Styling A Family Photo Shoot

Have a family photo shoot coming up and don't know what to wear?  Here are some tips for styling your fam like a pro.  Make your photos have a timeless feel that you won't be embarrassed to have hanging on your wall a few years from now!

Kiddos

​Have some fun with your children's outfits!  Don't be afraid to mix in a little color and some fun patterns.  I've coordinated the outfits ever so slightly with the stripes on the little girl's top and the boy's shoes.  Gone are the days of everyone wearing fully matching outfits.

Parents

Since your kiddos are wearing the fun stuff, I think it looks much better to have the parents in more subdued colors.  Here I've chosen blacks, whites, and greys.  This way the children stand out in their cute little duds and mom & dad are looking stylish yet timeless.  This is definitely more of a casual look as well.  I think family photos look much better when everyone is comfortable and relaxed rather than in stuffy "dress clothes".
