary colors/patterns.
- If you need additional guidance and suggestions, feel free to email me!
