What Colors to Wear for Family Photos - Color Scheme Ideas
Spring is almost here, and I already feel happier and inspired! Family photoshoots amidst the blooming flowers and warmer breeze of spring are my favorite things in the world. Every photo is so beautiful. But wait, wondering what you should wear for your spring family session? Don't worry, I've got you covered. Let's talk about some easy-peasy tips for dressing up for those picture-perfect moments in Boston's beautiful springtime.
Layer Up for Boston's Unpredictable Weather: Now, we all know Boston can be a bit moody when it comes to weather. One moment it's sunny, the next it's breezy. So, layering is your best friend! Start with a light, breathable base like a cotton shirt or a flowy blouse. Then, add a cute cardigan or a stylish jacket that you can easily take off if it gets warmer.
Go for Soft, Pastel Colors: Spring is all about those soft, dreamy colors that perfectly complement the blooming flowers and fresh greenery. Think pastel blues, pinks, yellows, and greens. These colors not only look great against Boston's scenic backdrop but also give your photos a refreshing vibe.
Coordinate, Don't Match: Gone are the days of everyone wearing the exact same outfit for family photos. Instead, aim for coordination. Pick a color palette (like soft pastels or earthy tones) and let everyone choose their outfits within that palette. This way, you'll have a cohesive look without looking too matchy-matchy.
Comfort is Key: Let's be real, nobody wants to spend hours in uncomfortable clothing just for the sake of a photoshoot. So, prioritize comfort! Opt for breathable fabrics that allow you to move freely, especially if you have little ones who love to run around.
Accessorize Wisely: Accessories can take your outfit from "meh" to "wow" in no time. But remember, less is more. Choose one or two statement pieces like a cute scarf, a stylish hat, or a dainty necklace to add some personality to your ensemble without overwhelming the look.
Mind Your Shoes: Ah, the age-old dilemma: what shoes to wear? For outdoor photoshoots in Boston's springtime, opt for comfortable footwear that can handle a bit of walking. Flats, sandals, or stylish sneakers are your best bet. Leave those stilettos at home unless you want to sink into the grass!
Consider the Location: Take your location into account when choosing your outfits. For example, if you're shooting in a park, you might want to opt for more casual, relaxed attire.
Remember, the most important thing is to feel confident and comfortable in what you're wearing. After all, the best family photos capture genuine moments and emotions, not just perfectly curated outfits. So, dress up, have fun, and create beautiful memories with your loved ones during the most beautiful season in Boston. Click HERE to book your spring family session with me.
