I need some help figuring out what outfit to put Abby in for school pics. They are next week so I've got to get a move on. Here's the ones I've tried on her (they were right after her bath so she looks a bit fuzzy headed)

Baby Lulu Dress (it has matching tights)

Naartjie Dress

I voted for Whale Watching. It's got simple, clean lines, so the eye will focus on her beautiful face, not on the clothing.

After Whale Watching, my next fave was the Naartjie outfit. :)

My first choice would be Romantic Garden. I just love those colors and she looks great w/ it! :up: Second would be whale watching. :)

I voted WW set too! I also like the My Best Friend set a lot, followed by the Naartjie Dress

I'm figuring these pics will be from the waist up?

I voted for the Puppy Love outfit. Nice and simple. The focus is on her darling face. :) My second choice would be the whale watching outfit.

Good luck in choosing!

The pictures actually won't be just from the waist up, they will be full body shots, either sitting or standing.

I vote for Puppy Love!

It's simple, it's fallish, it's schoolish.

Lauryn just had her pictures done yesterday and I put her in the CAAB cord jumper dress and a collared top. All the girls were pretty much in the same-type outfit.

The photographer encourages solid colors. No stripes or prints (although I really like that Naartjie dress too- but it's more a Picture People type photo in a plain background)

I loved for puppy love. My second choice would be the WW outfit.

I think the WW outfit is SUPER cute for school pictures!!!

My first vote is for Puppy Love :) since I adore that shirt

Second is for the Whale Watching

Third is MBF

I think more simple fabrics work better for pictures.

I would pick the WW outfit. The rule of thumb for the best pics is to wear solid colors - patterns detract attention from the subject! :nod:

WW, followed by PL. I prefer the simple fabrics, unless you know you're going to have a stark white background like picture people.

I voted for Whale Watching, but now knowing it's full body I'd probably change to the Puppy Love outfit. ALL CUTE OUTFITS THOUGH!

Bev

I like WW then MBFriend then PLove. :)

Thanks for all of the opinions guys, WW and the PL were my leaning. Last year's background was hideous!! And they didn't take any time making sure she was posed nicely so I'm going this year. This is what they had last year and they're using the same photographer (who stinks!!)

if you do WW, I'd wear the white tights.

WW with white tights, second choice being Puppy Love. All the outfits (and the girls of course) are adorable, though!

I voted for MBF, but it was tied with WW.

I like them all, but I think I like naartijie the best. School pictures are usually just head and shoulder shots so I wouldn't worry about tights...if it's cool out put her in them, if not leave them off.

Ok, I just saw your last years photo...I guess it's not a head and shoulder shot...sorry. I think I'd change my mind to the MBF outfit then.
