“What does your client wardrobe actually include?” The question comes up during almost every inquiry call, and I completely understand the curiosity. You’re wondering what this whole client wardrobe thing really means and whether it’s actually going to work for your family. The truth is, it’s one of my favorite parts of what I do as a professional photographer in Cedar Falls and throughout the Cedar Valley.
A Different Kind of Preparation
Your photography session with me starts long before you arrive at my studio or session location. The preparation begins when we sit down together to talk about who your family really is. This conversation matters because I’m not just handing you a dress and calling it done. Your session deserves more thought than that.
We’ll look through the wardrobe collection together, and you’ll tell me about your family’s personality. The mom who loves simple elegance will find something completely different than the mom who wants a little drama in her images. Both choices are beautiful because they’re authentic to who you are.
What’s Included in My Client Wardrobe
The heart of my client wardrobe centers around mothers because I know how challenging it can be to find something that feels right. My collection includes top of the line dresses in soft, flattering colors that photograph beautifully. Each piece has been chosen with intention, considering how fabrics move, how colors complement different skin tones, and how you’ll feel wearing them.
Your little ones haven’t been forgotten either. The wardrobe includes clothing for children up to size 6x, carefully selected to coordinate with the adult pieces. This coordination creates harmony in your family photography without making everyone look too matched or stiff.
The Pieces That Come Together
For maternity photography, the wardrobe offers flowing gowns that celebrate this incredible season of your life. These aren’t dresses you’d wear to the grocery store, and that’s exactly the point. This moment deserves something special.
For newborn photography sessions, the wardrobe focuses on what works best for parents during those tender early weeks. Comfortable pieces in neutral tones help keep the attention where it belongs—on your new baby and the connection your family shares.
Completing Your Family’s Look
Husbands and older children will receive personalized styling guidance with specific recommendations they can find locally. This approach respects your time and your budget while ensuring everyone looks cohesive. The goal is creating images that feel like your family, not like you’re wearing costumes.
Beyond the Fabric
The real value of having a client wardrobe goes deeper than avoiding a shopping trip. It removes one more decision from your plate during an already busy season. It means you’re not second-guessing your choices the night before your session or wondering if what you ordered online will actually fit.
This service honors the fact that your family might not fit a traditional mold, and that’s something worth celebrating. Whether you prefer casual and relaxed or something more elevated, the wardrobe adapts to you. Your purple hair, your tattoos, your unique style – these elements make your images authentically yours.
The Freedom It Creates
Perhaps the best part is knowing you won’t wear this once and then watch it take up space in your closet for years. You’ll arrive, choose something beautiful, and then return it when we’re done creating your artwork. The process feels lighter, easier, and more focused on what actually matters, capturing the love your family shares right now, exactly as you are.
