One of the toughest decisions to make when it comes to photo shoots with groups is what to wear for your family photo session and how to coordinate colors and patterns in your wardrobe. Maybe your family was the one that always opted for the same color polos, so veering away seems challenging! It’s actually very simple to get a group coordinated.
Here are 6 simple tips to help you get started.
1. Pick a color palette, not a single color. For example, a blue/orange palette: blues (dark, light) oranges or coral, and some denim look well together in this grouping. Not every family member has to have all of the colors in their outfits, but make sure everyone blends with each other slightly so everything pulls together.
2. Don’t have too many patterns. One or two in the group is fine, like stripes on a skirt, or something simple like that, but the more patterns, the less put together you look! Too many patterns can also distract from the people.
3. Try and have similar styles. Either choose a nicer, button-up classy look, or maybe have everyone in a more relaxed t-shirt and jeans style, but try to keep consistent.
4. If you are still having trouble choosing a color scheme, look around your house at the décor. When you hang the picture of your family on your wall, what are the colors in that room? Choose colors that coordinate with the surroundings / décor around your house.
5. Pinterest is a great way to get ideas and see how others have coordinated their looks. You can even look up outfit ideas by color. Check out my what to wear pinterest board here for inspiration!
6. Mom should ALWAYS plan her outfit first and build the rest of the family's wardrobe around what she has selected. Remember, if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!
A while back (several months actually) I spent a chilly afternoon with one of my dear friends and her super adorable family. Oh these little men melt my heart! And the faces they both make are just to die for!
Sweet little LaRue recently turned ONE! She came to visit me on her birthday and we had our own little cake smash session! It was so much fun and this cute baby girl makes the greatest faces, she had me laughing the entire time! I can't wait to watch this little ham grow up!

Here is a family that has been with me from the very beginning! I was there for little man Carson's birth story, newborn photos and recently he celebrated his FIRST Birthday! Nothing warms my heart more than being able to capture all those precious milestones for my families! I will never grow tired of taking this family's portraits!
Happy birthday Carson!

Meet the Yeager family! Recently I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable trio, soon to be a quartet! Mama is expecting another beautiful baby girl in December! Sister, Kylie, is over the moon excited and anxious for her baby sister to make her appearance. I too can't wait to meet her!
Congratulations Yeager family!

What little girl wouldn't love the chance to play dress up in her mother's wedding gown? The opportunity to put on a beautiful dress can make a girl feel like such a princess, and what a wonderful keepsake to give your daughter on her wedding day years down the road!
Chevelle and her mother came to my studio and put on her mother's dress. The moments we captured over the next hour are priceless treasures.
This is a great alternative to a trash the dress session. So, Brides, SAVE your wedding dress and perhaps one day you will have a daughter to play dress up with!
Don't wait for your child to grow up! Create these memories now to cherish for years to come! Contact the studio to schedule a session for your daughter!

What is a 1st birthday without a cake smash session?! Little Lachlan came to visit me in the studio a couple weeks ago to document his first year milestone and we had so much fun! He is so handsome and such a doll! This was also his first experience with cake and I'm afraid to ask his mama how messy those diapers were after so much sugar! He loved it and was so quick to stick his little fingers in the frosting that I didn't even have time snap a photo of the cute little cake itself. Thanks to the Cake Cottage for such an adorable piece of edible art!
Happy First Birthday Lachlan!
xoxo,
Carrie
