What to Wear for Your Family Portrait Session

Are you not sure what to wear for your session, then this information might help you. I am so excited that you’re going to have great portraits of your family hanging in your home, the right clothing will make the photos memorable and stunning. Here are some thoughts on a few general tips about what to wear for your family portrait session.

Things to Watch Out for:

Large words or large logos
Obvious trends
Guys – don’t where dark pants with white socks
Ladies avoid horizontal stripes.
Avoid popular trends – these can easily date your photos
Large prints like Hawaiian prints
Thin pinstripes

Ideas on things that can help:

Ladies – V neck/ scoop necklines and dark colors can be slimming. Long sleeves or 3/4 sleeves look good.
Coordinate and/or complement (not “matchy” {if that is a real word}) Pick a few color pops to coordinate between all subjects… Chose colors that blend together. Most likely you and your family do not all dress alike so there is no need to for your portraits.
