With Spring family sessions just around the corner, I thought it would be the perfect time to share some of my favorite family photo outfit ideas. I always recommend selecting a color palette for your session. This will allow you to coordinate outfits with one another. Choose an item you love and feel great in, maybe a dress or a favorite top. Then, coordinate with each other using your consistent color palette. Your photos will look intentional and natural, without feeling “matchy”.
If you decide to purchase new items for your session, try them on and wear them around the house or out and about. Make sure you feel comfortable in them and you aren’t concerned about straps, see-through fabrics, or worrying about the fit. This will ensure you and your family are as comfortable as possible during the session!
The following color palettes and sample family photo outfit ideas provide a variety of options, with neutral base colors that look nice printed or displayed on a favorite gallery wall in your home.

Use These Family Photo Outfit Ideas in Your Session
I highly recommend families and couples schedule at least one formal portrait session every year, if not two or three. We all know the seasons of our life go by so fast. It’s important to document all of the precious memories with our loved ones. These sessions are personal and laid back, typically lasting 30-60 minutes. They are a great way to display updated prints in your home, add to a family album or print in holiday cards. I would be honored to document these memories for your family too!
