Are you planning a children’s photography session in Birmingham but feeling overwhelmed by the thought of finding affordable wardrobe options for your little ones? Look no further! I’ve put together a guide to help you find budget-friendly clothing options for your children’s photography session in Alabama.
Whether you’re looking for cute and comfortable outfits or stylish and versatile pieces, there’s something for everyone. I understand the importance of selecting the right wardrobe for a successful shoot, so you can trust that these ideas will make your photos truly special. Get ready to capture those precious moments without the stress of expensive clothing options!
Amazon.com offers excellent, budget friendly wardrobe options for girls. To keep your wardrobe looking more expensive choose fabrics like chiffon, muslin, linen/linen blends, sweater knits, and corduroy. Flowy is always better for a great twirl factor and overall comfort. Dress 1 Dress 2 Dress 3
These short sleeve, linen-blend options from Amazon are great for versatility in weather where a sweater may be added on a cooler day. Dress 1 Dress 2 Romper
I also love Zara, Jamie Kay, Joyfolie. Wait for a sale to save.
Blue Romper (also available in shorts) Brown Romper Beige Rompers
Other great brands for boys include Hope and Henry and H&M.
When planning your child’s wardrobe for a photo shoot, there are a few do’s and don’ts to keep in mind. Do consider the location and theme of the shoot when selecting outfits and colors. A beach shoot calls for light, flowy clothing, while a fall session may warrant cozy sweaters and boots. In the spring, opt for white, pastel colors and floral patterns to complement the blooming surroundings. For summer sessions, think light and breezy fabrics like muslin and linen to keep your little ones cool and comfortable. Fall is all about off white’s/creams, earth tones and cozy layers.
Don’t forget about comfort! Your child should feel at ease in their clothing to capture their true personality. Do coordinate outfits for a cohesive look, but don’t go overboard with matching everything exactly. Mixing patterns and colors can add visual interest to the photos. Finally, do avoid clothing with large logos or characters that may distract from the main focus – your child’s beautiful face. By following these do’s and don’ts, you’ll be well on your way to creating stunning photos that perfectly capture your child just as you want to remember them.
