I HAVE A CONFESSION.

In the past, when families have asked me, "What should we wear for photos?" I would generally say the usual: Be comfortable. Pick one or two colors and build around them. Or, probably the worst....check Pinterest.

FOLKS, I HAVE CHANGED MY TUNE.

I was doing a disservice to my families in my hands-off approach because I didn't want to sound overbearing, and I didn't want to add any stress to families by emphasizing session attire. But, after hundreds of sessions, I realize that the clothes families choose have a huge impact on the overall look of their final gallery.

The reality is, wardrobe matters! It matters a lot!

So, I decided to start helping my families in their choice of threads more. But how was I going to do this smoothly, easily, and without added stress or work to them OR to myself?

Enter: Style & Select. DON'T STOP READING. This service is amazing, and I am now including it, free of charge, to my clients with each and every session!

I am giddy.

Guys, this is truly simple and fun. I give you a code, you choose the color scheme and vibe you're after, enter the sex and size range you need for each family member, and then a perfectly curated selection of clothing items and accessories appear for you to peruse and add to a visual storyboard--complete with the current shopping link to that item.

OBJECTION ONE: The items aren't current. In my best Dwight Schrute: FALSE. They are all current, and updated daily.

OBJECTION TWO: The items are super expensive. NO! They are very reasonably and clearly priced between $10-$80 dollars. AND, if you already have a pair of, say, camel colored pants, you can snap a cell phone shot of them and add it in one click to your storyboard.

OBJECTION THREE: How am I going to track these things down? I mentioned the shopping link already, but in case you skimmed: There is a current shopping link to the items you have chosen.

OBJECTION FOUR: There's no way they'll have my size. OH BUT THEY DO. Maternity, plus size, newborn, teens/seniors--they've got it all covered!

It is the definitive answer to the WHAT TO WEAR conundrum. I styled our family of 6 in less than five minutes from my comfy chair, in my pjs. Once I finished my selections, Style & Select emailed me my finished storyboard, complete with shopping links.

Check out our results! (I LOVE them!)

In short, I am pleased.

Nope--I'm ecstatic that I'm now able to offer my clients this amazing service! Looking forward to all the fun things you choose!
