This is the age old question from clients when preparing for a session. While I’m stressing about the time of the shoot and where the sun will be and whether I should use the 50mm or the 24-70 for most of the shoot (the 50 of course) the client is mainly worried about one thing; what in the heck should my kid wear?? I’ve had people show up with trunks full of outfits, and I have to say… I love that. I love putting together outfits, I have such a cliche “passion for fashion”.

Here are a few inspiration photo’s from some of my favorite places to shop. You can pick up outfits from these great spots or you can just use the photo’s to help inspire you with some things you already have!

JCrew’s crewcuts for kids just kills me. Seriously.

And how can you not just *love* matilda jane.

And I just love supporting the community of amazing artists on etsy. Seriously it’s probably the best website on the face of the planet, every amazingly adorable unique thing you never knew HAD to have.

this pillowcase dress is ACTUALLY made out of pillowcases. I am dying.

That shirt? That hat? Those shades? Way too much coolness in one outfit.

And you can get your own child’s silhouette on this dress. Call me weird, but I waaaaannnnt one!

And the artist that makes these adorable creations is from my hometown of Texarkana and is also a photographer! Adding a cute headband or hat to an outfit is just the icing on the cake.
