What to wear, I hear you ask.

Do you worry about how to style yourself & your little ones for a photography session? Well I have you covered, here are a few tips to help. I am also here for my clients every step of the way so you can chat to me about your styling too.



Coordinate, Don't Match

Pick a color palette (e.g., neutrals, pastels, earth tones, or jewel tones).

  • Mix and match shades within the same family instead of everyone wearing the exact same color.
  • Avoid busy patterns or logos that can be distracting.

Stick to Classic & Timeless Outfits

  • Solid colors and simple patterns work best.
  • Avoid trendy or overly bright clothing that may look dated in a few years.
  • Choose well-fitted clothing that flatters each person.

Consider the Background & Studio Setting

  • If the background is white or light-colored, opt for deeper tones (navy, forest green, burgundy).
  • For darker backgrounds, lighter or pastel tones can create contrast.

Layer & Texture Add Depth

  • Sweaters, cardigans, or scarves add variety without looking cluttered.
  • Soft fabrics like cotton, linen, or knits work well for a cozy and natural look.

Keep Shoes & Accessories Simple

  • Neutral shoes that complement outfits.
  • Minimal jewelry to keep the focus on faces.
  • If kids are involved, avoid shoes with characters or flashing lights.

Grooming & Final Touches

  • Make sure clothes are ironed and fit well.
  • Hair should be neat but natural. Bring a brush for touch-ups.
  • Keep makeup natural and soft unless you want a more polished look.
