I know that one of the biggest question moms and dads usually have for me when booking a session is that of “What do we wear?” It is one of the biggest stressor, second probably to only nap times. If you have an upcoming fall family photo session with me or another photographer, here are some fall outfit ideas I have put together for you to hopefully make planning outfits for your family session easier and more fun.
My client wardrobe is always included with all full sessions, and I am always on the hunt for more beautiful and versatile pieces for mamas, babies and kids. However, if you need more inspiration on what to wear for your session, keep reading.
Tips for dressing your family
- Mamas, choose your own outfit first. Once you have found yourself a flattering dress you love, you can plan everyone’s outfit around yours. Pick something dressier than your normal everyday wear, and skip the t-shirt material as it may not show as well from certain angles.
- If you are loving the bright, soft and airy images, avoid colors that are dark, bold and bright or strong patterns.
- Think classic when picking the outfits and avoid huge prints and cartoons as these photos will be hanging from your walls and be treasured for many decades. By keeping the outfits simple and classic, it will help to give the photos a timeless feel.
- Rompers are wonderful for babies and allow for quick changes when needed.
- For little girls in dresses, don’t forget to add bloomers or tights.
- And a last tip that isn’t outfit related – BRING SNACKS. Always pack some non-staining snacks.
