Tips for Styling Family Photos

  • Choose your outfit first. I am the hardest one in my family to fit so I choose my outfit first, then outfits for my kids, and finally my husband’s outfit.
  • Pick 3 to 5 coordinating colors. For our last photo shoot, I chose four colors (blue, gray, mustard, and burgundy).
  • Incorporate texture with various fabrics. Examples shown above include cable knit and corduroy.
  • Add in 1 or 2 patterns depending on the size of your family and keep the rest of the clothes mostly solid in color. For our last shoot, I added in one plaid (that contained all 4 of our colors) and one striped item.
  • Avoid super trendy clothing items and go for more classic pieces. (We all have those photos that make us cringe. I have a portrait from my childhood in which I am wearing an outfit that my husband lovingly refers to as my “hotdog jailbird outfit.” Yikes!)
  • Shop at stores that sell coordinating children’s clothing. Old Navy, Gap, Carter’s, and The Children’s Place are good places to shop.
  • Lay all of the outfits on your bed to ensure that they look good together. I also gather up all outfits the night before photos (including socks and accessories) to be sure everything is clean and ready for the shoot.
