Clothing Colors for Family Photos

During the family consultations, we talk about wardrobe.  This is often the hardest part for Mom.  She’s the one usually in charge of finding outfits for everyone that will coordinate and look good in the family photos.  As your photographer, it’s my job to help with this task!  I have examples to show you from other family portrait sessions so you can see what colors you like that coordinate well together.  Here are some tips for selecting wardrobe.

  1. Location: consider the location of your family photo session.  If it’s indoors in the studio, colors should be in the same tone as the background that you’ll be using.  So if it’s a light background, choose lighter colors.  If it’s a darker background, choose darker colors.  If the session will be outdoors, choose colors that will coordinate and be complimentary to an outdoor scene with lots of greens and browns.  I really enjoy blues in an outdoor scene.
  2. Colors: many families like to wear jeans or khakis.  These are great options and do not count toward your color choices.  Choose two or three coordinating colors.  Remember the color wheel from art class?  Here is a great article on color theory.  Depending on your tastes and preferences, choose complimentary colors directly across from each other on the color wheel.  Or choose monochromatic colors in different hues.
  3. Review: once you have chosen a color palette and wardrobe pieces, lay them out together.  Review the selections and see if anything in particular stands out or doesn’t coordinate.  Adjust as needed.

Choosing clothing colors for family photos can be fun!  With these tips and a little preparation, you will be ready for some beautiful family portraits!

The Paul Family

I photographed the Paul family several years ago and this year, the kids were in town for the holidays.  We were able to catch up and get some gorgeous family portraits!  The session started in the studio (it was December in Texas so you never know what the weather will be like).  It’s always a good idea to have a safe location option in case of bad weather.  Then we moved outside and the weather was absolutely perfect!  The timing couldn’t have been better…we captured the family just as the sun was setting on the horizon.  Between individual portraits of the kids and parents to the entire family and some fun shots in between, it was a family portrait session success!

You don`t need to BE confident to show up for a headshot session. The session creates the confidence.

Most professionals avoid updating their headshots because they think they need to feel confident first. But that`s backwards.

My clients are always surprised by how great their photos look—and that instant confidence boost changes how they show up in their business.

Here`s what happens when you work with me: 👇🏼

→ I guide your posing so you look natural and professional
→ I direct your expression so your personality shines through
→ I handle the lighting so you look polished and approachable
→ You walk away with imagery that makes you feel like the expert you already are

You don`t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. That`s my job. Your job is just to show up.

Ready to stop waiting until you "feel confident enough"? Let`s create the confidence together.

Here`s the truth 👇🏻

Most professionals avoid headshots because they`re scared it`ll feel awkward, forced, or fake.

❌ Outdated LinkedIn profiles
❌ Inconsistent team branding

Your headshot isn`t just a photo. It`s your first impression working 24/7 across every platform where your business shows up.

Can you spot the difference? 👀

Same company. Same brand consistency. Three different years.

This is the power of a group composite - and it`s a game-changer for growing teams.

Here`s how it works 👇🏻

Instead of wrestling with everyone`s schedule to get your entire team in one place at one time (we all know that`s impossible), I photograph each person individually. Then I composite them together into a polished group photo that looks like everyone showed up on the same day.

Why this solves your biggest scheduling nightmare:

✅ New hire starts next month? Add them seamlessly to your existing team photo
✅ Team member leaves? Update the composite without re-scheduling everyone
✅ Remote employees? They can get photographed separately and added in
✅ Someone`s unavailable on photo day? No problem - we`ll catch them later
✅ Your team photo always looks current and complete

Most businesses struggle with outdated team photos because coordinating 15+ calendars feels impossible. Group composites eliminate that friction entirely.

Here`s the truth: feeling awkward on camera isn`t about you—it`s about not knowing what to do with yourself.

Most professionals freeze up because they`re thinking about how they look instead of what they`re communicating. That self-consciousness? It shows up in every frame.

Here`s what actually works:
✅ Give yourself something to do with your hands (gesture naturally, hold something meaningful)
✅ Think about your MESSAGE, not your appearance
✅ Remember: confidence comes from preparation, not perfection

When you show up prepared and focused on serving your audience, that natural confidence comes through. And that`s what builds credibility and connection.

Need professional imagery that actually represents the confident leader you are?

Let`s talk about creating headshots and brand content that work as hard as you do.

Exciting update for 2025: I’m now using Headshot Tools to make your team headshots even smoother!

Here`s the truth: The hardest part of team headshots isn`t the photography—it`s the chaos that comes after.

Tracking who chose which image. Chasing down approvals. Keeping everyone organized.

This year, I`ve integrated a system that eliminates all of that:

✨ Private proof galleries for each team member
📸 They choose their favorite on their own time
✅ I see selections instantly and deliver retouched images back to their gallery

No group emails. No confusion. No chasing people down.

When you bring me to your next corporate event, your team gets professional headshots without the coordination nightmare.

Ready to simplify your team`s headshot experience? Lets Talk.
