When your family photography session is coming up, a most common question is WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR? My best advice is to choose a palette of colors and work within those hues. You want to coordinate but not match exactly. You can add pops of color here and there to make the look more interesting. Choose clothes that fit well for each family member’s body type. Solid shirts or simple, clean patterns work best. Different fabrics can add texture. Avoid big, bold patterns and logos. Accessories such as jackets, cardigan sweaters, scarfs, and jewelry can be added to personalize an outfit.
Beach Session: The beach is a casual place, so dress casually! Jeans or khaki pants, a flowy skirt, shorts, a summery sweater, bare feet, sandals, or flipflops will all work. I think “summer” or “spring” colors look best, for example, tans, whites, pink, blue, peach, coral, and gray.
Woods Session: For a woodsy look, think “fall”. You want to match the environment of the woods. This is a great time for earthy tones such as greens, browns, rusty orange, golden yellow, tan. You can still add in a pop of a brighter color through your accessories. It’s a great time for hats, boots, belts, etc.
Most importantly you want to feel natural and comfortable in your clothes! Here are examples of some great styling!
