Outfits for Family Photos

At Tara Flannery Photography, we are here to help with every stage of the process for family portraits.  Beginning with a consultation, Tara will help you make decisions about the location for the portrait session and about clothing and outfits for the family.  She will walk through options starting with the person who has the fewest clothing choices.  That person’s outfit will often determine style and color choices.  A tip for choosing outfits is to start with neutral colors for everyone (khaki, earth tones, or blues) and then add a pop of color in a sweater, scarf, shoes, or other accessory.  Try to stay away from solid white and solid black.  Adding lots of texture and layers is a good idea and can help tie everyone together.

The Westwood Family

The Westwood family had a great color combination in their outfits for family photos.  With blue jeans as the family base or neutral color, each outfit was then built with a blue and/or green shirt or sweater.  Mom added a scarf to tie in the blue color again with her outfit.  By adding these layers and textures, all of the outfits coordinated beautifully.  What a fun session with this family!  I absolutely adore the photo of Mom with the kids – gentle and beautiful.  She will treasure this image for years to come.  The kids will grow up but she will be able to hold onto this moment, at this age, forever.

Here`s the hard truth about acting headshots that most photographers won`t tell you 👇🏻

If a casting director can`t immediately see what role you`d play just by looking at your photo, you`ve already lost the audition.

Corporate headshots show professionalism. Acting headshots show CHARACTER—and that requires a completely different approach.

Most actors think they need one `perfect` headshot with a generic smile. But casting directors aren`t looking for pleasant—they`re looking for types. The lawyer, the best friend, the villain. And they need to see it instantly.

That`s why specificity wins:
✨ Confident and commanding for lawyer roles
✨ Warm and approachable for parent characters
✨ Hint of mischief for villain parts

But here`s the bigger mistake—thinking one headshot is enough. One headshot = one role. Multiple headshots = multiple opportunities.

You need range: commercial-friendly, dramatic, playful, maybe edgy. When casting directors see variety, they`re thinking about how you fit their ENTIRE project.

Not every photographer understands acting industry standards. When I work with actors, we plan multiple `looks` in one session—because every shot needs to feel intentional.

Ready to create acting headshots that actually get you cast? Let`s plan a session that shows your full range.

🎥 Ever wondered what it’s actually like during a headshot session?

If the idea of being in front of the camera makes you feel a little awkward or unsure, you`re not alone. Most of my clients come in feeling that way — but leave saying, “That was way more fun than I expected!”

Here`s a sneak peak at how I will guide you every step of the way — from how to stand, where to look, even how to tilt your chin — so you never have to wonder what to do. ✨

My goal? To make you feel confident, comfortable, and genuinely like yourself. And the best part is, the results speak for themselves.

"What should we wear?" — The question that keeps families from booking their session. 😅

Here`s the thing: I`ve been doing this long enough to know that outfit stress is real. And completely unnecessary.

That`s why I work with a professional stylist who takes the guesswork out of coordinating your family`s look:

🎨 She creates a custom color palette that flatters everyone
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Coordinates (not matches!) each family member perfectly
📦 Can even help you shop or pull from what you already own
✨ Ensures your photos look timeless, not trendy

No more last-minute outfit changes. No more wondering if everyone looks good together. No more stress.

Just show up, be yourselves, and let us handle the rest.

Because the best family photos happen when you`re relaxed, comfortable, and focused on each other — not worried about whether your shirt works with your daughter`s dress.

📸 Ready for a stress-free family session? DM me to get started!
