YOUR fall mini SESSION’S ALL BOOKED!

Preparing for your session…

Choosing what each family member is going to wear is the biggest thing to consider.

Here are some do’s and don’ts to help you find the right fit for everyone: 

1. Plan your outfits in advance. The more time you allow yourself to plan your outfits, the less stressed you’ll be. Plus, it never hurts to have options especially when you’re dressing your kids.

2. Consider your family’s style. If your family is more casual and dressing up is not your thing, choose casual and more comfortable clothing including shorts and stylish tennis shoes. If dressing up fits your style, then skirts and suits even in an outdoor setting can look very classy and beautiful. 

3. Choose coordinating colors, not matching. Start off with colors that coordinate well. You can accomplish a cohesive look without every family member wearing the exact same outfit. By selecting a color scheme and using hues that complement each other, you can achieve a more natural look across the board. Pick two main colors and then add softer tones to accent and complete your color scheme. Neutral colors to consider adding to your two main colors are gray, navy, tan, beige, cream.

4. Consider your home decor. You’ll want to consider your home decor style when picking out what to wear in family photos. Since a few of these photos will most likely be hanging in your home and on display for a long time, make sure that the clothing you select blends in seamlessly with the color scheme of your home.

5. Keep location in mind. Another helpful item to consider when trying to decide what to wear in your family photos is the location of your photoshoot. Are you going to be on the beach where there are plenty of neutral tones or under a tree surrounded by bright fall foliage? Select a color palette for your outfits that will complement the setting. Pick out items of clothing in colors that will complement your background and not compete with it.

6. Use the season to help select color schemes for your outfits. Each season is associated with different colors which is something to consider when picking out what everyone will be wearing.

7. Limit large logos, graphic tees and character clothing. Articles of clothing with multiple patterns or large logos can become a distraction. Stick with subtle prints and textures and you’ll be golden. 

8. Layout the outfits. Lay each family member’s outfit together while planning so you can get a good idea about how the pieces will look next to each other. This will allow you a better idea of what works and what doesn’t. Plus, this way, you can make sure that you’re not missing any essential clothing items.

9. Have fun playing stylist and let your family’s personality shine.
