As photographers we are constantly asked how to prepare for family pictures.
How to Pick Outfits for Family Pictures
This is the first thing most people ask about when they starting thinking about preparing for family pictures. Picking outfits can be stressful if you’re not sure what you should be looking for to get a cohesive look.
Step 1: Use Your Home Decor as a Guide
Picking outfits can be so hard, but let me break it down for you.
First, look around at your home. These pictures are going to be hanging in your front room. Picking a style, colors and textures that fit in with your home decor is a great place to start.
If your living room is neutral colors, you may want to consider neutral outfits with a few little pops of color at most. If your living room is bright, fun colors then your outfits can match.
It doesn’t matter what style or colors you choose, we can make everything look amazing. The most important thing is finding colors and a style that fit what is already going on in your home.
Step 2: Shop From Your Closet
It’s always fun to go out and buy new clothes, but not always necessary. If you really want to book family photos but don’t have the budget to buy new clothes and pay for a session this will be your best bet.
Think about that first step and what colors you would like to use to tie into your decor. The good news is that people are usually drawn to the same colors for their clothing and decor. There is a good chance that if you find it in your home you will also find it in your closet.
Simply go through the closet and drawers of each person in your family and pull everything you like in the correct color scheme. Then bring them all into the same room and pick something that goes well together for each person in the family!
