Color Schemes for Family Photos

What are we going to wear for family photos?  Planning the family wardrobe is probably the biggest challenge in getting ready for your family portrait session.  But it doesn’t need to be difficult!  First, consider the setting which is typically outdoors in nature with lots of greens and browns.  Next, think about what colors look good on your family and what colors your family already owns in clothing pieces.  Neutral colors in jeans and khaki pants are freebies.  Try to put together a color scheme with one or two main colors with the possibility of an accent color.  Blues and greens with a pop of pink or other color look really great in a nature scene.  Fall colors like mustards, orange, browns, and khaki look great in the natural landscape too.  Finally, think about layers and textures in scarves, vests, and jackets to bring everything together.

Examples of Family Portraits

Amanda and her family like to go formal for their family portraits and I love her gorgeous dresses!  Every year it’s a new look!  I love that the baby has on little pants, suspenders, and a bowtie…how precious!  Whitney and her family choose to stick with the blues and greens which are a perfect compliment to the scenery.  Jackie and her family chose navy and pink with a couple of neutral colors – perfect!  Lorissa’s family is in the fall color scheme with browns, oranges, and khakis.  Love this!  Hannah is in mustard and the kids in greys and blacks which are great neutral colors too.  Brandi’s family is also in blues and greens with a pop of gold in baby girl’s shirt!  What a great job all of my families did in planning outfits this year!

Most people step in front of the camera thinking, “I have no idea what to do.”

That’s where I come in.

Every small adjustment you see here — posture, hands, angles — is intentional. It’s what turns a quick headshot into something confident and professional.

If you want to learn the poses I rely on most, I put together a guide breaking them down.

If you’re just getting into headshot photography, it’s easy to feel like you need everything to get started.

You don’t.

A solid light setup, a reliable camera, and a lens you can trust will take you a lot further than you think.

📸 For me, that looks like a Nikon Z7II mirrorless camera + a 70–200mm lens, paired with a simple lighting setup that keeps things consistent and professional.

It’s not about having the most gear — it’s about having the right setup and knowing how to use it.

What are volume headshots? 🤔⬇️

They’re a quick, efficient way to give professionals access to high-quality headshots—without needing a full session.

Perfect for office buildings, coworking spaces, and companies that want to offer something valuable to their teams or tenants. Everyone signs up for a time slot, gets guided through a short session, and walks away with a polished, professional image.

Simple, streamlined, and a great experience all around.

Want to bring this to your office or building?
