I have not one, but THREE examples of What to Wear for your next family portrait session! The goal is to coordinate without matching exactly. The days of everyone wearing black shirts and khaki’s are gone – let’s be more creative and natural! Wouldn’t your family look beautiful in one of these color palettes??

Usually, this is a What to Wear Wednesday – but since today is Tuesday, we’ll just call it What to Wear for your Fall Mini-Session.
Some of you have told me that you are not planning a “traditional” holiday portrait this year (which is great – way to stand out from the crowd!) so this month’s What to Wear Guide has a fall theme and follows all my “rules”:
1. Choose at least three colors to use in your family’s palette – no matchy-matchy, but coordination is a must.
2. Think in layers – especially for fun, funky backdrops!
3. Use ACCESSORIES to give dimension to the portrait. (Scarves, jewelry, boots, hats, etc.)

It’s almost Wednesday, so before I forget, here’s another edition of “What to Wear” – a guide to help families who are struggling with coordinating outfits for their portrait session. This particular edition will be perfect for my upcoming (November) holiday mini-sessions – a bit of red, a bit of green….a whole lot of perfection!

I wanted to share with you today a real-life example of “What to Wear”. This family showed up for their session and I was over-the-moon-excited about their outfits! They did everything right – bright colors, coordination, comfort and style. The baby had a three tiered dress that seemed to be the inspiration for their family look. The older sister wore a skirt with leggings (it’s always a great idea to use layers for more of a 3D “pop”) in the same color scheme. Hot pink, light blue and orange were the main colors so Mom wore a light blue top and Dad wore a lighter orange polo. Their shoes were even coordinated – I LOVED all their summer sandals!! Click on the slideshow below to see how awesome their outfits look together – no matching needed!! Way to go, guys – you’re an inspiration for all my families and I hope you love your portraits!
