Ready to plan out your outfits for your family session?
Gone are the days of "Everyone wears white shirts + khakis, ” or “Everyone wears black shirts + jeans”. I know when organizing a group (especially if it is a large multi-family portrait session) this seems like the easy way, but just don't. I promise you will love your images so much more if you coordinate rather than match.
step two
Do not match
Pick 3 or 4 colors that look good together + start from there! Remember: the colors you choose should also take into consideration your own personal style, as well as the location of your portrait session. FYI: Pinterest will be your best friend when it comes to all things color palettes!
Pick a color palette
step one
If you like color... bring it! Add those pops of color! If you like a neutral color palette, embrace it! I always suggest using the color you want to see hanging in your home. If your home is bright with pops of color... then I say go for it!!
step four
Be true to you
Necklaces, hats, bracelets, belts, etc… all can add a pop of color + interest without taking away from the people in the photos, as well as the overall feeling of the images. They help you express yourself!
Accessorize
step three
Have fun.
and most importantly
No need to worry about whether or not your children are smiling! The more relaxed you are, the more relaxed your children will be. This will show in your photos! The fun, happy family you have. Captured forever for you to cherish.
