What to Wear at your Family photo Session
As your family photo session approaches, you might be thinking about what to wear. Below are a few tips to help you better prepare for your family photo session:
What to Wear at a Family Photo Session - Tip #1
Try to coordinate outfits without looking overly “matchy.” Avoid wearing the same colors and instead, find a color palette you love and piece together items from that palette that are complementary to one another.

Avoid white, black, and neon/fluorescent colors. Tans and cream colors work better than white.

Add accessories to pump up an ensemble. A hat, scarf, and boho necklace can give any outfit the right amount of punch and provide great pops of color. Bright hues in small doses are great!

Layers are fantastic for boys and for girls. Add in the layers (jackets, vests, leggings, and tights) and accessories (hats, scarves, necktie or bow ties, and headbands) to give your kids’ outfits that stylized look.
