You are about to have a great time with your family. With stars in my eyes, I can already hear your bursts of laughter and your bodies shaking very, very hard. I can't wait to see you again for your session!

You are probably wondering “How should you dress for your family photoshoot?” Here are some answers.

 

How to dress for a family photo shoot?

Your session is coming up and you have a lot of questions about it. What a place, what outfits to wear... Don't worry, I answer all your questions on this page. And if any information is missing, contact me. 😉

 

To optimiser rendering of your photo shoot, it is important to choose clothes that will make you stand out. The judicious use of your wardrobe can really influence the style of your portraits.

here are some Tricks to choose your clothes during a photo shoot.

 

The golden rule, be yourself:

Respect your style and personality. Wear clothes that you like and in which you are comfortable, while choosing close-fitting clothes that will show you better than loose clothes whatever your morphology (yes, trust me 😉

Banish loose clothing for a photo shoot!

 

 

What colors of clothes for a family photo shoot?

For a soft and peaceful atmosphere, prefer pastel colors. I strongly advise you to avoid bright colors.

White, beige, blue or very pale pink… are safe bets. They are brighter, softer. We want timeless memories. So let's opt for shades that are equally so.

 

And the black? 

Many women like black. Elegant, it seems that black refines our silhouette. I very often wear black for those reasons.

It's a safe bet, however, it can harden your personality traits. You are radiant and full of life. So let's opt for white or light and solid colors instead! If you want to wear your favorite little black dress, then add a sober and refined jewelry set to give shine to the black.

 

Minimize patterns!

You want to be the star of your photoshoot! Minimize the patterns of your clothes and focus instead on textures. Lace, silk, linen…

 

 

Harmonize

Timeless images that stand the test of time, your changes in decor, furniture or wall colors in your home?

Harmonize soft colors.

What outfit for babies?

A very simple jumpsuit (Zara, H&M or Frangin Frangine type) in solid color or with fine embroidery. A white cotton sweater and pants set – cream …

What outfit for dad?

We play with light colors and avoid patterns. A white shirt is the safe bet par excellence. In winter, a beige or white sweater.

What outfit for mom?

We stay in the sober, elegant and soft but dare the plain or lace dress! Have fun.

What outfit for siblings?

Golden rule number 1 is to stick to soft, light shades. The little white shirt or polo shirt remains my favorite par excellence! Little dress for the ladies, solid colors and pastels again. Preferably.

 

Plan to be as relaxed as possible

Be sure to plan your outfits a few days before your shoot. Here are some general rules for making good decisions:
– Organize your outfits in advance on a large bed, including accessories.
– Make sure all clothes are clean and ironed on hangers a few days before your session.

– Take it as a game. Go around the cabinets together or choose for each other, decide as a family

Frequently asked questions for your photo shoots

How is the session going?

Imagine your session as a family outing. Throughout the session, I will offer you small interactions in order to obtain a natural connection. Your gestures of tenderness and your complicity will express themselves spontaneously. I like to talk with you and I guide you. Sometimes sometimes I will move away by being more discreet. Simply to let you enjoy the moment.

"I'm afraid of not being comfortable."

Reassure, this apprehension is normal. At first shy, you will quickly get into the game. You are yourself and I guide you with kindness.

How long does the session last?

My sessions last 1h30. We spend an average of 2 hours to 2 days together, for your session abroad for family holidays. I admit often, we share a tea party.

Which place to choose for your session?

It is important to choose a place that is close to your heart. A place that makes sense in your family life. I love to bring you family photo shoots at your home. Because that's where you spend most of your time. Outside, we choose a place where you like to walk.

How will our images be delivered?

I invest myself in each step to give you the most beautiful images.

• After a selection and artistic treatment of your photos, I will share a private and secure online gallery.

• You will be able to share and download your photos.

• From your gallery, you can also select the photos you want to see printed or inserted into your album.

How to dress for the photo shoot?

What outfits to wear?

Indulge yourself, as for a gallant appointment. Photography also has its share of aesthetics. Then, it's an experience you don't have every day. So let's mark it.

‎• Find a beautiful harmony between you, match your outfits. A nice game to play.
‎• Favor clear outfits. They bring light. Forget the black!

• To be avoided: logos or inscriptions on sweaters, stripes, checks and colors that are too bright.

‎• Shoes: Your favorite heels! Gentlemen, we prefer dressier shoes. In any case, fluorescent running sneakers and hiking shoes are prohibited. Of course, if we plan to walk, comfortable shoes are allowed, we will alternate when taking the pictures ;-)

What makeover to plan?

• Make-up: I advise you to put on a little make-up even if you are not necessarily used to wearing it. It can be very pretty while remaining natural.

‎‎• Manicure: it is very important to have well-groomed hands, because I take pictures of details. You can wear clear or solid color nail polish.

‎‎• For men: Refresh your haircut and/or beard 2 or 3 days before the session.

Examples of outfits

• Madame: A pretty dress, it suits you so well. A nice jumpsuit, your favorite pants, a nice top and a blazer. Jeans, with a nice shirt, sweater...

• Gentleman: A pretty plain shirt with long sleeves. It's so elegant. You are beautiful enough to make Madame blush. With chinos, nice pants or jeans it will be perfect.

PS: If you can't find this in your cupboards, the photo shoot is often an opportunity to do some shopping. A nice moment that adds to the experience of the session with a romantic shopping trip. ;-)

Are there any accessories required?

• Accessories bring a sophisticated touch to the outfit: jewelry, hat, beanie, scarf, belt... You can!

‎• For photos that won't go out of style over time, basics work well.

• Outdoors: encumber yourself as little as possible. Leave the bags at home if possible. Otherwise, be sure that your photographer will keep it for you.

Is there anything forbidden?

Don't clutter your pockets! Normally I would remind you but please keep your pockets empty. Mobile phones, keys, tissues or sweets. We're not going to make unsightly folds in your pockets. And then, I remind you that the goal is to disconnect from all that. ;-)
