This just in! Get the latest fashions for your Easter shoot. Hop on over to LifeXpressions for your next photo session and we will have Egg-stra fun photographing your adorable kids for Easter.

Holidays can sometimes be a big deal for photos. And the pressure is on to decide exactly which outfit you will like best in a photo. Just your luck, I always take the time with you to look at your wardrobe selections and an outfit change or two might just be “egg-sactly” what we need to get a smile. To make sure your little ones are stylish head to toe here are some ideas that can give you  a “beachy” look, a “fancy” look, or the “funny bunny” look. Each style might create a new mood, a special smile or sweet glance.

For your look that makes you remember those sunny and carefree days at the beach hunting for seashells, catching a wave or building a sand castle try a bathing suit. I know it sounds simple, but so many people dress up for a beach sessions and yet a bathing suit may be the very best outfit for your little ones. Try swimsuits for both boys and girls from brand Floatimini. You will be pleanstly suprised at how adorable these suits look on the beach.

It is always sweet to capture your bathing beauties in something special like a frilly dress or a tie. I love the look of a soft pink tulle dress for your girl from Luna Luna Copenhagen or a shortall from Petit Ami at Best Dressed Child for your boy. They will look so cute hunting for eggs or just simply carrying an Easter basket collecting sea shells on the beach.

Newsflash! You don’t have to be serious in every picture. Some of my biggest and most adorable smiles often happen in exactly the outfit you didn’t plan on photographing your child in! A “funny bunny”  or “little chick “might be just what you need!  Put your funny bunny costume on your girl, she will love the little tail and fluffy ears. This outfit can be found at Tutu Couture. Or on either child get silly with a chick costume from Chasing Fireflies. Don’t forget the Easter baskets for these outfits.

You can make up your own themes for your Easter session, these are just a few fun ideas. I can’t wait to see all the Egg-stra special outfits you will choose!

Fashion is all about liveliness and color, so I am loving dip dyed clothes these days! Clothes that have been dip dyed remind me of the ocean. I often think how beautiful a family coordinated in pieces of dip dyed clothing will look with the ocean as the background. So I found a few pieces that I love right now that are soft, trendy and will look great for your next LifeXpressions session.

For mom try this crystal blue dip dye dress from Banana Republic . It is an easy dress that can be worn again for an afternoon lunch or an evening out. I love the model’s shoes, also from Banana Republic, because they are a great color that will  make anyone’s legs look longer.  This look doesn’t even need any jewelry because the dress is fabulous on its own. Put on some make-up and air dry your hair for a great beach look.

Let dad coordinate with the orange/pink color in mom’s dress when he dresses. An easy polo from JcPenny will work and  if he never wears again you will have only spent $20! Dad should coordinate the polo with navy long shorts or dark jeans rolled at the ankle. There are lots of Dip Dye polos on the market, choose one that coordinates with the colors that your family will be wearing for their photo.

A young girl will love this frilly lace dress from Gap. It isn’t dip dyed but don’t go overboard with the trend. She will be simple in this dress. So spice up her outfit with a straw hat. You can even search on You tube, I am sure there is a dip dye instructional video out there and you could add a bit of color to the straw hat using your new “craft!”  Be sure to leave your little girl barefoot for the photo so her carefree style will shine through in the photos.

Your little man will love an oxford with the sleeves rolled up and these comfy beach pants from Janie and Jack. You can coordinate a white top or tee with the pants if you don’t think “pink” will be his style. I love these little brown flips from Janie and Jack as well. But barefoot is just as cute.

If you have an older daughter or a mom that just doesn’t want to wear a dress. I found this tunic on a site called This Next. Tunics are a great look for anyone. Especially all the colors in this top it will be flattering on anyone.

Remember don’t “over do it” with the dip dye fashion trend, but have fun with it too. I can’t wait to see all your beautiful fashion trends for your next LifeXpressions session.

There are just some days when we can’t help it…you just want to be all “dolled up” and so-girly.  So for your next photo session wouldn’t it be fun to get your little one looking vintage and sweet!

Check out this clothing line called Dollcake. It is simply adorable. Dollcake features an oh-so-girly array of stunning fashion-wear for babies to 8 year old girls. The clothes, designed in Australia, have a vintage inspired look with lots of embellishments and rose accessories. This look will offer such an elegant touch to your photos. Every piece is as unique as your little one. And of course oh-so-girly.

You can find the best selection of designs at dollcake.com.au or littleposhprincess.com. These outfits work perfectly in studio or on location. See the images in this post and how they show so many different and fun personalities. I can see your little girls dressed up in these outfits and know they would show me all their inner and outer beauty! All captured for you in your photos.

These outfits would look perfect for a Valentine’s Day or Easter card. I can’t wait to photograph my first Oh-so-girly Dollcake!
