Fall Portrait sessions are starting up, and I've been asked "What should I wear?" several times now. Every single time I refer them to these blogs:

Both of those blog posts are great resources to look at.
My two VERY basic rules of thumb are: 1) BE COMFORTABLE! You may think you look snazzy squeezing into those jeans, but in the end your discomfort will be written all over your face in the photographs. 2) AVOID LOGOS/CARTOONS! Your daughter's Dora the Explorer shirt may be the cutest thing in the entire world, but it won't photograph well. Also, those cartoons/characters are dated. You don't want to be looking at those photos 10 years from now asking yourself who is that girl on her shirt? This also applies to logos.

A while back, I photographed Katy & Drew's engagement session at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. One of the backdrops we used was the St. John's Episcopal Church Ruins Well, that session led Chris to me even BEFORE he proposed to Callie!
Callie and Chris met in Hawaii (where Callie now lives), but they have spent much of their relationship apart since Chris was stationed in Georgia. Ever since the possibility of becoming engaged, Callie wanted to have the engagement shoot in front of church ruins. This lead to asking around, lots of google searching, the proposal, and finally the shoot!
