WHAT TO WEAR

Your outfits should feel like you—just thoughtfully brought together. Instead of matching everyone exactly, choose colors that complement one another and allow each person’s personality to show. Soft neutrals, earthy colors, gentle patterns, and beautiful textures pair perfectly with my warm, timeless photography style.

COORDINATING YOUR FAMILY

Begin with one favorite outfit and build everyone else around it. Choose three or four coordinating colors, mix solid pieces with one subtle pattern, and add texture through linen, knits, denim, corduroy, or flowing fabric. Cream, oatmeal, camel, sage, olive, dusty blue, muted rose, mauve, rust, burgundy, and soft denim all photograph beautifully.

SPRING & SUMMER

Choose light, breathable fabrics and softly colorful tones that feel natural against greenery and wildflowers. Cream, sage, dusty blue, muted rose, and warm tan create a light and timeless look without washing everyone out.

FALL

Fall is perfect for rich color and cozy texture. Deep olive, camel, cream, rust, burgundy, dark denim, knits, corduroy, and simple layers create warmth and depth without making everyone look overly matched.

MATERNITY

Choose something that gently defines your shape and allows for movement. Flowing dresses, soft fabrics, solid colors, and longer lengths photograph beautifully and add a romantic feel. Partners and children look best in simple coordinating neutrals that keep the focus on you and your growing family.

SENIORS

Bring outfits that show different sides of who you are. A relaxed everyday look, something a little dressier, and one outfit that feels especially personal will give your gallery plenty of variety. Jackets, boots, hats, jewelry, and meaningful accessories can add personality without taking attention away from you.

MOVEMENT & TEXTURE

Movement brings photographs to life. Flowing midi or maxi dresses, full skirts, soft sleeves, and fabrics that catch the breeze create beautiful movement and make candid moments feel even more magical.

Texture adds warmth and depth without making outfits feel busy. Linen, cotton gauze, knits, corduroy, denim, eyelet, lace, ribbed fabric, and velvet all photograph beautifully and pair perfectly with my warm, timeless style.

COORDINATE WITHOUT MATCHING

Begin with one favorite piece—often Mom’s dress—and build everyone else’s outfits around it. Choose three or four complementary colors, use one soft pattern, and pull those colors into everyone else’s solid pieces. Mixing lighter, medium, and deeper tones gives the photographs more dimension than dressing everyone in the same shade.

Layers such as cardigans, overshirts, jackets, and textured sweaters add interest and can easily be removed for more variety. Finish the look with simple neutral shoes in brown, tan, cream, or taupe.

KEEP IT COMFORTABLE

Choose clothing that fits well and allows everyone to move, sit, play, and snuggle comfortably. Try to avoid neon colors, large logos, character shirts, athletic fabrics, extremely busy patterns, and identical matching outfits. The goal is to feel beautifully coordinated while still looking like yourselves

A FEW THINGS TO AVOID

Try to avoid neon colors, large logos, character shirts, extremely busy patterns, athletic fabrics, and dressing everyone in the exact same color. Clean, neutral shoes are always a beautiful finishing touch. Most importantly, choose clothing that fits comfortably and allows you to move, laugh, and love on your people.

When in doubt, choose timeless over trendy and coordinated over perfectly matched.
