What to Wear

So you have a family session coming up and you‘re obsessing about what everybody is going to wear? Lucky for you I decided to gather some specific clothing ideas right here on the little blog!
Choose clothes that allow you and your family to be the star of the photos. You do not have to match, but you should coordinate. Think about “Color Families” like jewel tones or nature tones, or a monotone palette such as varying shades of blue (navy, aqua, pale, royal) paired with a neutral chocolate brown. Let the individual personalities speak subtly in the clothing using layers and textures, but try to avoid being overly trendy. Remember, something classic will look great for much longer that something trendy.
Another thing to consider is where you will hang this portrait and where the photo will be taken. If you plan to put the portrait in a living room decorated in pastels, then olive-y, nature tones wouldn’t be the best choice for clothing. And finally, if for example, the photo will be taken in the outdoors in the changing fall leaves, then patterns, florals, pinks and yellows really need to be avoided.
Most importantly, wear something you can be yourself in during the session because we’re gonna have fun!
