Shopbop’s annual spring sale starts this coming Monday 4/12 and runs through Friday 4/16. This sale is a great opportunity to find new pieces for spring and summer – and for spring and summer shoots!

This week’s post is all about fall dresses. If you’re ever really stuck on what to wear to your shoot, look through your dresses; you can dress them up or down depending on your shoes and accessories, and dress your family up or down to coordinate with whatever you’ve chosen for yourself.

Hello and happy first weekend of fall! Lately I have been thinking about how I can help answer my most frequently asked photography question: “What should I wear to my shoot?”. I thought I would start a series sharing pieces that I know will photograph well. I hope these beautiful sweaters spark ideas – either for treating yourself to something new, or shopping your own closet.

Because I am often asked for outfit recommendations for family shoots, I thought I would start putting together blog posts with things I know will photograph well.
