Photo day is coming up and you are wondering what the heck to wear! I get it, you have invested in family photography and you want to look your best. Here are some quick tips on how to select great outfits for your family photoshoot!
Make sure everyone feels comfortable. Even though it is fun to dress our kids up in fancy clothes, I have found that if a child feels uncomfortable in their outfits it will make the photoshoot more difficult. When selecting clothing for photo day make sure that there are no itchy tags, no stiff material, and that the child feels good in the outfit. This can easily be achieved by allowing kids to try on the outfits to be sure they are comfortable prior to the photoshoot. This goes for the adults in the family too. Make sure everyone tries on their outfits and that they can easily move in them!
Allow kids to be part of the clothing selection. The goal is for these photos to take you back to this moment in time! I really recommend allowing the kids to take part in the clothing selection. Give them a handful of options and let them be the one who decides that they will ultimately wear. This will really help them feel like they are part of the planning and help them to get excited about the photoshoot!
Don’t break the bank! I recommend starting to form the outfits based on what mom is going to wear. So, mom, pick out a outfit you love and then build the family around your choice. Chances are you have something you have been wanting to wear but you haven’t had to occasion to wear it yet! Start there! Zara & Amazon are my two favorite places to buy kids clothing that will not break the bank!
Accessorize! Hats, scarfs, and layers are a great way to add interest to an outfit and can be a fun way to get kids excited about the photoshoot!
Ultimately, make sure you feel comfortable and confident in what you are wearing for your photoshoot! I can’t wait to capture you!
