What to wear for family portrait sessions...

8/18/2022

0 Comments

 
Deciding what to wear for family photo outfits can be challenging! These are photos you are going to hang on your walls and cherish for years to come. It can seem overwhelming, especially when you're planning for the entire family, but it doesn’t need to be. ​

Below are a few tips!

Coordinate colors (don't match)
Allow personalities to shine with color and patterns. Pick a couple of colors and choose cloths that fit within this color scheme. 

Accessories and Layering
Regardless of the weather, consider laying scarfs, jackets, hats, etc. Accessories not only add to your outfit but they can be fun in the photos too. Necklaces are fun for kids to play with or hats to hide behind always create some laughter. 

Consider the backdrop
Are we shooting at the beach? A wooded area? or maybe in a lush green area of Balboas Park? Regardless think about the surroundings you'll be in. 

Things to avoid:
- Too many patterns (aim to have just 1-2 members have patterns)
- Logos and Characters (we all love Toy Story, but let Buzz stay home this time.)

Remember the idea is not to create these perfect photos. Family photos are a time to capture who your family is at that time.
