That said, there are a few things about wardrobe you should NEVER worry about:
1. Buying new outfits for everyone in your family. Children especially will be more comfortable in clothing which is familiar to them.
2. Matching - your family doesn't go out to the movies in matching outfits, or church, or school, so why worry about wearing matching outfits for a photograph?
3. Frilly and fancy - Your family portraits should be a reflection of who you are! If you feel your best in a pair of distressed jeans and a t-shirt, wear it!
That said, keep in mind your session will be out of doors, on the ground, in the trees, and in general kicking back. Be comfortable! If you feel comfy in your clothes, you'll look relaxed in your photos.
You will want outfits which are complimentary to one another, but absolutely express yourself!
I want you to love your family portraits and in order for that to happen, you need to love what you're wearing and how it makes you feel!
When planning your family wardrobe, pick one or two pieces you absolutely love, and move from there. If you have a beautiful turquoise cardigan you love, select dark blues, grays, greens, and blacks to compliment it. Keep it simple and don't stress! Remember I am here to help you - we'll have a pre-session consultation to cover wardrobe, location, and style.
