What to Wear for Family Photos—Tips

Start with Mom! Mom is the most important. She holds the family together, so her outfit should pull the family together. If you can figure out mama’s clothes then everyone else can be based off of her. 

Avoid matching. You can coordinate...or not! You’re a family of individuals so I love when I can see the personality of each person in the photos. 

Wear what makes you feel comfortable.

Photographer’s Preferences

Dresses or skirts that move with the breeze. Give an emotional element to photos vs pants.

Darker shoes for dad.

Small or zero jewelry so as not to distract or date the photo (rings ok)

Hair loose to move naturally with the breeze.
