What to wear for family photos...

Neutrals are Timeless

• Tans, cream, light blue, or even muted red/yellows look great any season and work with many different locations.

• Think about the setting you’re likely to be in (greens may not stand out in grassy locations; dark or bright colors may work well in urban or with stone/concrete backgrounds).

• Bright colors near the face and neon can cast color onto the skin.

Create Interest, and Choose patterns carefully 

• Add texture when possible (eyelet details, stitching, layered looks).

• Limit one person in the group to wearing a bold pattern. 

• More people can wear a muted pattern (such as a small floral or stripe).

Think about how pieces work as a whole

• Use variety in light and dark items. Use denim sparingly- but chambray and lighter denim tops can be a coordinating option.

• Think about coordinating pieces vs. matching exactly (complimentary or adjacent colors on the color wheel).

Add pieces which allow Lighting and Movement interest

• Pieces that allow light to pass through (i.e. sheer or lace) and skirts which move can add dimension to your photos.

Keep comfort in mind!

• Being able to sit on the ground and walk on various terrain increases the versatility of the shots that can be taken.
