Styling Family Photos

my top tips for making family photos a  painless hit for the whole family! 

 Your Photographer

Review their photos and see what you're loving! This will give the photographer an idea of what you're hoping to accomplish in the timeframe you have booked.

  CHOOSING YOUR LOCATION

Knowing your location will help determine what colors you wear so you don't blend into your backdrop. It's also key in choosing the time you book. This allows your photographer to pick optimal lighting!

coordinate, not duplicate

Please don't put everyone in the exact same outfit. Let everyone show a bit of their personality and put their own taste on their outfit. Set a color scheme and allow everyone to pick their look from there! 

 Don't feel the need to get a new wardrobe for your photos! Use a color scheme that may match a print that everyone will already have in their closet. Saving money is always a win!

shop your closet

gather your crew

Include all your family or friends that mean the most to you for the best memories. Your crew is a big part of your life and these photos will be cherished forever!

get the kids smiling

We all know how hard it is to keep kids smiling. Bring toys, your pet or use decoration in the photos to keep them laughing and distracted!

Bring a Fun Attitude

Most of our best photos come from candid, silly moments. Turn up everyones favorite song, let dad tell a few of his jokes or tickle your toddlers. Like most aspects of life, a good attitude will make it so much more fun!
