The Woodlands Family Photographer | Davila Family

WHAT TO WEAR for family portraits??

As The Woodlands family photographer, this is the question that I hear most often.  And I get it!  This is the hardest part of preparing for your family portraits.  It’s the hardest part for me too when I’m getting my family ready for the big day.  All of my clients receive a welcome guide that includes tips and examples of how to plan the clothing for your family’s portraits.

Where to start?

  1. Start the planning process with the person who has the fewest clothing options.  This is typically one of the kids.  I start with my daughter and think about my clothing options while I’m looking in her closet.
  2. Find a piece that you love in a color that will work with other members of the family.  Try to think ahead to other family members who can coordinate but not match.
  3. Then start to coordinate outfits.  Dad and boys are easier because they can wear a neutral-colored pant/short with a collared shirt and be great!

Other things to keep in mind when selecting clothing for the family:

  1. Decide on a formal or casual look and make sure that everyone is dressed in that same style.
  2. Solid colors are best.  Stay away from too much pattern.
  3. Accessories like jewelry, hats, scarves are great – just plan them and make sure they are not distracting.
  4. Plan all the way to the feet – shoes are likely to be in some of the photos so be sure that they match the outfit.

Visit my Pinterest page for ideas and examples of coordinated outfits.  Most of all, have fun and don’t let this part stress you out!  After all, the most important thing about family portraits is that you’re together and genuine smiles and connection win out every time over meticulously coordinated outfits.  Be calm and dress on!

The Woodlands Family Photographer and The Davila Family

Mom, Erica is part of The Woodlands Moms of Multiples group.  This is how I met the Davila family.  I adore this family’s outfits.  Mom and one of the girls are in mint green dresses.  Dad and other daughter are in a pastel yellow with this girl’s dress tying all the colors together.  The twins were great for our photo session even though it was a little late for them in the evening.  We let them explore and play and just be themselves.  This process allows me to capture true personalities and smiles.  We found dogs and turtles along the way too!  What a sweet family – I’m so glad I had the opportunity to capture this crazy beautiful time in their lives together!

You know what`s quietly costing you clients? 👇🏼

Inconsistent branding.

When your team`s headshots are all over the place—different backgrounds, different lighting, some from 2019—it`s doing more damage than you think:

❌ Confuses your audience
❌ Makes your business feel less established
❌ Creates hesitation before booking
❌ Forces you to "reintroduce" yourself every time you post

But here`s what happens when your visual branding is cohesive and professional:

✔️ Builds recognition over time
✔️ Makes showing up online easier
✔️ Reinforces professionalism
✔️ Creates momentum and trust

This is why I bring headshot stations directly to your corporate events—your entire team gets updated, consistent imagery without anyone having to schedule 47 individual appointments.

One session. Cohesive branding. Done.

You don`t need to BE confident to show up for a headshot session. The session creates the confidence.

Most professionals avoid updating their headshots because they think they need to feel confident first. But that`s backwards.

My clients are always surprised by how great their photos look—and that instant confidence boost changes how they show up in their business.

Here`s what happens when you work with me: 👇🏼

→ I guide your posing so you look natural and professional
→ I direct your expression so your personality shines through
→ I handle the lighting so you look polished and approachable
→ You walk away with imagery that makes you feel like the expert you already are

You don`t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. That`s my job. Your job is just to show up.

Ready to stop waiting until you "feel confident enough"? Let`s create the confidence together.

Here`s the truth 👇🏻

Most professionals avoid headshots because they`re scared it`ll feel awkward, forced, or fake.

But here`s what happens when you skip it ⬇️

❌ Outdated LinkedIn profiles
❌ Inconsistent team branding
❌ Missed opportunities to build instant credibility.

Your headshot isn`t just a photo. It`s your first impression working 24/7 across every platform where your business shows up.

Ready to get this handled without the stress? Let`s create headshots that actually represent the confident professional you are.

Can you spot the difference? 👀

Same company. Same brand consistency. Three different years.

This is the power of a group composite - and it`s a game-changer for growing teams.

Here`s how it works 👇🏻

Instead of wrestling with everyone`s schedule to get your entire team in one place at one time (we all know that`s impossible), I photograph each person individually. Then I composite them together into a polished group photo that looks like everyone showed up on the same day.

Why this solves your biggest scheduling nightmare:

✅ New hire starts next month? Add them seamlessly to your existing team photo
✅ Team member leaves? Update the composite without re-scheduling everyone
✅ Remote employees? They can get photographed separately and added in
✅ Someone`s unavailable on photo day? No problem - we`ll catch them later
✅ Your team photo always looks current and complete

Most businesses struggle with outdated team photos because coordinating 15+ calendars feels impossible. Group composites eliminate that friction entirely.

Ready to create a team photo solution that actually scales with your business?

Here`s the truth: feeling awkward on camera isn`t about you—it`s about not knowing what to do with yourself.

Most professionals freeze up because they`re thinking about how they look instead of what they`re communicating. That self-consciousness? It shows up in every frame.

Here`s what actually works:
✅ Give yourself something to do with your hands (gesture naturally, hold something meaningful)
✅ Think about your MESSAGE, not your appearance
✅ Remember: confidence comes from preparation, not perfection

When you show up prepared and focused on serving your audience, that natural confidence comes through. And that`s what builds credibility and connection.

Need professional imagery that actually represents the confident leader you are?

Let`s talk about creating headshots and brand content that work as hard as you do.
