I was given a challenge for this weeks What to Wear by someone very special coming into town flying all the way across the country for a family session (ok, and maybe a good visit too). Nancy’s niece, Mandy, will be here in a few weeks and is struggling with choosing the perfect clothes for her little family to wear. She requested a blue, brown, orange, and cream color palette (looove these colors, by the way!), so I decided to show two completely different looks with the same colors. Mandy and her family will be going downtown for their session, so I felt it was very important to include alot of texture and color into these clothes to coordinate with the urban feel. And, by the way, if you were interested in going downtown with your family but haven’t yet booked your Summer in the City Session, we have just a couple spots left!
The great thing about these two looks is that they reflect two totally different personalities, but either set would be totally appropraite for a session. One look is young, hip, and fresh while the other is a bit more classic but has great texture and an awesome splash of color and pattern in baby boy’s necktie (I think I’d go with the orange polka dot — go vols!). Let your family’s personality define what you wear. You will be much more comfortable and it will show in your images, whatever your style may be.
Dad – Linen Shirt, Pants, Flip Flops
Mom – Dress, Boots
Baby Boy – Linen Shirt, Pants, Sandals, Necktie (I love them all, so I showed all of her ties!)

Next week, I will finally post my long ago promised Brothers Only Edition of What to Wear, so all you mama’s with boys need to stay tuned…
