Outfit Tips for Your Photoshoot
Comfort is key – Choose outfits you feel good in. If you’re comfortable, it shows in the photos.
Confidence counts – Wear something that makes you feel confident and “yourself.”
Keep it simple – Neutral or soft tones photograph beautifully and won’t distract from your connection.
Coordinate, don’t match – Pick a colour palette and let each family member’s outfit complement one another.
Avoid big logos & busy patterns – They can distract from the focus of your photos — you!
Think practical – If little ones are involved, bring a spare outfit (just in case!).
Above all else, come ready to laugh, play, and enjoy the experience. The more relaxed and connected you are as a family, the more natural and heartfelt your photos will be. Every time you look back on your images, you’ll remember the joy of the day as much as the photos themselves. ✨
Things to Avoid for Your Photoshoot
To keep your photos timeless and focused on your family, here are a few things to avoid when choosing outfits:
Large logos & text – These are distracting in photos and will date quickly.
Neon colours – They overpower the photo and may clash with your home décor.
Everyone in patterns – Too many patterns create a “busy” look and tend to age poorly.
Chunky jewellery, Fitbits & watches – These pull attention away from your faces and can look dated.
Trendy clothing that will date – Stick to timeless classics like neutral dresses, jeans, and simple tops.
One standout bright colour – If one person is in a bold shade while everyone else is neutral, it can look unbalanced
