One of the biggest stressors for mom's about an upcoming photography session is choosing outfits that look great and are also comfortable. I love to help you prepare for a memorable and beautiful experience and one key element that contributes to the success of our session is your choice of clothing. To make this process a breeze for you, I've curated a list of my current top four favorite shops for session clothing. Each of these stores offers a unique blend of style, comfort, and versatility, ensuring you not only look fantastic but also feel at ease during our time together.


1. Boden - Boden is renowned for its vibrant and timeless clothing. From playful patterns to classic designs, Boden caters to a variety of tastes. And a plus is you can get clothes for both mom and littles. For our photoshoot, consider selecting outfits that reflect your family's personality. Bold colors and patterns can add a touch of whimsy, creating visually stunning images.

2.Hill House Home - Hill House Home brings a touch of luxury to your everyday wear. Their loungewear and dresses are not only stylish but also incredibly comfortable. Opt for soft fabrics and loose fits that allow for freedom of movement. Hill House Home's selection is perfect for capturing those candid moments of joy with your little one because you can get matching dresses for girls and some of the patterns now include cute short sets for boys.

Their dresses or outfits have fabulous textures and details that add visual interest without being too distracting. This shop doesn't have anything for littles, but is a great way to treat yourself to something fun to wear at and after your session.

4.Cecil and Lou - Just for the little ones, Cecil and Lou specializes in children's clothing, ensuring your little one is dressed just as impeccably as you are. Here you can find your child an outfit with color schemes that complement yours without being too matchy-matchy, creating a harmonious visual impact.

Clothing Suggestions Straight from my Client Prep Guide:

"Of course, I want you to feel beautiful. However, please keep in mind that with the nature of how I shoot, you will be playing with your little one. There will be moments where you are standing, sitting, holding your child, and quite possibly dancing and chasing. So, please plan accordingly. Wear something that you can move comfortably in and will feel okay sitting on the ground in. If it doesn't stay put or is too tight or short to get up and down in, please don't wear it. I would hate for any wardrobe malfunctions to take away from an amazing moment with your child."
