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 which 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 our native Texas landscape.
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.
Below are outfit groupings that will absolutely elevate your finished family photos. Each grouping comes with links (in the photo description) so you can purchase online (or look for something similar in your closet or even on Amazon).
