Family Portrait time!

It’s that time of year again where everyone is scheduling for holiday family sessions. When preparing for a family session, it can sometimes be difficult to decide what to wear besides white and jeans. Clients often ask us for advise on what to wear and how to coordinate outfits for the whole family.  Here are some inspiration and ideas on how you can perfectly coordinate a family outfit:

The first thing you should think about is a color scheme. Once you found what colors would be perfect, then start looking through your closet. Look for textures and patterns that pop. We don’t expect you to go out and purchase all new clothing for your session, although you can if you wish. We do offer assistance to help coordinate clothing options that you currently own. Just let us know and we will come over and help.

The next thing to conciser is comfort. It is very important that everyone wears something that they feel comfortable in. The whole purpose for a family session is to capture the individuality of each family member and have a great time.

In these examples, you will notice that there aren’t any outrageous, distracting patterns or logos that would take away from each family member. Each accessory or props used need to tie each outfit together to create the perfect style.

If you want to stay more neutral, adding patterns and textures can help amp the overall look. Adding a few accessories can finish the look and bring out a little personality.

I’ve learned from experience that most people do better with visual ideas. So if you need some additional ideas, let us know. You could also check out our Pinterest page for more ideas: http://www.pinterest.com/3dphotoaz/outfit-ideas/
