PureWonder Photography. What to Wear?

This weeks edition of What to Wear will focus on girls clothes. I won’t go into siblings just yet as that will be another installment. However, I just thought I would run through some of the ages and post some good clothing options for each. 

Again, think outside of the box. You don’t want to hinder their little personalities by having them wear a black shirt and jeans but you want their outfits to represent who they are. I know, this is different. Maybe even a bit scary. It forces you to really think about your little ones and their personalities. But, really, how many christmas cards have you gotten in the mail with the typical green and red theme. I have been there. I have done that(I know, close your jaw. Shocking.). 

You also want to be thinking about location. Are you going for an urban feel? A park feel? An open lot feel? Take all this into consideration when choosing your children’s outfits. 

Don’t forget the shoes.This is something that is easily forgotten about until you see those beat up tennis shoes glaring back at you in your pictures.  Go barefoot if you dare.  And remember, if you are going to invest in pictures, invest in new outfits. 

Let’s look at the ages…

0-6 months. If it is just the child, I say go with a cute diaper cover or a plain white onesie. You can always spruce it up with a tutu or a sweet little petticoat. But, you can’t get much cuter than some serious belly rolls.  Check out this link for some super cute tutus. I ordered a tutu from her and it is adorable. Ms. T will be wearing it for it’s debut during her 6 months photos next week. So, stay tuned. 

6-12 monthsThese are so bright and fun. They capture personalities but don’t distract from the child. 

12-24 months

Don’t get me wrong…you don’t need a shoe at this age. But, if you are so inclined or it’s cold out…these were super cute!

2-3 year olds

3-5 years old – at this age, kids have an opinion. This becomes more difficult. Honestly, my best piece of advice is to find something that they like. Because, if they don’t like the outfit and/or they are uncomfortable, it will show in the pictures. 

Good for any age…
I think this dress is adorable. Miss Teagen might just be sporting this in a future picture. Who says that stripes don’t look good in pictures? I beg to differ.
