What to Wear
Gone are the days of 1990s family portraits where everyone in the picture would wear the same outfit. A good way to start planning a photo session is to choose a color scheme. Try to choose a palette that has a mix of neutral shades and a bright color. Another option is a color scheme with one main color and different variations of that color.
First and foremost, BE YOU! Your clothing choices should allow you to be yourself and reflect your family
Instead of having everyone in the photo compete for center stage, you may want to choose one person to stand out from the others. They can wear one impactful piece that inspires the accessories and colors in everyone else's outfits. Typically, it's easier to have a woman's or girl's outfit be the focal point of a picture.
Consider using multiple accessories for each subject throughout your photo shoot. Depending on how many accessories you have, you can do one or two changes throughout the shoot. This is much easier than doing full clothing changes, but it's enough to give photos a whole new feel.
