Photoshoot is a memory.
When we are going to a photoshoot with the children, everybody wears nice clothes and preparing for it as for a holiday (this is really a holiday). You can wear the family into completely different colors in case of your regular holiday — blue, red, yellow and orange. But in case of photoshoot it is quite important to have a common style.
This is all because our eyes read a combination of 1 to 3 colors much better than all the variety of colors at the same time.
What to wear for the family photoshoot?
✔ Combining color
Pick one combining color that would join the whole family together — eg. red sneakers, scarf, etc. — could be just one piece of clothes that would have same or similar color.
✔ One to three colors in clothes
Try to have no more than three colors in your photoshoot clothes. One style if you keep to an evening dress-code, no reason to mix it with casual style like jeans. But if you’re wearing sweater or t-shirts jeans would fit best of all.
What clothes to avoid?
✖ Bright prints, colorfulness.
These are the things that do not fit well for this kind of photoshoot: clothes with abundance of prints, big flowers on dresses, a lot of text and prints on t-shirts. Small sized flowers on a dress or partially decorated dresses are quite ok.
✖ Checked clothes and thin striped clothes
Avoid clothes with checked clothes or thin striped clothes — this will flicker in the eyes when looking at the photo.
✖ Combining different styles
Avoid combining different styles of clothes like parents wearing smart casual while children wearing sport clothes.
