The biggest questions that I have from family’s when scheduling their portrait sitting is “what do we wear”?

I will then go into a long speech about how I do not want them to show up as carbon copies… all wearing the same thing but rather come as individuals.  I will suggest that the choose 3 to 4 colors and then wear different combinations of those colors.

Well, I was searching the net the other say and I came a cross this brilliant idea of having a visual collage of “What To Wear”…. how neat is that.  For the first look that I put together I went with some fun summer colors (yellow, aqua, brown and white). It’s a casual look that say we belong together without saying we’re twins.  The clothing below can be found at Old Navy and GAP .

Look number two is because sometimes you just want something a bit more formal… you know for those Holiday portraits.  Here I used the combination of yellow, black, grey and white to make a slightly more formal look. These looks can be found at J. Crew, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Piperlime and Zandino.

And for those who want a slightly funkier/ hip look check this one out.  I used red, blue, black and grey for the colors and I just love the way it looks together.  You can find this collection at Banana Republic and Zandino.

Beautiful little Sophia.  She was such a trooper and did such a good job during our shoot - I just can’t wait to watch her grow.

Oh… look what I have coming up next.

We will have to come back in a few months to see if what they say about the empty nest syndrome is true.  Jamie has been away at Emerson studying film and Michael just graduated from high school and will be off and running come fall.  I think that this will not be the last that we will see these two handsome faces and I will be saying… I took their photo when.

Savannah Reyn…. isn’t that the best name ever?  We welcomed her into the newly expanded McBride family with a little photo session of her own… well she shared the spotlight with her big sister and brother too.
