DC/Grandmother Photoshoot questions

My 19 month old twins are having their very first professional Photoshoot with my mom for Mother's Day. My mom is very sick and I want my kids to treasure this photo forever.

Any particular colors that look better on camera?

Should I coordinate outfits? If so, what are some ideas you would wear on B/g twins.

Should I bring toys with me to entertain them?

Do I need to bring my own props?

I'm so nervous. I just want everything to be perfect, but with my twins that are all over the place I'm thinking it's going to be a little crazy.

I can't comment on colors because I'm clueless. But with my b/g twins I usually pick out a dress for my dd. if it is a print I take one of the colors and have my ds wear that color polo. If its solid I get a print shirt for ds (maybe a plaid button down) with that color in it. But like I said I'm clueless when it comes to fashion!

Chat Icon to you--I know this has to be hard and I get you wanting a great shoot--no matter what, it is going to be beautiful! :)

I like what the pp wrote--and I even would see if your mom can coordinate with them too!Chat Icon also, I would def. do cheery colors--not white or dark!
Where will the photoshoot be?

ETS: the photographer should have props but you can bbring anything you feel is special or want photographed, etc.

Re: DC/Grandmother Photoshoot questions

Just find one dress/shirt you really like and build from there. I am doings shoot on Friday of my two DS and my 14 year old niece to give my mom for Mothers Day. I saw a plaid shirt and I was really drawn to the colors. I pulled the mint green and got my younger DS a 3/4 sleeve sweater. Then I pulled the coral color for my niece. I couldn't find any shirts I liked, so I got her coral skinny jeans and she'll wear a white tank top and jean jacket. You can always get your mom and nice scarf to match the kids.

Re: DC/Grandmother Photoshoot questions

The photog should be able to tell you about props they have. As for toys, I don't recommend showing them anything that you don't want in the photos. As you know kids have one track minds. show them a cell phone and thats all they want for the rest of the shoot lol. Pick a dress for your DD then pull a solid color for your DS. (vest, button up, jeans, etc.) They will probably be fine just hanging out with your mom. Chat Icon I think it's great that you are doing this!

What a wonderful idea. You should also take a picture with the 4 of you.
We often take pics at Penney's & I would say bring props if you have an idea or suggestion....You can also ask wherever you are going what they have ahead of time.
