Hey friends, let’s talk about clothes for your shoot when the temperature changes. Tennessee decided that today would be the day it would feel like fall (high of 83 yesterday to a high of 68 today), so this seems like a really appropriate conversation to have.\u00a0 We don’t all end up with mid 60’s-low 70’s and sun for shoots in October and November.\u00a0 Tennessee has really weird weather that can be unpredictable, and it is important that you be able and willing to flex the clothing you choose for your session, too.\u00a0 There are several ways to do it, so keep reading!<\/p>\n

Let’s say you have your heart set on this adorable dress for your little one.<\/p>\n

From Tea Collection.<\/h6>\n

So cute, right?\u00a0 This would be an awesome pattern to introduce into a group, and y’all know how I feel about having 1-2 great patterns for family groupings.\u00a0 Let’s say it is 50 degrees the day of your session.\u00a0 If you leave your precious girl in this and just her little Mary Janes, she will be cold and grumpy, which, as you’d imagine, is not a good look for photos.\u00a0 If she is grumpy, you will be grumpy, and your photographer will be… ahem.\u00a0 I think you see where I’m going with this.\u00a0 What to do?<\/p>\n

Add a jacket or cardigan.\u00a0 This dress would look adorable with a jean jacket. If you go the jacket route, make sure it doesn’t scream “outerwear” ie it isn’t a random fleece.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Gap.<\/h6>\n

Add leggings or tights.\u00a0 <\/strong>If the weather is cold, try to go with leggings instead of tights since they are thicker and would provide more warmth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A 3rd option: add BOTH a jacket and leggings.\u00a0 If it is in the 50’s outside, she will appreciate it during our 30-60 minutes together.\u00a0 I’ll appreciate it, too, because it means she is less likely to be uncomfortable.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is so stinkin’ cute.\u00a0 I need someone to wear it to a session this fall, please.<\/p>\n

Add a slip or tanktop under the dress.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This would not be visible, would it would add another layer and would not take away from the outfit visually.<\/p>\n

One final option: add a cute (but warm) hat.\u00a0 Some outfits could even work with a scarf.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Gap.<\/h6>\n

What’s a better way to show you’re taking fall photos than with cute cold weather accessories? This hat with the big pom-pom would look adorable on a Christmas card!<\/p>\n

All right, friends, that was fun (I always enjoy an excuse to window shop for clothes!), and I sure hope it was helpful, too.\u00a0 Next up… boy’s edition.<\/p>\n

XOXO,<\/p>\n
