What to Wear to your Family Session | Napa Family Photography

One thing most clients struggle with is choosing outfits for the whole family! I have put together five tips to hopefully take the stress out of dressing your fam for your session!

FIVE TIPS TO DRESSING THE ENTIRE FAMILY FOR A PHOTOSHOOT

  1. MOM—PICK WHAT YOU’RE WEARING FIRST! Choose something you love and feel beautiful and comfortable in! Then build the rest of the family outfits around what you’re wearing!

  2. SMART FOOTWEAR! Hey, I’m all about the cute heels, but keep in mind that we may be in a vineyard or on uneven ground, or it could have rained the day before (hello mud!)…either way, just be conscious about what footwear you choose—for yourself and your kids! I often have the kids run and play during the session! Of course, you are always welcome to bring two pairs of shoes to mix it up.

  3. STICK TO NEUTRALS! Neutrals blend together well—if someone is wearing a ultra bright color and everyone else is in neutral tones, they stick out and the eye is drawn to them in every photograph! You certainly don’t have to match…but my best advice is to blend :)

  4. NO LOGOS! Logos or any writing on your clothing is distracting and takes away from the connection and love that is being shared in your photographs!

  5. CHOOSE AHEAD OF TIME! Do the outfit picking a week or two ahead of time! The last thing you want is to realize someones shoes don’t fit, or a shirt is “too itchy”! Set yourself up for success and decide on everyones outfits with plenty of time to spare.
