The last of three handy-dandy guides for styling for children’s sessions. Don’t forget that these ideas can easily be adapted to older children, too.
I would LOVE to do the “Little Gardener” theme session.
Special note to KS, mother of the penguin-loving beautiful boy A,: are you game? We can include the old fashioned bike! 😉

This is the second of three posts with handy-dandy guides and suggestions. I love the theme ideas here.
These pages are actually sneak peeks from my upcoming magazine, Studio: Volume 3.

I’m constantly impressed by how my clients style themselves (and their family) for their portrait sessions. For those who are not familiar with “styling” for a photography session, it involves selecting the clothes and props to use during a session. I recomend avoiding logos or letters, but beyond that, wear whatever you love and feel good in. If you pick a color for your entire family to wear, I suggest selecting one item of clothing for each person to wear, so that it’s not too matchy-matchy.
Some of my clients even do Pinterest boards as inspiration for our photo sessions. My only challenge with Pinterest is that I get sucked in, and end up spending waaaay too much time there. So, if you are a client and you would like send me your currated Pinterest board, go for it! But please don’t send it to me in the morning or my whole day will be shot! 😉
This is the first of three posts with handy-dandy guides and suggestions. I think I”m partial to this particular style guide because it matches the colors in my logo!For more suggestions, check back in a few days and/or see my previous post here.
Client testimonials rock my world! Here’s a lovely one from one of my Fabulous Fall in Colorado portrait sessions:
Natascha is a great photographer to work with! I have been fortunate enough to partner with her for product shots for my business, as well as family photos. She is wonderful with children and can get my usually challenging toddler to smile and engage with her! Thank you Natascha for all of your hard work and wonderful photographs! -Amy Z.
By the way, Amy is a fabulous crochet artist with wonderful items for sale on Etsy. I am lucky enough to have an extensive selection of her her lovely props and use at least one of them in each of my my newborn sessions.
Below is one of my favorite images from their Fabulous Fall Portrait Session held in Westminster, Colorado – just look at the sunlight filtering through the changing Aspen and Cottonwood leaves..
I esp. love the look on their little boy as he gazes down at Mommy and Daddy kissing!

When the weather is flirting with rain and the sky is turning gray, like it is right now in Broomfield, I crave bright colors.
Heck, as you can tell from my baby, child and family photography, I love bright colors regardless of the season or weather.
Along those same lines, I just love this color guide for portrait clothes from Lina Jarmond. (Thanks to Lina for letting me re-post it here.)
I am almost all booked for my fall sessions , and one of the first questions people ask is, “What should I wear?”
See the nifty image below for ideas (each color palette has a Mommy, Daddy and Kiddos suggestions), and/or check out page 26 in my Summer Studio Magazine.

I just love capturing these tender moments between mother and baby.
This photo was actually taken during my Spring Flower Sessions last year, but I never got a chance to post it.
I’ve got some amazing newborn photos to put up next, from a Spring Flower Session held last week.
