Monday's Faves

Obviously, you don't have to have a quilt at your photo sessions. But, I can't remember the last time I didn't. Beyond making sure your clients don't have to sit on the dirty ground, they are the perfect prop without being "proppy" (yes, I just made up that word). They can add some extra color and contrast to any photo. And, their pratical uses are just as important. You clients are in their finest clothes, so don't make them get those clothes dirty. 

These are three quilts I would take with me if I had a photo session today. They are full of different colors, so they are sure to match whatever my client showed up wearing. 

These quilts are still available in the shop (as of 8AM, 10/9/17).

Churn Dash Quilt - $115

This cozy quilt is perfect for outdoor photo sessions. It is full of different colors and has deeper colors that will add more contrast to photos.

Patchwork Quilt - $80

This quilt is perfect for photo sessions because of its varying colors throughout. These floral fabrics are full of blues and greens, the perfect colors to match your client's outfits. It is a favorite of mine and a definite go-to for me!

Churn Dash Quilt - $70

This larger quilt is full of bright and vibrant colors. I love the shade of green in this quilt. This would also be a fun quilt to use for Christmas sessions since it is full of green and red.

Shout Out | Brooke Musial Photography

Quilts were made for mommy and me sessions. These photos from Brooke Musial Photography are perfect, full of love, and make me want a daughter. These are photos that this sweet girl will always cherish, forever. 

Brooke chose a stunning location during magic hour and used her Stitched and Found quilt as the perfect layer for some momma snuggles. Quilts don't have to be the focal point of a session, they don't need to be. The people you are shooting should be the main focus. But, goodness, they add the perfect bit of texture to photos.

Monday's Faves

There are many opinions on the best quilts for photo sessions. A lot of this comes down to the look and feel you are going for. If you shoot more bright and airy, quilts with more white may be best. If you are a moodier shooter, then quilts with less bright and happy colors might be best.

But, for me, these quilts will always work when I show up to a photo session. I always lean towards quilts with a variety of colors. I don't always know what my client will show up wearing, so it is helpful to have every color available. I also always grab quilts with a lot of blues and darker tones. Blue always matches outfits well and darker tones add contrast to my photos. 

Also, I had a photo session this past Friday evening and took all three of these with me! These are all still available in the shop (as of 8AM CST 10/2).

Signature Quilt - $185

This stunning quilt is in excellent condition. I love the bright, vibrant colors. I chose this quilt because of its varying colors, along with a lot of green and blue. This quilt will easily match different outfit choices that your client shows up wearing.

Churn Dash Quilt - $115

This lovely quilt is also in great condition. It has a variety of colors, with bits of deeper colors. I have found that quilts with these deeper colors show up extra well for photos. I also have a thing for floral fabrics.

Patchwork Quilt - $85

This quilt is full of deeper colors. I always grab quilts with these varying contrast colors. These dark colors pop in your photos and add another element of depth and contrast.
