7 Tips for Preparing for Your Summer Session

 

You know we’re ready for a hot summer, but are you?  Here are seven ways you can make sure your summer portrait session goes off without a hitch.

Dress appropriately.  Summer means hot and humid weather, which can lead to sticky bodies. Choose breathable, lightweight fabrics that don’t weigh you down. As for shoes, sweet flats or loafers are a great option.  (Ahem, can we just put in here how in love we are with linen & cotton blends…#swoon!)

Think about your hair.  If you or a family member’s hair reacts to humidity in a negative way, opt for a hairstyle that won’t leave you feeling insecure.  For example, a pretty braid or an updo is a good choice.  Or you can wear a headscarf, or use a little extra product to keep frizz at bay.  If you’re still unsure might we suggest utilizing our professional HAMU services included for one in our session fee!

Pack necessities.  When packing your photo shoot necessities, we recommend bringing the following items:  Lots of water for all, a snack for sustenance, sunscreen, umbrella for shade, water mister, makeup touchup.

Get creative with session ideas.  Summer offers a host of activities that lend themselves to amazing photo sessions. For example, there’s the Stampede (well usually), perhaps a circus, festivals, and plenty more.  I’d be more than happy to shoot a really creative session with you.  Not to worry if you haven’t any idea what to get creative with, this is discussed in our pre-session consult, we’ve got your back!

 

Think about head to toe details. For example, if you’re wearing flip-flops or open toed shoes, you may want to have manicured feet.  If it’s really breezy, a hat or scarf can keep things under control.

Rest assured knowing I won’t let you overheat.  Sometimes it’s hard just to walk outside when it’s scorching outside, but know that we’re going to have an amazing shoot.  We’ll spend lots of time in the shade, dive into the cool A/C when we can, and I will never push your family into staying longer than they can or want.

Incorporate props.  Outdoor summer shoots are loaded with imagery as is, but we can always incorporate a few props into the mix. Vintage step stools in a field look gorgeous, as do blankets, balloons, and even visually striking treats (lollipops, ice cream, etc.).

 

We can’t wait to work with you and your family!

ALP Client Guide – Spring & Summer Session Wardrobe

Dressing for a Spring & Summer Family Session

Spring

The birds are chirping, the buds are blooming, and the snow has officially melted. That means it’s time for your spring family session. Here are a few wardrobe tips to ensure the whole gang looks smashing:

  • Play up the fact that it’s spring. Have a necklace with a butterfly pendant? Perfect! An insect-printed tee? Yes, please.
  • Channel the colors of spring.  While pastels are the most popular colour during Spring, other colours will work too.  Seriously – look out the window for inspiration for your family’s colour palette or pin our colour client guide image below. Greens, pinks, yellows, beige, khaki, and blues all work exceptionally well.
  • Layer up! Spring can be both warm and cold at once, so come prepared. We love spring scarves, light cardigans, vests, etc.

Summer

It’s hot outside, but fear not. Here are some cool wardrobe tips to make sure your summer family photo session is a hit:

  • Wear light fabrics that let you breath, but still look polished. It’s OK to show some skin, too. Shorts are good, as are tank tops.
  • Really play up the summer accessory factor. I’m talking sun hats for the ladies and big sunglasses for all.
  • You can even bring summer-appropriate props that complement your outfits. Maybe it’s a beach ball, balloons, giant lollipop or messy ice cream cone.
  • Choose shoes that are comfortable and summery. Flip flops, loafers, open-toed pumps, even sweet sneakers on your kiddos.

    Now that we’ve shared some of our favourite colour schemes and you’re still unsure, keep it simple!  You can never go wrong with white cotton/linen blends.  All we can say is #swoon
