I’ve realized lately that I kind of like to break the rules. Really, just in photography, not in real life. My husband still makes fun of me for STILL refusing to go in the exit at WalMart. Most recently, I realized that I really like to put color on color. Oooh-taboo to put a green shirt on green or red on red? It freaks people out when I suggest it. “Won’t we blend in?” Nope. I like it. I think you will, too. I guess those are my baby steps towards being a rebel. Yours too.
Oh, and while we are on the subject of COLOR, I ALWAYS recommend wearing it for your sessions. See how VIBRANT and BOLD they are? SO much better than black, white, navy blue, brown…you catch my drift. Oh, and I am very anti-matchy-matchy despite the title of this post. The word of the day is COORDINATE. Take different shades of a color in different styles of clothing, or different patterns, or even better, mix several colors and patterns (time to retire the polos). Have a little fun with what you wear and bring out your individual personalities!!! You will love them so much more and they will be much more YOU!

Todd Laffler - So if I hired you to photograph my family, we wouldn’t be able to all wear blue jeans and white t-shirts together?
LOL, nice post!
Christine - LOVE the colours… I say “Rules are meant to be broken!!!”
And this is wise advice – I’m forever telling my clients the same thing! 
Brandi - I love the colorful photos.. So pretty and I seriously LOL’d at the exit door thing because the same thing happens with us. Brian makes fun of me for not wanting to go in the exit. I think he likes to purposely do it since he’s such a rebel and stuff.
Anna - i’m diggin’ this post…
