What to Wear to Your Family Photo Session: A Photographer's Guide

April 17th, 2024

Hey there, lovely people! So, you've booked a family photo session with us, and you're probably wondering, 'What should we wear?' I totally get it, it's a big question! But don't worry, we've got you covered. Let's dive right into it.

 

First off, think neutral colors. Soft hues like beige, light colors, and grays are a great choice. These shades allow the focus to be on your family's beautiful faces and radiant smiles rather than loud, distracting patterns or colors.

 

Next, you'll want to consider complimenting colors. This doesn't mean everyone needs to be in matchy-matchy outfits. Instead, select colors that work well together. For instance, if one family member is wearing a light green shirt, another might choose a dark green dress, keeping within the same color family.

 

Also, think about the type of location and the natural colors there! If your location is the Scott Fountain on Belle Isle, you have flexibility. But if we are shooting on a bright red bridge, some colors might clash. You can never go wrong with neutrals!

 

Now, we can't forget about the weather. If it's scheduled for a chilly day, make sure to dress warmly. You don't want to look cold in your photos! On the flip side, if it's a summer shoot, dress in breathable fabrics to stay cool. Trust me, a sweaty family is not the most photogenic!

 

Finally, consider wearing layers. Not only does this provide you with options if the weather changes, but it also adds depth and dimension to your photos. Think cardigans, vests, or chunky scarves in the cooler months.

 

Remember, these are just suggestions. The most important thing is that you're comfortable and feel like your best selves. After all, we're here to capture your family's unique dynamic and personality. So here's to creating beautiful memories together, one snapshot at a time!
