Coordinating Outfits for Family Pictures

Planning for your family’s portrait session doesn’t need to be stressful!  With a few tips and a little planning, coordinating outfits can be simple and fun!  Check out my Pinterest page for ideas on family outfits.

  1. Pick a general color scheme.  Remember that you’ll likely be in a natural setting with lots of greens and browns.  Greens and blues against this natural backdrop.  A fall color scheme with neutrals like brown, khaki, orange, and cranberry look great in nature.  We don’t want everyone to match but rather coordinate with colors to create harmony.
  2. Begin choosing outfits with the person who has the fewest clothing options.  My daughter and I like to coordinate our outfits first and then the boys can find something to fit into the general color scheme with a polo and jeans.
  3. Use lots of layers and vary the colors on tops and bottoms.
  4. Dress everyone to the toes!  Those shoes can really throw you off if you don’t plan ahead.  Don’t choose shoes while you’re walking out the door!

Finally, don’t stress over the outfits!  The point of the session is to be together and to remember the love and connections that you share with each other.  We will see that in the images when you can relax and have fun with your family.  That’s much more important than the perfectly coordinated outfits.

Let’s talk about AI headshots. 🤖 ⬇️

Here’s the thing: while AI can mimic your likeness, it can’t replace the real you. People who know you can still tell the difference between an authentic photograph and a computer-generated image stitched together from selfies.

When it comes to building trust with your clients, patients, or audience, authenticity matters. Real portraits create real connection.

That said, I do love using AI-powered tools — not to fake who you are, but to enhance your photos. Tools that smooth, sharpen, and polish while keeping your portraits truthful, authentic, and you.

Because your clients deserve to meet the real person behind the brand.

📸 Ready for headshots that feel polished and authentic? Shoot me a DM!

When you show up like a pro, doors start opening.

We wrapped this session with a simple truth: “Kyle’s going to go off and do great things.”

And he will—because he’s putting his best foot forward, starting with how he presents himself. A high-quality headshot might seem like a small thing, but it can make a powerful first impression that opens doors to new jobs, clients, or collaborations.

When you look the part, you feel the part—and the world responds accordingly.

Ever wondered why your headshots look flat instead of flattering? 👀

It all comes down to lighting. In the studio, I use one main light source and strategically placed reflectors to bounce light and fill in shadows. This creates that soft, even glow that makes you look approachable and polished—while still keeping a touch of shadow to add shape and dimension to your face.

Flat lighting can make your features disappear. The right lighting makes you stand out. ✨

Here’s why 👇🏻

Most people wait for the “perfect” moment—when they’ve lost a few pounds, changed their hair, or finally feel more confident. But here’s the truth: there will always be something you’re waiting on.

Your headshot isn’t about some future version of you—it’s about showing up confidently in the season you’re in today. Because this version of you? The one leading your team, meeting clients, building your business—that’s the version people want to connect with.

When your photo feels authentic and current, it builds instant trust. Outdated or staged images can actually do the opposite, making it harder for people to recognize the real you.

So don’t wait for “someday.” The right time to show up as your best self is always now.

🚫 Let’s talk wardrobe no-nos for headshots.

I want you to look polished, confident, and distraction-free in your photos—and sometimes that means skipping certain outfit choices.

For men:

❌ No undershirts peeking through

❌ If you’re wearing a tie, make sure your shirt buttons all the way up

❌ If it doesn’t, we’re ditching the tie

For women:

❌ Skip the sleeveless tops—your arms will compete with your face for attention

✅ A sleeve (even short) helps keep the focus where it belongs—on YOU

The goal? A clean, intentional look that draws people in and keeps their attention right where it should be—your face.

📸 Save this before your session so you can show up ready and confident.
