When coordinating clothing for your family session,
Try to consider the decor, color scheme, and “feel” of your home when selecting your family's clothing. This is helpful for planning wall portrait displays. It is best to avoid trying to match everyone's clothing. Instead consider coordinating clothing and colors within the same color palette. Soft colors and creams are recommended over white and black. A handy trick for those who are hesitant to break away from matching everyone's clothing is to choose one patterned item for a child and various solid colors that compliment the print. Once you have your basic pieces together, start adding in additional items and accessories for variety. Layering clothing and accessories is a fun way to add dimension and texture to the feel of your portraits. This can be achieved using scarves, cute jackets/sweaters, and adorable hats.
