In the same way, a baby in a white dress on a white bedspread works less well than a lightly coloured outfit, perhaps in a pastel shade, which will give a lighter, neutral tone and stand out beautifully. Classic styles never go out of fashion and so are a good choice for what to wear on your family photo shoot. I always recommend you try on your outfit before the day.
For adults this means checking that you can squat, sit on the ground and move around easily. Active little girls in dresses do tend to show their knickers as they cartwheel through their day so you might want to put tights or leggings under their dresses. Then on the day, one of the benefits of starting most of my photo shoots in your home is that I can always advise when I arrive.
You can have some options laid out and then it will take a matter of moments to decide. Heavier fabrics tend to hang better, very light t-shirts for example can cling whereas classic cuts will always look good. And down jackets do add a couple of inches, so a tailored jacket or coat looks better.
If you can, put wallets and phones in a small bag or I can carry them for you which will look better in your pictures. This is true for photo shoots too.
Dress for the weather we have not the weather you want. Darker, practical colours work better when choosing what to wear fo your family photo shoot. An urban setting can work really well for more formal pictures but wearing smart clothes in wild woodland can feel out of place. The same applies indoors. If you have a formal drawing room this could be a good spot for some more formal pictures.
I also love the juxtaposition of very relaxed shots in a formal space which is often a lovely setting for kids in fancy dress. Equally, a messy playroom might work better with relaxed clothing choices than anything too smart. Also, unless your children are very used to wearing them, then flipflops and sandals can be a problem with stones getting under their feet.
And your feet will feature in some of the pictures so also bear that in mind when selecting your footwear. If you normally wear glasses, then do wear them for your photo shoot. And if your child usually wears glasses that applies to them too. The only thing that can be difficult is if you have special lenses which go dark in the sun. It can cast bright spots onto faces in certain light, or look blue rather than white. Off-white and cream are great, though, and also white lace is fine because it has so much texture.
Always add in some neutrals like cream, brown and gray. Choosing too much color and not enough neutrals is a mistake. For example, do NOT have everyone wear different shades of purple and yellow. Example below:. Even that tiny Nike logo in the top corner of your t-shirt is going to draw the eye there rather than the subject of the photo… your family! The reason is that their diaper is probably going to end up showing.
You can definitely get some cute bloomers but there is something else to consider. My images are all about connection so I want to see your arms wrapped around your little girl, not a floating baby. Put her in a romper! Or a cute top with cable-knit tights and ruffle-butt bloomers over them. Or adorable baby bell-bottoms and a top.
Something without a skirt. There are lots of super cute options out there! Check for the small things that sometimes go overlooked: -Scrunchies and hair-ties on wrists -Food in teeth or on kids faces -Watches that are too modern they just really stand out and date your photos -Phones or keys in pockets or anything, really.
Empty those pockets! Infuse your own personalities into your outfits if you can. If your daughter loves twirly dresses then put her in one, but if she hates them, go for some bell bottoms with a knotted tee or a romper. If your little boy is obsessed with the color orange, find a way to incorporate that into his outfit.
So next time you are asking yourself what to wear to your family photo session, remember to put some of your own style into it!
