WOMEN
Simple dresses, timeless pieces, flowy fabrics that are comfortable to wear ankle or full length so you can be in the moment instead of worrying about rearranging straps or skirts.
Linen pants / collared shirts look lovely soft pattern works (1 person limit) use the colours from your dress to match the rest of the family members (family members in solid colours)
Textures are great too like a texture patterned sweater
Shoes - sandals or flats
MEN
Plain chino pants/shorts
Linen shorts/collared shirts
Shoes - loafers or dressy sneakers
Please avoid wearing tight shirts, wear for comfort & the right fit
KIDS
Girls - pinafore style dresses are gorgeous, timeless pieces, simple designs, flowy, knee or full length
Boys - overalls, chino shorts/pants, white collared shirt or colonial style shirt. Linen is also lovely
Shoes - sandals, boots, leather sneakers
Please also secure hair so it stays out of faces, I love seeing eyes & smiles as much as possible
NEWBORN
Baby rompers
Shoes - barefoot or if it's winter time, some booties
Avoid tight outfits like jeans & chino pants or clothes that are too big, time will be lost rearranging the outfit instead of creating memories
C O L O U R | S C H E M E
Neutrals / earthy colours are best (3 to 4 colours)
Avoid logos, loud prints, graphics or matchy matchy (all in white tshirts & jeans) - coordinate colours so they compliment instead
Yes to accessories like hats, gorgeous straw brim hats or felt ones can add to the shoot

Hair + make up
Highly recommend Lisa Vassallo HMUA
Specialising in mobile hair & make up services for 20+ years.
She personally looked after me for my own newborn session in my own home, made me look & feel like a million dollars.
I also found that most HMUA only worked weekends, she was available during the week as well which was a blessing.

Spray tans
That sun-kissed look is something a lot of people want for their sessions.
Please make sure you have the spray tan done a few days beforehand so it has some time to settle, subtle tones are great.
I highly recommend Skin Haus by Tay, she matches your skin tone perfectly.
Based in Londonderry, please get in touch with her on Instagram
