General tips:

  • All family pictures look better with coordinated clothing. Although matching outfits do look nice, they are not a neccesity. Clothing themes or coordinated colors work just as well.

  • Additionally, solid colors almost always look better than patterned or "busy" clothing.

  • White is not recomended especially when worn with dark colors or in front of a dark backdrop.


Seasonal tips:

Winter

  • Light colors such as cream, light pink, light brown, and even grey create that "dreamy" winter wonderland look.

  • If possible, try not to wear gloves or mittens unless they work with your chosen color scheme.

Spring

  • Spring is a very colorful time of year, your photoshoot wardrobe should reflect that.

  • Stark, bold colors such as deep blues, bright pinks, mustard yellows, or purples look stunning against bright and flowered backgrounds.

Summer

  • Summer is often hot and stuffy, wich is why clothes that are light and airy look and feel splendid.

  • Some popular options are soft greys, creams, whites, soft blues, and soft pinks. Navy blues, denims and darker greys also work well.

Fall

  • In fall shoots, you want your family's wardrobe to compliment the gorgeous colors that are all around.

  • Some fabulous color choices include greys, maroons, mustard yellows, browns, rusty oranges, forest greens, eggplant purples, or even deep blues.
