For Him
Try to coordinate with each other. Jeans, Slacks and soft fabrics look good on him too. Slacks and nice plain shirts can look fantastic. Also be sure to bring plain T-shirts in solid colours such as grey, black or white and please avoid any logos as they can look tacky in photos. You can see our Pinterest Board for inspiration. We ask that you please do not have anything in your pockets during your session

Siblings
For the Boys - Jeans or Jean Shorts or a nice pair of pants or shorts and a plain top or shirt (without patterns or logos)
For the Girls - A nice dress
They’ll be barefoot, so no need to look for clean shoes. Please make sure their eyes, nose, finger and toenails are clean and groomed

Hair & Make Up
Make -up should be classic and clean. However your foundation can be quite thick as this photographs well and helps us to smooth out your skin in post-processing. Finger and toenails groomed. Lotion and lip balm will help with close-ups.
Hair the same - loose is best. Have your hair either straightened or curled/waved depending on your style. Please make sure that everyone's nails are clean and trimmed as we often do close ups of your hands on your gorgeous belly
