As a Winston-Salem family photographer, I know that one of the biggest stressors for parents when planning a photo session is choosing the right outfits. What colors will photograph best? Should the kids match? How can we coordinate without feeling too staged? That’s why I’ve partnered with Bella + James, a beloved Winston-Salem children’s boutique, to make outfit selection effortless and fun!
Introducing The Curated Closet,
a handpicked collection of stylish, high-quality pieces designed to photograph beautifully. Whether you’re planning a family session, a milestone shoot, or a newborn session, these thoughtfully selected outfits will help you create timeless images while taking the guesswork out of wardrobe planning.
The Heart Behind The Curated Closet
As a photographer, I’m always drawn to natural, playful interactions—those little in-between moments that truly capture the spirit of childhood. Clothing plays a huge role in bringing that vision to life. Flowy fabrics, soft textures, and neutral or muted colors allow your child’s personality to shine without distraction. Bella + James shares this same passion for childhood joy, curating clothing that is not only stylish but also comfortable and practical for everyday adventures. This collaboration was born out of a shared desire to serve families, making it easier to pick out pieces that not only look amazing in photos but also reflect the fun, carefree nature of childhood.
