KID’S PORTFOLIO STYLING
IMPORTANT STUFF FIRST:
Clothes MUST be on trend.
Clothes SHOULD be new.
WARDROBE
Put together 2-3 outfits for each of the styles you’re planning to shoot then we’ll narrow it down to the one that works best.
Keep the tags on all the outfits you buy so you can return what we don’t use.
Lifestyle/Casual: upscale school or everyday wear
Athleisure: weekend wear that’s a mix of athletic pieces and jeans, shorts, Vans, etc.
Dressy: party wear with muted organic colors and clean lines (avoid frills, tulle, sparkles, pastels and unicorns)

NO graphic T-shirts, full neon clothing (accents are OK) or large logos of any kind
ACCESSORIES
