Wardrobe guide for a family lifestyle session

What should I wear?

You should totally wear something comfy that makes you feel good. Seriously, life’s too short to stress over matching outfits or those itchy new dresses. Just think about what you’d love to see yourself rocking in a photo you’d frame at home.

Here’s some chill advice:
1. Coordinate, Don’t Match:
Skip the matching outfits. Instead, pick colours that blend well together. And maybe steer clear of super bright colours—that way, people will focus on your lovely smile, not just your dress!

2. Think About the Location:
Consider the background: If you’re heading to a beautiful green park, maybe skip the green outfit so you don’t blend in!

3. Comfort is Key:
Make sure your clothes are comfy: You could be walking, sitting, or even chilling on the ground for some shots. Go for fabrics that breathe easily, especially if it’s a hot day.

4. Check the Weather:
Dress for the weather: If it’s chilly, grab some layers and cosy sweaters.

5. Layers and Textures:
Layering can make your photos pop: Consider adding a cute scarf, cardigan, or jacket that goes well with your outfit. Mixing different textures, like knitwear or denim, gives it visual flair.

6. Avoid Busy Patterns:
Stay away from crazy-large patterns or logos: They can distract in photos. Go for simpler designs or solid colours.

7. Timeless Over Trendy:
Opt for classic styles instead of super trendy looks: You want your photos to look fab now and down the line. Timeless outfits tend to look better in photos over the years.

8. Pay Attention to Shoes:
Pick the right shoes: If you’ll be walking on uneven ground, comfy shoes or boots are the way to go. High heels might not be the best for grass or park vibes. No clogs or flip flops, though! Remember, the shoes will show up in your pictures and should match your outfit.

9. Personal Style Shines Through:
Let your personality show: Wear stuff that reflects who you are. When you feel comfy and confident, it totally shines through in the pics.

10. Pay Attention to Grooming:
Grooming matters: Make sure your hair and makeup are styled just how you like them.

Just remember, the most important thing is to feel comfy and confident in whatever you choose to wear. When you feel good, it totally shows in the photos, giving off that relaxed, easy vibe for your session.
