Whenever I book a portrait session I always get asked “What should I wear?”  I always answer that you want to look like yourself, but you want to look like your best self!  Portrait sessions are the best time to go out and get your hair/makeup done – if you feel beautiful you exude beauty!  You also want to be comfortable in what you are wearing, because then you will more likely feel free to be at ease in front of the camera.  It is important to accessorize, accessorize, accessorize!  Hats, jewelry, scarves, gloves, layering.  All of these things add visual interest to your photos.

I bought myself a new cloche this holiday season and everytime I wear it I look in the mirror and think “This would be PERFECT for a session!”  The feathers bring texture AND pops of color.  I thought I’d share an image with you – I wore it today and took some shots!
