Family Portrait Outfiting



As you begin planning your families outfits 
consider these 3 questions.  

1.  Do you feel strongly about matching your home decor?   2.  Is there colors that look best on you and your family?  3.  What is the personality of your family (sporty, trendy, dressy, casual)?

Here are 3 easy methods to plan outfits 
for your family portrait.  

Find one piece of clothing that includes the colors you would like to use.   Plan the rest of the outfits around that piece.  Here are some examples...


Here I chose this darling red, pink and green girly dress and planning the other outfits around the color scheme. 

 Here they coordinated their colors around that adorable skirt.

 Here they coordinated their colors around the little guys red, blue and gray shirt. 


 Here they coordinated their colors around the littlest sweeties top.  It had purple, orange and a touch of lime green.  

Choose a color season of colors or a theme of colors.  For example fall colors, bright colors or spring pastels.

Choose 2 or 3 colors to use in every outfit.  It's a little easier if you choose a basic color like tan, denim or black and then add your colors.

Here I chose denim, teal and blue.

Here is an example of the real thing.  Notice they purchased the same teal polo for the majority of the little boys.  This really helped pull the look together with this big group.

Here is another example of denim, teal and and blue.  Notice that the oldest and youngest boy are wearing the same polo, however, the youngest is wearing a blazer.  A clever way of matching but mixing it up at the same time.


Here they chose denim and white.  They also added yellow flowers.  What a fun way to add interest and pull the image together.

Enjoy the hunt for the perfect outfits!!
