**Q:** What should we wear for a photoshoot with East Oaks Photography?

**A:** For your photoshoot with East Oaks Photography, it's essential to choose outfits that reflect both comfort and style to ensure you look your best. Here are some guidelines tailored for our Twin Cities newborn and family photography sessions:

1. **Coordinate, Don’t Match:** Opt for a cohesive color palette rather than identical outfits. This creates a harmonious look while allowing each family member’s personality to shine through. Soft, neutral tones like creams, grays, and pastels work beautifully, especially in our natural setting shoots.

2. **Consider the Season:** Dress appropriately for the time of year to ensure comfort. Light, breathable fabrics are ideal for summer, while layers and knitwear add cozy elements to fall or winter sessions.

3. **Avoid Loud Patterns:** Bold patterns and logos can be distracting. Instead, choose solid colors or subtly-patterned clothing that complements the overall aesthetic of the photos.

4. **Accessorize Thoughtfully:** Accessories like scarves, hats, or jewelry can add interest and texture to your photos. However, avoid anything too flashy that might detract from the focal point - your family!

5. **Comfort is Key:** Especially for newborn sessions, choose clothing that is comfortable and easy to move in. For parents, simple, relaxed attire helps keep the focus on your new addition.

6. **Timeless Over Trendy:** Selecting classic pieces ensures that your photos remain timeless and display beautifully in your home for years to come.

By keeping these tips in mind, you'll be perfectly dressed to capture the special moments we'll create together at East Oaks Photography. Let’s make memories that you'll cherish forever!
