Choosing what to wear for family photos can be overwhelming, but with a few simple guidelines, you can create a cohesive and stylish look.
Listen now to hear about our great photography experience for your family. A photo podcast featuring our family photo business and clothing options of what to wear. Maybe we can capture your next family session.
Color Palette
Coordinate, don't match: Instead of everyone wearing the same color, choose a color palette. For example, shades of blue, or neutrals with pops of color.
Consider your surroundings: If you're shooting outdoors, consider the colors of nature. For example, soft pastels for spring, rich jewel tones for fall.
Avoid bright colors: While they may look great in person, bright colors can be overwhelming in photos and distract from the focus of the image.
Embrace textures: Incorporate different textures like lace, corduroy, knitwear, or linen to add visual interest.
Limit patterns: While small patterns can work, avoid large, busy patterns that can be distracting. If you want to include a pattern, consider limiting it to one person in the family.
Balance is key: If one person wears a bold pattern, the rest of the family should wear solid colors or simpler patterns.
Comfort is crucial: Choose clothing that you feel comfortable and confident in. You want to be able to relax and enjoy the experience.
Consider the occasion: The style of clothing should reflect the overall mood of the photos. For a casual outdoor shoot, jeans and sweaters might be appropriate, while a more formal indoor setting could call for dresses and slacks.
Pay attention to fit: Well-fitting clothes look best in photos. Avoid clothing that is too tight or too loose.
Accessorize wisely: Accessories like hats, scarves, and jewelry can add personality to your outfits. However, avoid overpowering accessories that might distract from your faces.
Layer your outfits: Layers can add depth and interest to your photos. Consider adding a cardigan, jacket, or scarf.
Think about footwear: While you may not be focusing on shoes in the photos, comfortable footwear is essential for a relaxed shoot.
Remember: The most important thing is to feel confident and happy in what you're wearing. Experiment with different looks and have fun with it!
