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!

Senior sessions with moms and sons are always… an experience 😂

A little back-and-forth, a few eye rolls, and somehow we still end up with photos everyone loves.

Honestly, those in-between moments are usually the best part.

📩 DM me if you’ve been putting off senior photos—there’s still time.
Senior photos shouldn’t feel random… they should feel like you. 👇🏻

Before every session, we talk through a few key things to make sure your photos actually reflect this moment in your life:

✅ Location — what kind of vibe fits you? (nature, city, something more edgy?)
✅ Wardrobe — casual, polished, cap & gown, college tee… we plan it out
✅ Hobbies & interests — the things you love right now that you’ll want to remember later

Because the goal isn’t just to take photos…
it’s to capture who you are right now before everything changes. 🎓

📩 If you’re planning senior photos, let’s start with a consultation and build something intentional.
Click the link in my bio to get started!
Cap and gown season is here 🎓

If you didn’t get senior photos done earlier, this is your moment—professional cap & gown photos and college tee shots are the perfect way to wrap up senior year.

And now that decisions are made, it’s the best time to capture where they’re headed next.

📩 Spots are limited—click the link in my bio or DM me to book a last-minute session.

And for Class of 2027 parents… it’s not too early to start thinking ahead 👀
Some yearbook deadlines come faster than you expect, and these photos make the perfect addition to senior pages.
