Professional photos capture a moment in your family’s life. In a photo shoot, the right children’s clothing can make all the difference in creating attractive pictures. Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you choose outfits for your family.

Do:

Use complementary colors.

To create cohesive but visually interesting pictures, select outfits that are similar but not the same. For example, everyone could wear pastel colors, like yellow or light blue, or denim. If you select outfits in the same color, pick slightly different shades for contrast.

Be mindful of your home decor.

When picking what colors to wear, consider the decor in the area where you will display the photos. Ideally, the outfits will complement the color scheme of the room to ensure the new addition will blend seamlessly with the rest of the house. Pick an accent color from your accessories, such as decorative pillows or an area rug, and bring it into the outfits of the family.

Don’t:

Choose distracting patterns and designs.

Character T-shirts or extreme prints can make a photo look busy and distract the viewer from the people. Choose solid colors for shirts or children’s clothing with subtle patterns for the best results.

Forget about children’s accessories.

Accessories add some extra color and personality to your family photos. Bow ties and hair bows can make your kids look even cuter. Consider seasonal accessories that would work well with the current weather, such as big knit scarves or hair accessories in floral patterns.
