What to wear for your family photos

You’ve taken the first step and hired a professional photographer to take your family pictures. Yay for you!! Family photos are something you will cherish for a lifetime! Now comes the hardest part, What do I wear???

There are so many different options for fall family photo wardrobes! The first thing you want to ask your self is what kind of vibe am I going for? Sunday best, Formal, boho, casual. What colors and styles will be best for the location you have chosen? Below are some great options and ideas for you!

I love creating mood boards for clients, lots of which I already have in my client wardrobe or can be bought quickly on Amazon.com. The easiest way to create outfits that flow together are to start with one staple piece with a pattern or design, then draw colors from there. For the fall, I adore rich colors and earthy tones!

I am swooning over the rust, mustard, and dark teal in this style board! Bonus is I have all three of the dresses in my client closet!

Burnt orange is also a favorite! Add some earthy tones or neutrals and you are good to go!

Cranberry is also a huge favorite for the fall! It photographs so beautifully in an outdoor environment and studio for a vibrant splash of color!

Glam is always a yes from me!! I love super fancy and have done it for my family! The combinations below would add some flare to your family photos and you would certainly be feeling well put together!

The emerald green with the pop of sparkle in the gold sequins is everything!

Formal blacks with a pop of red is killer! Red looks amazing against the greens outside, too! Perfect combination for formal Christmas family photos!

I love navy and then add some deep cranberry to it and you have the perfect combination for fall outdoor family photos!

Pinks and blues together are also a great combination. It doesn’t scream Christmas or fall, but its a gorgeous combination for photos being hung year round in your home!
