What to Wear for Winter Photos | Boston Photographer

Wait…it was just 50 degrees yesterday now it’s 20 degrees out? Yup, winter in Boston is as unpredictable as it comes, but luckily the weather app is usually reliable for forecasting the upcoming days' conditions. 

When it comes to dressing for winter photos, here is my best advice.

1. Wear or bring extra layers. Nothing is worse than freezing! While you don’t want to look bulky like the Michelin tire logo, bring an oversized slouchy sweater or wear that thermal shirt underneath. Layering is a great way to complete a look.

2. Bring an extra coat. You can wear a more stylish coat for photos, but having an extra puffy coat to put on in between shots, or as we move from one place to the next, can be just the break you need. 

3. Gloves and cold weather accessories. Add a seasonal flare to your photos by adding those winter accessories like scarves, gloves, boots, and beanies. There are so many cute options for these items out there, have fun with it.

4. Color: Winter tends to bring some more muted colors so if you want to stand out add some splashes of color to your outfits. Layering is a great way to add color.

Most importantly choose to wear clothes you feel comfortable and confident in, no matter the season.

What To Wear For Your Spring Photos | Boston Family Photographer

Spring clothes are soooo cute!!! And such a much needed break from our winter jackets. I love a good spring wardrobe, but keep in mind we are in New England, and summer in April is usually just a dream. So before we break out the tanks and summer dresses, think about spring layers.. let me say this again. Spring layers. Just like fall layers, but lighter and more springy :)

Here are a few of my favorite spring looks and steps on how to nail them:

How to nail the layered spring look:

1. Start with one outfit you love, and base everyone else's around that

2. Don't be too matchy! Layer with simple patterns and color blocking

3. Texture. Incorporating different textures is a great way to avoid feeling "over-patterned"

4. Keep it timeless. Avoid words, graphics, and logos on clothing

5. Accessorize. We love layering for the simple reason it's a great way to incorporate a fun hat, pair of tights, jacket, scarf (not too bulky), or little peekaboo of color.
