Preparing for Your Family's Professional Photo Shoot: The Perfect Outfits
Spring is the season for a fresh start, and what better way to celebrate this than with a beautiful family photo shoot. As a luxury photographer at mQn Photography, I know that preparation is key, and the perfect outfits are a vital part of any successful picture. But how can you make sure that everyone looks stylish and coordinated without sacrificing individual personalities? In this blog post, I will give you tips and advice for picking out the perfect outfits for your family.
Get Your Clothing Coordinated
The first step to a stunning family portrait is coordination. It's important to pick out colors that complement each other while still reflecting your family's unique style. Start with a neutral color as your base and build from there. Don't be afraid to mix and match prints and colors, but choose one shade as your anchor. Avoid wearing the same exact outfit, but incorporating clothing with similar patterns or styles will help tie your family's look together.
Have Fun with Accessories
Accessories can add an extra touch of personality to any outfit. Don't be afraid to let your individual styles shine through. For men and boys, a tie or bowtie can add a polished look to their outfits. Adding jewelry, scarves or a fun hat for women and girls can add a pop of color and style. Even adding complementary socks or shoes will make for a fun and cohesive family look.
Make it Fun for the Kids
Kids can be tricky to dress for pictures but making it a fun activity might help. You want them to feel comfortable and confident. Try not to put them in anything too itchy or restricting so they are free to play and be active. You can also let them choose from a few different options so they feel included. Shoes can make a huge difference for kids, choosing shoes that are both practical and stylish can help make them comfortable all while looking very fashionable.
Keep Everyone Happy
Of course, it can be a challenge to make everyone in the family happy with their clothing choices. One way to make sure everyone feels good is to give them options but within the color coordination that you have chosen. Everyone has their own style, but by keeping a common look throughout your family's outfits, it's easier to create a more polished, cohesive look. Given this, make sure that the outfits you choose are season-appropriate as well.
Remember the Finishing Touches
Styling hair, polishing shoes or nails, and wearing the right makeup all help to give a polished look to your family photos. Adding small details like a nice watch or earrings, can help give the finishing touches to your photo day look. This also applies to the younger members of your family, who may benefit from a quick brush of their hair or a snack before the shoot begins.
