Decoding Family Photo Fashion: What to Wear for Your Next Session
Capturing timeless memories with your loved ones through family photos is a cherished tradition. As you prepare for your upcoming session, it's natural to wonder what to wear to ensure your portraits turn out picture-perfect. Here are some tips to help you dress your best for your family photos.
Coordinate, Don't Match: Gone are the days of everyone wearing identical outfits. Instead, opt for coordinating colors and patterns that complement each other. Choose a color palette that suits your family's style and personality, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and confident.
Pro Tip: choose an outfit that you will feel the most confident and beautiful in first, and then work to find coordinating outfits for the rest of the group. This way you get to wear something you know you’ll enjoy.
Consider Your Location: Whether you're planning an outdoor shoot amidst Boise's scenic beauty or opting for a studio session, consider the backdrop when selecting your outfits. Earthy tones work well for outdoor settings, while bold colors can pop against a neutral studio backdrop.
Pro Tip: when you book with Macey Snelson Photography, we’ll work on this together. Once your session is booked and the deposit is paid, we'll have a consultation to plan your portrait session. Based on your preferences and goals, I'll offer outfit recommendations and suggest suitable locations or background colors to ensure you feel confident and prepared.
Dress for the Season: Boise experiences four distinct seasons, so dress accordingly to match the weather and the season's vibe. This means embracing coats and scarves for Winter and lightweight clothing in Summer. Layering is key for cooler months, adding depth and visual interest to your outfits. In warmer weather, lightweight fabrics and breathable materials keep everyone comfortable.
Embrace Texture and Accessories: Adding texture through layers, scarves, hats, or statement jewelry can elevate your family's look. Accessories not only add personality but also provide visual interest to your photos.
Keep it Timeless: While trendy outfits can be fun, timeless pieces stand the test of time. Opt for classic styles and silhouettes that won't look dated in years to come, ensuring your family photos remain timeless treasures.
By following these tips, you'll be ready to rock your family photo session with confidence. Remember, I’m here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring your family photos capture the love and connection you share. Schedule your session today and create memories to cherish for a lifetime.
