Ultimate Guide to Family Photo Clothing Ideas and Inspiration

Getting ready for our photo session together, I often hear, "What should we wear?" It's a great question because the right outfits can truly enhance the natural beauty of your photos, especially considering Seattle's varied weather.

Select Outfits That Complement the Scenery

When choosing outfits, aim for colors and styles that naturally blend with the outdoor setting we'll be in. Earth tones work beautifully in a park, while soft blues and neutrals are perfect for beach scenes. Choosing harmonious colors helps us capture the effortless beauty of your family against the stunning backdrop of the Pacific Northwest.

Comfort & Style is Key for the Seattle Outdoors

Comfort is key, as it allows your family's genuine connections to shine through. Select outfits that feel good and fit your family's style, keeping in mind the day's activities and locations. For shoes, think practical yet stylish—something that keeps you comfortable while exploring.

Embracing the Elements with Style

Seattle's weather is part of what makes this area so beautiful. Instead of bright and bold accessories, consider neutral-toned layers that can easily adapt to changing conditions. A beautiful shawl, a classic trench coat, or simple, stylish boots that complement the rest of your outfit can ensure you're prepared without overshadowing the natural vibe we're capturing.

Layers and Textures

Incorporating different textures and layers into your outfits can add depth and interest to your photos without needing bold patterns or colors. Think cotton, wool, and denim in pieces that layer well for a look that's both beautiful and practical.

Staying True to Your Family

The most important aspect is to wear what reflects your family's essence. Our session is about capturing your authentic moments together. Choose outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident, allowing your family's unique bond to be the focus.

...It's all about capturing the real, unscripted moments against the beautiful canvas of Seattle.

If you're excited about creating lasting memories with your family and love the idea of natural, authentic photos, then I'd love to hear from you.
