Family | Wardrobe

It’s always a common question…. “What should we wear?” Yesterday I stopped in JCrew Factory to pick up a gift, and started to notice several items that would look great together in a family session. A great general rule when looking for outfits is to start with one patterned/multicolored piece (with jewel tones) and build from there. JCrew is really great at putting out collections that cover the entire family…. you can easily walk in & out with coordinating outfits. Below I started with the girls pineapple top and used those colors for everyone else’s look. All these items are currently available on JCrew’s Factory website, but I know the pineapple top & green dress were both cheaper in store. I’m now booking fall family sessions…. great for that Christmas-card-worthy-photo! *I have 4 nieces, so I just did sisters instead of boys… but this shirt, with this vest & these jeans would be an adorable addition!

Engagement | Katelyn & Zack

Katelyn stepped out of the car wearing Lilly Pulitzer & Jack Rogers…. hello match made in bride-to-be/photographer heaven! The rain may have had us running in Myers Park, but when the water quit falling we were left with an empty, lush Freedom Park! 2016 will be here before you know it!  View all the photos here!

The thought of eloping or just having a small, intimate wedding just really appeals to me. We had a decent size wedding, but I strongly considered having a tiny ceremony at my dads farm. There are so many spots in NC that I would absolutely love to photography an intimate ceremony (a mountain top- maybe Hanging Rock State Park, the OBX, ect.). While I think a grand gown can be perfectly stunning for any size wedding, I also love the thought of something incredibly simple. I love to peruse the Zara website, and this morning I spotted 3 simple (re-wear-able!) options for a small ceremony or even a courthouse wedding. Yes, I believe even if you tie the knot at the justice of the peace you should wear something beautiful and there should be great photographs. I do offer hourly coverage for small events like this 🙂   LEFT / MIDDLE / RIGHT   ALL these are on sale for $35.99!!! Maybe splurge on a beautiful statement necklace, designer heels & organic bouquet
