109. The Art of Styling Your Family Photography Clients with Whitney Ford

It's important to acknowledge that the outfits our photography clients wear can significantly impact a photo shoot. The clothes they wear and the colors of those clothes should ideally complement your style as a photographer, your location, and your editing style. Whitney Irene Ford assists photographers and their clients by providing styling services to ensure the best outcomes. Offering styling services to your clients and their families is essential for creating beautiful photographs that will help you stand out online.

Here’s where we dive in:

• Start with the mom and work from there 
• Consideration for kids with texture issues
• Ask your clients where they shop

Whitney Ford is the Stylist behind Styled By W.I. - specializing in family photography styling, in addition to styling couples, newborn sessions and seniors. Mama of 3 little ones, who met her husband on a blind date and they reside in Mesa, Arizona. A California native who grew up in the photography industry since (before) birth, her parents were international models turned photographer & make-up artist, so it’s safe to say Whitney is no stranger to the photography world. 

Prior to styling families Whitney worked in the digital marketing space as a social media and brand manager for business across the country, from small cafés to Fortune 500 companies. Her first job out of college was what she would say a “dream job” working in the Brand Management department for a shoe designer in Los Angeles, which laid a lot of the groundwork for understanding the fashion world. 

Her passion for styling is rooted in the desire for people to prioritize having these special seasons of life documented, and loving the outcome, which starts with loving what you’re wearing.
