What to Wear for Your Family Photoshoot in Montreal
Because coordinating outfits shouldn't require a group therapy session.
Hey there, fabulous families! Planning a family photoshoot? First off, kudos to you for convincing everyone—no small feat! Now, let's talk outfits. The goal? To capture your family's unique vibe while ensuring everyone feels comfortable and looks their best. Here's your go-to guide to dressing for success (and natural smiles) in your upcoming session.
👗 Comfort Meets Style: Be Yourselves
Your family's outfits should reflect who you are. If your daughter hates dresses or your son really can’t stand button-downs, don't force it. Embrace your family's style—be it sporty, casual, or a mix of both. The key is to look polished without compromising comfort.
🎨 Coordinate, Don't Match
Gone are the days of identical outfits (looking at you, white shirts and jeans). Instead, opt for a cohesive colour palette. Choose 2-3 complementary colors and mix in different textures and patterns to add depth without overwhelming the eye.
🚫 Avoid Neon and Logos
Bright neon colors and prominent logos can be distracting and may cast unflattering hues on the skin. Stick to timeless tones and subtle patterns to keep the focus on your beautiful faces.
📏 Fit is It
Ensure everyone's clothing fits well. Oversized or too-tight outfits can be unflattering and uncomfortable. Remember, confidence shines through when everyone feels good in what they're wearing.
✨ Mom, this is your time to shine!
Moms, pick your outfit first—something that makes you feel amazing. Once you've chosen your ensemble, coordinate the rest of the family's outfits around your look to ensure a harmonious overall appearance.
🧥 Layer Up
Layers add visual interest and allow for quick adjustments during the shoot. Think cardigans, vests, scarves, or jackets. They're especially handy for outdoor sessions where the weather can be unpredictable.
👟 Mind the Details: Shoes and Accessories
Shoes matter! Opt for clean, coordinated footwear that complements your outfits. Accessories like necklaces, headbands, or subtle jewelry can enhance your look, but avoid anything too flashy that might steal the spotlight like caps or big watches.
📸 Final Thoughts
Your family photos are about capturing genuine moments and connections. By choosing outfits that reflect your family's personality and ensuring everyone feels comfortable, you're setting the stage for beautiful, timeless images.
