what to wear maternity


Hey guys and gals. This is my second attempt at giving you some ideas as to what to wear for sessions. I can barely dress myself much less help others so I hope this can help. :-)

This blog post is geared for the mother to be. I'm starting to have more and more inquiries for maternity sessions. I know from past experience with friends and family that it is hard to find cute and nice fitting clothes while pregnant. so I hope this helps.

If you are looking at these and not pregnant the rules are the same.
1) keep it simple
2) no loud patterns
3) when in doubt just coordinate your colors. (don't have you and/or families outfits all one color)
4) nothing to tight or to loose
5) try not wear the same color as your surroundings. example; if you are outside in a grassy area dont wear green, if you are near lot of blue, don't wear blue... you will blend in. :-)

6) STIRPS... if you most, make them small and not to contrasty. example dark blue and white stripes will make you dizzy when looking at photos. Its weird. I don't want my photos to make you sick to your stomach. :-)
Feel free to click on the photos to take you to polyvore where you can see more details about the clothes.

I found Oldnavy/Gap, Mothercare, and Nelly to have some of my faves at a good prices.

Enjoy

Ps. you can see my love for flats. Plus I know your not "suppose" to wear heels. Most of these outfits can be replaced with heels/wedges if you feel the need.

Emilee and Jerry Gainesville engagement

 Emilee and Jerry are truly one of the best couples I have ever meet and photographed.  So natural with one another and... I mean really. Does Emilee have one bone in her body that people just doesn't want to hug and be friends with for the rest of their life?

We originally had to reschedule for rain and then almost got rained out again during our session, but we got lucky, and it waited till we were done.

And I just have to say, I love it when couples can think of meaningful things to incorporate into a session. Like there love for scrabble, there lunch time walks in the park, and Emilee's love for the theater.

Gah soooo cute together... and guys "get a room already ;-)"









Thanks for stopping by Kala Keene Photography blog, Gainesville, Lake City, Ocala Florida and surrounding area Wedding and Portrait photographer. Also servicing and traveling to Los Angeles, Orange County and Las Vegas.

Adri and Rudy Pregnancy Announcement

Oh my gosh how Freaking cute are these two?? I MEAN.

Adrianne contacted me with a surprise :-) she wanted to announce to her friends and family that are not in town for her expecting arrival. I loved the idea, and I couldn't wait to photograph her and Rudy and I most defiantly can not waitto find out what she is having. They are going to be an amazing loving family and I cant wait to be part of it as a friend and capture the moments as a photographer.

We have a fun time at a local Gainesville park one morning trying to catch the sunrise (kinda missed it but still had a blast)

What to Wear for photos part one - couples and family

Its about time I post a "what to wear" blog post right? yep I thought so.

So this is part #1.
I will do another one for the ladies because it seems to be that the ladies are the ones that are really wanting to know what to wear. :-) (reason to shop? hehe)

I had a brilliant idea that I was going to use the site Polyvore to "simply" create a few outfits to show you and I would be done and be on my way. HA!!

There was waaaaaayyyyy to many options. GESH and to be honest I could only find a few mens clothes

SO, I did what anyone else would do . GOOGLE. found some that I liked and linked them back here.

*** these are just for suggestions and to give the visual people something to look at. :-) I know I like to see what things will look like and I know allot of others do too.
So of course with these you can change and put in your favorite colors and patterns. Have fun with it and just be the best of yourself.

I want to give a shout out to all the people that take the time to do these. Its hard and time consuming.

If you want to know more about the outfits click on the photos and it will take you to Polyvore :-)

Have a great weekend everyone

*** notice there are no LOUD patterns or logos (distracting)
*** notice there are no real baggy or to tight options (you want to look put together)
*** notice there are no thin stripes (will make you dizzy)
*** and notice that the colors coordinate but are not to matchy matchy. (the 90s called they want there all white shirts back)
