One of my guilty pleasures? Scrolling through Instagram admiring all the big-name bloggers’ perfectly styled family shoots. Another guilty pleasure? Shopping.
So, if you are finding yourself freaking out about what to dress your family in for your family photo shoot, look no further! I came up with a set of guidelines to take the pressure off.
- 1. Toss out the graphic tees! Not only do they look a little frumpy, logos change, text can look warped depending on the pose, and it makes editing a pain for your photographer.
- 2. Choose a color palette! Palette as in multiple colors, not one shade of blue for the entire family. Need help choosing a color? Visit color.adobe.com and explore thousands of palettes!
- 3. Choose different articles for each person! Have you ever seen those cringe-worthy family photos where everyone is wearing jeans and a white tee? Change it up: put the hubby in a sweater, wifey in a dress, the boys in a button up (maybe even toss a vest on), and your girls in a shirt + skirt + leggings combo.
- 4. Mix up the textures! Solids are cute but mix and matching is definitely more fun. Guys look great in plaids, and sweaters with texture (like wool or chenille) are a perfect match.
