Here are some tips to ensure your day is stress free and flawless for your spring photo session.


1. Wear layers. Spring can be finicky in the sense that you can go from frigid to overheated during the photo shoot. We suggest wearing layers -- tank top, tee shirt, cardigan, scarf, etc. That way whoever is in the photo session can peel off, or add, a layer as they see fit and remain comfortable throughout the session. 


2. Location is a big deal. You better believe we're going to take advantage of the fresh, warm air and all those buds popping up from the ground and in the trees. If you have any favorite locations, let us know. We also have list on hand. 


3. Play into the colors of the season when choosing outfits. Fresh pops of green, blue, pink and yellow are always a hit in the springtime. We recommend choosing a color theme, then slightly deviating from that with accessories to keep things interesting. 


4. Speaking of accessories: wear those! Choose jewelry, scarves, or simple prints that play into the spring theme. Butterflies, flowers, insects, etc will make for some beautiful pictures. 


5. Time it right. Book a session too early and you may miss out on those spring buds. Book too late and you've already wandered into summer territory. Keep an eye on the weather and send your photographer an email, or call, when the time is right. 


6. Incorporate props. Spring offers some beautiful backdrops, and some props could blend perfectly. For example, old wooden chairs look stunning in a sea of blooming flower bushes, and a quilted blanket is lovely on the fresh, green grass. 


7. Really think about your footwear. Spring can often mean a soggy ground, so flip-flops or heels are not the best choice. Instead, wear something that's comfortable and spring appropriate, like loafers, flats or boots.
