So you booked your family photo shoot and need to decide what to wear? No need to run out and buy new outfits. I've got you covered with these four foolproof steps to style your family's outfits straight from your closets.
2. Pull outfits
Next, go closet to closet collecting potential outfits for each family member to wear. Each piece you pull should work with your color scheme. Select a couple of outfits for each person in the photo shoot, focusing on coordinating, not matching, everyone's outfits. Honestly, the hardest part here is not getting caught up cleaning your child's closet. (Seriously, what is that smell though?)
3. Balance the overall look
Lay out one outfit per person on a neutral surface like a comforter or rug. I like to lay my outfits down like people are wearing them, estimating the height differences of the family members. Your goal here is to balance the overall look as you narrow down your picks to one outfit per person. I usually recommend no more than two total patterns as they can make group photos look too busy. Get buy-in from your family at this stage to make sure everyone feels confident wearing what you chose. This is important for everyone to feel like their best selves in the photos.
4. Add accessories
Lastly, select jewelry and accessories that work with the final outfits. I always suggest taking along some extra pieces that can be tied into the photo shoot. A hat changes up a look quickly and makes a fun prop. A scarf can capture movement well in photos and is a quick way to add color, texture, or pattern. Layers are another simple way to change up a look and be prepared for weather fluctuations.
