One of the most common questions I receive is, “What should we wear?”

The short answer: wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident.

Whether you choose something casual or a bit more dressed up, the most important thing is that you feel like yourself.

When you’re comfortable, it truly shows in your photos.

Here are a few helpful tips to guide your outfit choices:

• Avoid neon colors, bold logos, characters, or phrases, especially on children’s clothing. These elements can be distracting in your images.
• Choose coordinating colors rather than matching outfits. Start with one main color and build around it with complementary tones.
• Textures and subtle patterns photograph beautifully and add depth to your images. Feel free to mix knits, linens, lace, or denim — just be mindful not to overdo bold patterns, as they can become visually overwhelming.
• Consider your session location and season. Neutral and earth tones tend to photograph beautifully in most environments and create a timeless look.

Most importantly, choose clothing that reflects your family’s personality and makes you feel good. These photos are about capturing you!
