How to dress for family portraits
When it comes to choosing outfits for a family portrait, it's important to consider a few things to ensure that everyone looks coordinated and polished in the final image. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
-
Choose a color scheme: Consider selecting a color palette that complements each other and works well with the background. Choose colors that look good together and avoid wearing too many patterns.
-
Coordinate but don't match: Instead of everyone wearing the same outfit, choose outfits that complement each other. This can be achieved by choosing colors from the same color family or by wearing outfits with similar styles.
-
Dress for the location and season: Consider the location and season of the photoshoot when choosing outfits. For example, if it's an outdoor shoot in the fall, consider wearing earthy tones and layers to stay warm and cozy.
-
Avoid logos or graphics: Logos or graphics on clothing can be distracting and take away from the focus of the photo, which is the family. Avoid wearing clothes with large logos, graphics, or slogans.
-
Consider the final product: Think about where you plan to display the family portrait and choose outfits that will look good in that context. For example, if you plan to hang the portrait in a room with a specific color scheme, choose outfits that will complement that color scheme.
Remember, the goal is to create a cohesive and timeless portrait that your family can cherish for years to come.
Trying to figure out what to wear for family portraits can honestly be overwhelming. I created a Pinterest board for inspiration, just because I know everyone has a different style, and different favorite colors, so there's a mix of styles and color palettes. This will be a growing board, as I update for different seasons and color trends.
