Little Ways To Look Your Best at Your Photo Session

Style Tips for Sweet, Timeless Photos

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with a beautiful mini session that captures the love, joy, and sweet chaos of motherhood? Whether you're a mama booking a session for you and your littles, or you're gifting one to someone special, choosing the right outfit can make all the difference in how your photos turn out!

Here are my top tips to help you feel confident and look your best for your Mother’s Day mini session:

1. Think Soft, Light & Airy

Mother’s Day sessions often have a warm, light-filled, floral vibe — so lean into that with soft colors like blush, ivory, baby blue, sage green, or light gray. These tones not only photograph beautifully, but they also keep the focus on the connection and emotion in your images.

2. Coordinate, Don’t Match

Gone are the days of everyone wearing the same outfit! Instead, choose a color palette (like soft neutrals or pastel tones) and mix it up with complementary shades and textures. Think: mom in a flowy blush dress, daughter in white, and son in khakis with a light blue shirt.

3. Keep It Comfortable and You

The best photos happen when you feel like yourself. Choose outfits that make you feel beautiful and comfortable — whether that’s a maxi dress with movement, a linen jumpsuit, or a pretty blouse and jeans. If you feel good, you’ll look good — I promise!

4. Add a Little Texture or Pattern (Lightly!)

A soft floral print, a bit of lace, or a subtle ruffle can add visual interest without overwhelming your photos. Just avoid loud logos or bold graphics — we want the focus on you and your sweet crew.

5. Don’t Forget the Details

Little touches like a delicate necklace, a favorite hair bow, or neutral sandals can tie everything together. And if you’re doing your session outdoors, consider bringing a brush or hair clips in case of wind.
