What to Wear for Your Family Photos
When it comes to your family photography session, choosing the right outfits can make all the difference. When deciding what to wear I always recommend going with neutrals and earth tones, avoiding busy patterns or images, and wearing coordinating shades. Keep reading to see why I recommend this for all my clients!
Earth tones such as gentle shades of brown, green, tan, white, or even some soft pinks create a natural and organic vibe that complements the environment. These colors blend so well with nature and will make your photographs feel warm and inviting. They even help to bring out the natural beauty of your surroundings. Plus earth tones and neutrals will result in the best complexion for photos, where brighter and bolder shades can cause your skin to look too red, too pale, etc. I always recommend avoiding busy patterns and bold prints as they can be distracting and take the focus away from the emotions and connections you want to capture in your family photos. Instead, opt for simple and subtle patterns or textures that add a fun quality without being too overwhelming.
Coordinating the shades and color tones of your outfits is a great way to create a cohesive look without everyone wearing identical clothes. By choosing colors that complement each other, you can achieve a visually pleasing result that showcases your family’s unity and connection. Remember, the goal is not to match perfectly but rather to create a sense of harmony. Mix and match colors within the same color palette, and feel free to add subtle pops of color or individual touches to express each family member’s personality.
My aim during our time together is to capture candid and emotion-filled moments. I want to portray your family as you truly are – relaxed, happy, and full of love. By wearing earth tones and minimizing patterns, we can create a visual narrative that perfectly aligns with these concepts.
I hope you found these guidelines helpful as you are deciding what to wear for your family session! With these tips in mind, we’ll work together to create timeless and heartfelt photographs that you will cherish for years to come.
