WHAT TO WEAR

Wardrobe is so important for successful family photos.  The right clothes not only elevate the look of your photos, but will make you comfortable and your session run more smoothly.

COLORS: Choose deep, earthy, or muted tones instead of primary or neon colors.  Make sure there are some neutrals mixed in so the colors aren't too overwhelming, especially if you're choosing a location with lots of green.  Cream and beige photograph better than pure white, and try to avoid having everyone in all dark colors-- it will draw light away from your faces.  Patterns like small florals or gingham look great.

FABRICS: Movement and texture are your friend, so keep that in mind while choosing clothes!  Stiff fabrics tend to bunch up during photos; your clothes should be comfortable enough for lots of walking!

Casual shoes, leather shoes, and sandals all look good; try to stay away from athletic/running shoes or brightly colored children's shoes.  I love when clients choose a more elevated version of the clothes they would normally wear and especially when they think about what colors and styles will complement the location they shoot in.
