When preparing for a family photo session, choosing the right clothing can greatly influence the overall look and feel of your images. Here are some tips to consider:
Color Palette
Choose a cohesive color scheme: Select a palette of complementary colors. Neutral tones, pastels, and muted shades often work well together. Try to avoid overly bright or neon colors that can distract from the subjects. Always avoid logos on T-shirts or hats.
Coordinate but don’t match: Instead of everyone wearing the same outfit, opt for clothing that reflects a unified style without being identical. This allows each individual’s personality to shine.
Style and Comfort
Dress for the occasion: Aim for a balance between formal and casual depending on the overall vibe you desire. For a relaxed outdoor session, comfortable and casual attire is more suitable,
Prioritize comfort: Ensure that all family members feel at ease in their outfits. If someone is uncomfortable, it may reflect in the photographs.
Layering and Accessories
Add layers: Layers can add depth to your photos. Consider vests or scarves that can be easily removed or adjusted throughout the session.
Incorporate accessories: Simple accessories such as hats and jewelry, can enhance your look while maintaining a cohesive appearance. Just be cautious not to overdo it.
Patterns and Textures
Use patterns sparingly: Subtle patterns can add interest, but too many mixed patterns can be overwhelming. Limit patterns to one or two members to keep the focus on the family as a whole.
Mix textures: Incorporating various fabrics, such as denim, knits, and cotton, can create a visually appealing contrast in your images without overwhelming the color scheme.
Final Tips
Plan ahead: Try on outfits in advance and take photos to see how they look together. This can help avoid last-minute outfit changes or mismatched styles.
Personal touches: Feel free to incorporate elements that reflect your family’s personality or interests, making the session more unique and meaningful.
By keeping these tips in mind, you can create a harmonious and visually appealing look for your family photo session.

We want the best light for every session so early morning and late afternoon are the best times.
After this the light becomes stronger and harsher, resulting in deeper shadows and more contrasty images.
Softer light means minimal shadows and more flattering photos.

Due to the hot & humid climate in Onslow, I’ll mostly be offering family sessions throughout the cooler months.
As well as the heat summer is generally too windy, which is never a good thing having hair blowing across your faces and in your eyes.
It’s best if we take advantage of Onslow’s beautiful winter months to capture the best images we can.
