When it comes to capturing timeless family photos, one of the most common concerns I hear from clients is, “What should we wear?” As a mom myself, I understand how stressful it can be to coordinate outfits for everyone. That’s why I include custom styling for your photo session to take the guesswork out of it and help you feel confident in front of the camera.

Each family session includes custom styling with a personalized style board tailored to your unique preferences – your style, the look of your home where the images will be placed, the location you choose, etc. These boards feature carefully curated outfit combinations for every member of the family, ensuring a cohesive and polished appearance. I link everything directly to online stores, making it easy for you to shop if needed.

The best part? You don’t have to follow the board exactly! You can use it as inspiration, mixing in items you already own or finding similar pieces that fit your style and budget. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience so you can focus on enjoying the session and making memories.

Your outfits truly can make or break your photos, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way. I always recommend neutral tones, soft textures, and layers to create a timeless look that photographs beautifully. Avoid loud and bold patterns or logos, as they can distract from the emotion and connection in your images. Coordinating colors without being overly matchy is key—think complementary shades that flow together naturally.

As you can see from this family, they used the style board (from above) to coordinate their outfits while pulling from both the board and their own closets. Not only did their outfits complement each other, but they also greatly enhanced the overall aesthetic of their photos. By taking the time to plan your wardrobe, you’ll ensure that your photos not only look stunning but also feel authentic to your family’s personality.
