Greensboro NC Child Photography - Model Search coming soon!!!
Coming up soon, it's Model Search time... and every age, shape, and size is needed from babies to adults!
Everyone who shows up at the free Model Search shoot goes into my Model Book, which is what I pull from when I need models for commercial jobs or for testing new locations, props, etc.
Once the date is set, just show up at the time and place given -- it'll be a marathon of 5 minute mini-shoots. Each model gets a $25 Bliss gift certificate for a future session!
When you get called for a commercial or testing shoot, you get the session free, and a $25 credit!
If you want to know when the Model Search date is set, you need to do one of the following...

What to Wear!
Got portraits coming up and no clue what to wear? Never fear! Here are some tips and ideas that will help... and if you're still in doubt, feel free to ask!
What to Wear Tips
For colors, think red, eggplant purple, bright blue, kelly green, hot pink (my favorite!), even chocolate brown and black. Mix and match solids, stripes and patterns... it creates visual interest.
For families, instead of doing everyone in matching outfits (boring!) it looks great if you just coordinate and let everyone have their own individual look, while still choosing things that coordinate loosely.
For instance, you could all do denim on the bottom (jeans, skirt, etc) and then different colored solid tops (tank, polo, tee, etc). Bright, bold, deep colors are best.
With kids you can really play and have fun with the outfits. Little girls look sweet if you add fun hair accessories to cute 'dos, jewelry, tutus, funky shoes, etc. For little boys, think bright tops, and cool hats and hairstyles.
Babies look precious in everything, so play with bright, fun outfits for them. If you're having a newborn session, we'll do some photos in baby's birthday suit too if you want, and capture those little baby rolls and dimples.
For maternity sessions, you'll want to show off that blooming body with clothing that conforms to the belly. Jeans and a form-fitting cotton/spandex tee look amazing on everyone! Some other ideas would be flowing maternity dresses and kicky skirts with snug tops. Steer clear of billowy tops and patterned tops, as these distract rather than putting the focus on that beautiful belly. A white men's button-down open at the bottom to show the belly is always sexy!
Overall, choose clothing that's comfortable and that you feel good in. That confidence will come across in your portraits!
To borrow from my favorite fashion guru, Stacy London, it doesn't have to match, it just has to go!
Things to avoid...
Shirts with large motifs or words
Bright white - some people love the look of all white and if you do, that's ok... however do consider bold, darker colors which are the most flattering.
Too-big clothing - it adds pounds!
Here are some ideas!
For ladies...
For guys...
For teens...
For little boys...
For little girls...
For baby boys...
For baby girls...
For moms-to-be...

It was a gorgeous evening and I love love love Harmon Park for shoots... the stone walkways, the gazebo, the fountain, the landscaping... it's perfection!!
