Pretty & Patriotic {What to Wear Wednesday}

This weeks What to Wear Wednesday is channeling a patriotic color palette without being too themed. Before it gets too cold, I think a patchwork quilt and a picnic basket on the grass would be the perfect setting for these outfits:)Absolutely gorgeous:)Loving how vintage chic Mom’s outfit is looking! What’s your favorite part of the outfits this week?

{I think it can sometimes be hard for families to decide what to wear during their photography session. Understandably so, it’s hard to visualize how different outfits might look together. Often times it seems families will revert to the old khakis & white shirts. Please, please, don’t do it!}

{Let your family’s personalities shine through during your photo shoot. Remember, coordinate your outfits, don’t match them. A good rule of thumb is to pick one piece, like a dress for your little girl, then pick colors from that dress for the rest of the family.}

Alexandria {Kindergarten}

My baby, ohh my how fast the time has gone! This was already one year ago! For some reason these Kindergarten photos of her never got blogged. So now I get the chance to look through them a year later and shed a few tears at how much my baby girl has grown.

These are another example of fun school portraits we can do with your child that are more creative, more fun, and have so much more personality than the everyday school portraits your child will bring home this year:)Like what you see?

Liliana {1st Birthday Party}

I covered my sweet god daughter Liliana’s first birthday party and it was so much fun! I can’t believe she’s one already. She spent the day surrounded by people who loved her, which is a lot of people! After all, how can you not love this little one:)

Did you know Candid Contrast Photography covers birthday parties? I looked high and low for a photographer for my daughter’s first birthday and wasn’t able to find one. I think a photographer for a birthday party is so important. I know many people spend countless hours and dollars on details, food, and decorations for their child’s party. When the big day comes around it can be very crazy. Why try to be everything? You already have to be the host. Why not enjoy the party and hire a photographer to capture all of those fleeting moments you may have otherwise missed. Another bonus to hiring a photographer… you’ll actually be IN the photographs! Crazy, right?:)Also, Candid Contrast Photography’s portrait clients get a special discount on their child’s birthday party coverage.

Rosy Rays of Sunshine {What to Wear Wednesday}

I love love these outfits! I’m kind of obsessed with yellow right now for some reason. You better believe I bought the yellow necklace from Piperlime that is featured on this weeks What to Wear Wednesday. Please don’t be afraid of bright colors for your portrait session, they photograph beautifully.:)What is your favorite part of this weeks outfits?
