I might wear my pink Speedo. I think I should.

 

That's probably not on the top of my list of recommendations! However, the question that springs to most people's minds after booking a photo session is "What should I/ we wear?" It’s a valid question.

 

So here is my advice...for family shoots pick out two or three of your favourite outfits for each member of the family. You know the outfits I’m talking about. The ones that scream your little boy’s name or your little girls favourite t-shirt that makes her daddy's heart melt. Plus the jeans that make your butt look super hot! It's also a good idea to avoid strong patterns and tops with words on.

 

Once you have everyones outfits pick which ones go together the best. I don’t neccessarily mean all white shirts and blue jeans but maybe stick with all bright colours or all earth tones.  Clothes that go together but don’t match. This helps to make your images look more natural and everyone feel more comfortable. 

 

As far as pirate hats and tutus are concerned if that's who your child is then bring them along! Let's have some fun :) One day you might regret not having some great pictures of little Johnny wielding a sword and eye patch.

 

In the end the right thing is to just be you. Don’t wear a dress unless that’s who you are. Don’t put your hubby in a tie unless that’s who he is. If you stick to that then you can’t really go wrong!
