EASY TIPS TO LOOK AMAZINg

You’ve booked your session (yay!), and now you’re staring into your closet thinking, “What are we all going to wear?” Don’t stress — I’ve got you. Styling your family doesn’t have to be hard, and with a few simple tips, your photos will look polished, natural, and beautiful.
Whether we’re shooting at a golden Utah field or at a temple, here’s how to dress your family with confidence.

Dress It Up

There’s really no such thing as being “too fancy” for photos. In fact, dressier outfits stand out and photograph beautifully. Think flowy dresses, soft textures, and button-up shirts — they add a timeless and elevated feel. When in doubt, overdress just a little. It always looks stunning.

Avoid the “Matchy-Matchy” Look


Gone are the days of everyone in white T-shirts and jeans. Instead, go for coordinated, not identical. Choose a color palette and work around it. If you want to use prints, limit it to just one or two family members to keep things balanced and visually interesting.

Choose 2–3 Coordinating Colors


Pick two to three main colors that look good together and mix in neutral tones (like cream, tan, or gray). Think soft sage green + blush + warm ivory. Or navy + mustard + camel. This gives variety, while keeping everything cohesive.

💡 Bonus Tips

  • Textures > logos. Chunky knits, linen, lace, and soft cottons photograph well.
  • Shoes matter! Avoid bright sneakers — neutral shoes or barefoot is best for toddlers.
  • Think movement. Dresses with flow always add that magic touch in photos.
  • Utah weather changes fast — layers are your best friend, especially in the fall.
