What should you never wear during a family shoot?

April 20, 2017

People tend to overthink things.

I know I do.

And I see it when I work with clients who are planning a photo session with their family.

Sometimes they show up wearing outfits that are the exact opposite of what we chatted out….I wonder, to myself….:

“What part of don’t wear loud, bold patterns….you’ll stand out, did they not understand?”

Example….one lady was wearing houndstooth. You know, that funky criss-crossy pattern in two colours.

Except hers was large. As in HUGE houndstooth. REALLY, REALLY big houndstooth. Scary.
Yet cool, in a high fashion sorta way.

Nothing wrong with houndstooth mind you. I dig that look.

But over sized, black on white, well, in a family portrait? Not….
Tends to look a little much. Don’t you agree?

When I called her on it, gently….She rationalized her choice:
“Well, there’s white, and there’s black. Both are solid colours. (as she pointed out the colours) The rest of the family is in black. I thought it would look nice.”

Nice…? Yes, if you want ALL the attention to go to you.

The key, as always, is harmony. Don’t overthink it.

I  show examples on our clothing tips page HERE.

Of course on fairy day, the outfits and clothing is not an issue, since we have ALL
the dresses, wings, headpieces and more….

On that matter, the next Fairy Day is but a few weeks away….Saturday, May 13th… Check it out.

Yours, in love and photography,

Rob, Tina and Danielle Provencher

High energy three year old….

April 10, 2013 By robprov 2 Comments

She just turned three. She walked in, was super open to me and we connected right away….. She would not stay put, not for a second. Very willful. Play the game and wait until something works. Later, she was running around, stopped, and went..”eewwww” to a piece of thread on the floor. Looked like a […]

I’ve always loved a well done, artistic and visually stunning classic studio portrait… It’s part of where I want to go with our photography. And one of our services that many of our clients appreciate….here’s a few examples from recent photography sessions…..enjoy:

Taking the bus to the market…

February 5, 2017 By robprov Leave a Comment

We often take the bus from Tamarindo to the nearest town, Villa Real, where they now have a permanent fruit and veggie market. The cost is 400 Colones….or, about one dollar…..Fast, reliable…and great value… Some pics from the market, where everything is locally grown and super fresh…
