As you are beginning to book your spring portrait sessions, I wanted to share some family session outfit inspiration with you! (All of these wardrobe pieces are from Amazon and are linked below, but you can create a similar look by browsing through your own closet or shopping at your favorite department store.)
When it comes to investing in a portrait session, keep this in mind: There’s no such thing as too dressed up!
When choosing colors for your outfits, I recommend selecting softer, lighter tones and more muted shades. By avoiding ultra-bright, bold colors, it will help bring all the attention to your faces and let the eye focus on the way you feel about each other. The camera loves shades of soft pink and muted blues, mixed with sophisticated light neutrals like heather gray, creams, leather brown and white. That softer color palette fits beautifully into almost all natural outdoor environments, and especially complements the open fields in Texas!
As you’re coordinating your outfits with your family, keep in mind that your outfits will look the most cohesive on camera when the color palette and wardrobe pieces coordinate, but don’t actually “match.” In fact, I recommend that you avoid thinking about “matching,” and instead think about what “fits” together. This will create more visual interest, and allow each personality to shine through.
Remember: There is no such thing as “too dressed up” when it comes to your portrait session, so don’t be afraid to have some fun!
