What to wear for family pictures outside

Figuring out what to wear is probably the hardest part of the family photo session! But with a little help from your photographer, it can be super easy and stress-free! Here are some things that I recommend for families getting ready for a family session.

Take a look in everyone’s closets and see what is currently available. Sometimes a piece or two will inspire you for the entire family. If one person has fewer choices in terms of wardrobe, start with that person. The boys are usually easiest to put in a coordinating polo or button-down.
Choose a color scheme. We don’t want everyone to match but rather to coordinate. Pick two or three colors that compliment each other and build wardrobe from those colors. Jeans and khaki pants are freebies! And consider where we will be – usually in a park or other natural setting. There are lots of browns and greens. So shades of blue always look great!
Layer and mix it up. Use the main color in tops and bottoms and accessory pieces. What we don’t want is everyone in purple shirts! I love purple but it’s better to mix it up a bit.

Here is a Pinterest board with some ideas for coordinating your family’s wardrobe. And don’t be shy about asking for help. Your photographer will help you too!

The Pennington Family

The Pennington family was beautifully coordinated without matching! They wore a mixture of dark blues and cream with a pop of yellow. We had a great session and now their family portraits hang on the walls of their home. Mom is super excited about sending gift prints to the grandparents and extended family.

My photography style is leaving my client with a photo they love to show off 🤍

Every session is designed to create images that feel elevated and effortless, capturing who you are now and where your brand is going next.

Photos that make a statement without trying too hard — and still feel relevant years from now.

If your brand calls for imagery that feels confident, cohesive, and unmistakably you, you’re in the right place.

✨ Ready to create something elevated?

Shoot me a DM and we`ll get starting planning!

This is why you should NOT ask ChatGPT to turn your Facebook photo into a professional headshot 👇🏻

AI can do a lot of things… but representing the real you isn’t one of them.

In the AI version of my headshot:
❌ My hair was changed
❌ My makeup disappeared
❌ My face shape was different
❌ The lighting + posing weren’t tailored to me at all

On screen, it looked “close enough”…
But in person? It looked nothing like me.

And that’s the problem.

Some poses might feel a little silly in the moment and that’s okay. 📸👇🏼

One of the biggest secrets to great photos is being willing to experiment.

What feels “unnatural” in real life often looks confident, effortless, and polished on camera. That’s why posing is such a big part of what I do during every session.

I’ll guide you through adjustments, test different angles, and fine-tune details so we find what truly works for you.

You don’t need to overthink it or worry about how you look — trusting the process is where the magic happens.

You show up. I’ll handle the posing.

Updated branding photos aren’t just about looking polished — they’re about having the right tools ready when you need them.

A branding session creates a full library of images you can use throughout the year — for your website, social media, emails, speaking opportunities, and everything in between.

When you have those visuals ready, showing up online feels easier and more intentional.

Instead of scrambling for content or reusing outdated photos, you’ll always have on-brand images you can confidently pull from — whenever your business needs them.

That’s why branding photos aren’t just an expense.

They’re an investment in consistency, confidence, and long-term visibility.

I hear this all the time — and the good news is, you don’t need to👇🏻

Guiding you through posing, angles, and expressions is literally my job.

During every session, I give clear, simple direction so you never feel awkward or unsure of what to do next.

My goal is to help you feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident — because that’s when you look your best.

You’re never expected to “perform” or figure it out on your own. I’ll position you in ways that highlight your best features and feel natural to you.

All you need to do is show up. I’ll take care of the rest.
