ahhh...yes...the wardrobe. I want you to be comfortable and feel like yourselves, but here are a few tips.
* Think muted colors.
Avoid overly saturated and bold colors, as they distract in the photo. Look for MUTED versions of the same color. For example, if you have a bright hot pink shirt, try a muted dusty rose instead.
*Coordinate, don’t match.
Gone are the days when everyone wears matching white polos and khakis for family photos on the beach. Choose colors that complement each other but are not overly matchy-matchy. For example, avoid wearing the same color top as your spouse or putting your girls in the same matching dresses.
*After mom’s outfit is chosen, begin to find 2-3 coordinating colors that complement.
* Add variety with subtle patterns.
They say that variety is the spice of life right? To add depth and interest to your photos, create dimension by having primarily solids with a few coordinating subtle patterns and textures. Patterns are great in small doses and add a lot of your photo. Avoid bold, large prints that can distract from the photo though. You want your family photos to be about you and not merely your outfits.
*Layers are another way to add variety with cardigans, shawls, scarves, etc.
