Maine & New Hampshire Family Photographer // Why You Won’t Get a Wardrobe Shopping List From Me

Look, I get it. You book a family session, and the next thing the internet screams at you is:
“BUY A BEIGE DRESS. PUT YOUR KID IN LINEN. DON’T YOU DARE BRING COLOR OR PERSONALITY.”

Nah. Not here.

If you're looking for a photographer who sends out shopping guides with carefully curated links to trendy earth-tone outfits and faux suede brim hats that absolutely no one wears in real life — you’ve taken a wrong turn, my friend. I will happily help you with your styling, I just won’t tell you how to dress.

I will not — repeat, will not — tell you to buy a whole new wardrobe to look like a family you found on Instagram but don’t even relate to. That’s not my style, and honestly? That’s not your vibe either.

Because here’s the deal: I want every session to look like you — not some neutral-toned influencer fantasy.

You love bold colors? Wear them. Your kid refuses to take off their Batman hoodie? Guess what — that’s who they are right now, and that’s the memory worth capturing. You live in your favorite band tee and combat boots? Hell yes. That tells me more about your story than any flowy dress ever could.

This isn’t about creating a Pinterest-perfect photo. It’s about capturing the badass, chaotic, beautiful truth of your life.

Real talk: I don’t want to photograph the styled version of your family. I want to photograph you.

Your weird inside jokes. The way your youngest hides behind your legs. How your oldest rolls their eyes but secretly loves being close to you. The real stuff. The good stuff. The stuff you’ll actually want to remember in 20 years.

That means the location, the vibe, and yes — what you wear — should all reflect who you are, not who the algorithm wants you to be.

So don’t stress about curating the “perfect” look. Just show up as yourselves — messy, loud, loving, wild — and I’ll do the rest.

No suede hats required.
