You've Booked the Shoot, Now What Do You Wear? A Guide to Springtime Family Photo Session Wardrobes

Congratulations on securing a professional photography session with me. It's a privilege to be your chosen photographer, and I'm committed to ensuring your experience exceeds expectations!

Now, let's talk about something crucial: what to wear for your Spring photo shoot. Trust me, your outfit choice can truly make or break the magic we capture. Since you're investing in professional photography, it's worth giving some extra thought to your wardrobe. I want these photos to be treasured for a lifetime, which is why I'm here to offer some Springtime wardrobe tips. Picture soft, muted shades that perfectly complement the light and airy vibes of the season. It's a great time of year to pull out the pastels!

Spring trends I've seen in stores and on the runway for Spring and Summer 2024 include lilac purple, soft light greens, chambray blue, lemon drop yellow, and of course the Pantone color of the year Peach Fuzz. Pairing soft pastel colors with neutrals makes for a dreamy Spring look!

Start by crafting a color palette for your family's outfits. Select a focal color, perhaps for mom's attire, and then build around that with complementary hues and neutrals. And if you're unsure, let your little one's outfit guide you.

Remember, subtlety is key when it comes to patterns. While mixing bold prints can be overwhelming, experimenting with textures adds depth without overpowering the scene.

Here's a pro tip: steer clear of dark colors that could dampen the Springtime mood we're going for. Opt instead for timeless black and white combos or various shades of neutrals to keep things fresh and classic.

Also, when planning your family's wardrobe, consider the location of your photos. For instance, if you're in a yellow flower field, avoid wearing all yellow to stand out as the main subject. Opt for contrasting colors to catch the eye. Soft hues make you stand out amidst lush greenery. By water, a long flowing dress for mom and white linen attire could create a dreamy look.

Ultimately, the goal is cohesion, not uniformity. Your outfits should harmonize rather than match identically.

So, embrace the light and embrace the season – your Springtime shoot is bound to be picture-perfect!
