Most photographers send you a PDF. Coordinating neutrals, avoid busy patterns, solid colors photograph well. I do something different.
Every session starts with a deep-dive interview before we ever talk about clothes. What your kids are into. How you want to feel in these images. What world we're building together. Wardrobe isn't an afterthought. It's part of how the world gets made.
These are the socks. Teal and black, striped, knee-high. They came out of a closet. They're the pop of color the entire portrait was built around.
That's usually how it works. I ask to see what you actually own, not what you bought for the occasion, but what you already love. There's almost always a piece in there that's exactly right. We find it together.
This is the umbrella.
Here's where they ended up.
That's what I mean when I say wardrobe is part of the world. For Park City families, sometimes the right piece is already in your closet. Sometimes it doesn't exist anywhere you could buy it, and in those cases, I make it. I've hand-sewn headpieces, accessories, and details made specifically for one portrait, for one family, for one story.
Ready to build yours? I'd love to start that conversation, or you can explore storytelling portraits for families and the full portrait gallery.
Creatively yours,
Dana
