Dress Up!

Dressing up can totally change the direction of the shoot; it helps everyone to feel confident and on their best behavior. And, it's always fun to dress up a little, right?

Choose Mom's Outfit First

Because let's face it, family pictures are usually for mom, and mom needs to look good! No matter what, wear something that makes you feel empowered and beautiful! For me, that typically includes a dress and cute pair of shoes! After you choose mom's outfit, it will be easier to throw in other outfits to the pile that compliment.




Choose Your Colors

I typically suggest starting with the color of mom's outfit or an outfit that you love, then adding in other colors that compliment. It's best if your colors are muted versions of the original color. For example, if you love pink, try looking for peach or blush, orange becomes rust, yellow becomes mustard, red becomes burgundy and so on. Neutrals such as cream, off white, and black are also great colors to add into any color scheme.

Avoid Distracting Clothing

Crazy patterns, big logos, text, or bright or shiny colors can distract from your family in the images. Pattern is okay, as long as it's not crazy and/or overwhelming. In fact, it can add a lot of fun and texture to your image, just be careful that it isn't distracting.

Wear Clothes That Represent Your Personality

When choosing outfits for everyone, be sure that it is something that they feel comfortable in and that represents them. You want everyone in the picture to feel confident and like they can be themselves, all while looking nice!
