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!

Here's why 👇🏼

As an athlete, your performance is only part of the story. The rest?

It’s about how to show up outside the arena - on social media, in press features, in sponsor meetings, and beyond.

That’s where athlete branding comes in, and where a powerful, professional athlete headshot can make all the difference.

Today’s athletes are more than competitors. You're public figures. Influencers. Brands. And your headshot isn’t just a nice-to-have - it’s a strategic tool that opens doors and builds trust. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏼

Your visual brand should include👇🏼

✅ A polished headshot
✅ Actions shots
✅ Lifestyle Content

Because when people see you - the full, confident, current version of you - they’re more than likely to invest, connect, and remember. 

This isn’t about vanity. it’s about visibility. 

If your photos are outdated, inconsistent, or just not aligned with where you’re headed, I’d love to help you change that.

📩 Contact me to book your athlete branding session TODAY - let’s build a visual brand that works as hard as you do.

Here’s what I would say…

If you're wondering whether you should reschedule your headshot session, here's the breakdown:

✨ DO reschedule if:

You're feeling under the weather 🤧 (no one wants to spread germs or push through when you're not at your best)

You have a facial rash, skin peeling, or excessive puffiness that affects your overall comfort and confidence

🚫 DON’T stress or reschedule for:

A shaving nick
A breakout or blemish
Puffy eyes or dark circles
Forehead lines or wrinkles
Cold sores or minor irritation

🧼 I’ve got you covered when it comes to light retouching—my editing style enhances without overdoing it. You’ll still look like YOU, just the best version.

📸 Now, let’s talk prep:

✔️ Men: Schedule a haircut a few days before your session (not the day-of!)

✔️ Ladies: Make sure your hair is cut, colored, and styled—I’ve got hair + makeup covered for Executive Headshots if you want to take the stress off!

✔️ Wardrobe: Try on your outfit ahead of time—fit and comfort are key

✔️ Night before: Get a good night’s sleep & hydrate for that natural glow

✨ The best part? We go over ALL of this during your consultation. I’ll guide you every step of the way so you feel fully prepared and confident going into your session.

Imagine this: It’s senior year. You’re flipping through the yearbook, and when you get to your page… there’s no senior pic. Just your name. In plain text. Tragic. 😭

Or worse—your mom has a big empty spot on her wall where your iconic senior portrait should be. Do you really want your little siblings to have better pics than you? Be so for real. 👀

Good news? It’s not too late! Spring is the perfect time for senior portraits, and I’ve got spots open just for you. Let’s make sure you graduate with photos you actually love.
