What should we wear for our family photos?

When I photograph your family, I want you to be you. I don’t expect you to buy new outfits. In all honesty, I just want you to feel like yourself. Obviously I want you to feel good and look back on your family photos with fond memories, so if that does mean new outfits then that’s totally fine. If you aren’t sure what you all want to wear for your family photography session, I suggest choosing a couple complimentary colours that tie in nicely together so that you can all match in without look too matchy matchy. If you’re thinking of all wearing white t-shirts and jeans… then I might not be the family photographer you!

As your family photographer it is important to me, that your family photos really reflect who you are. If you don’t normally wear boho flowing dresses, don’t feel like you need to for your family photos. If you do, then great! Wear what you like and what you’re all comfortable in. One of my favourite family photography shoots was with a little boy who wanted to wear his Christmas PJ’s for their in home family session. It was not Christmas time. But his parents went with it and I feel like this really helps reflect his little personality and that time in their life, when these little people have very strong opinions about (strange) things.

I’ve also done plenty of family photography shoots where clothes are changed multiple times - weather it be from toilet training accidents, kids deciding they want to be superman for a while or playing in the sprinkler with no clothes at all!

So I guess, ultimately, the answer to the question - for me - is wear whatever you like. The photos are about the people in them, not the clothes you're wearing. And if you feel 100% you in the photos then that's all I ask for.
