What to Wear: Wardrobe Guidelines for Your Family Photography Session in Boston

Everyone always wants to know what to wear on a photoshoot. I’ll include a few resources for you in this post. I’ll also weigh in on some popular suggestions. If you’re still unsure about your outfits for your next family photography session, contact me! I’m always happy to talk it out with you.

What Colors Look Good on You?

Pantone recently weighed in on what colors compliment different skin tones. You can find out more about that here. Some colors looks best with cool skin tomes while others look better with warm skin tones. Your skin tone is your co-pilot. 

What Is Your Skin Tone?

Finding what colors match your skin tone assume you truly know what your skin tone is. Allure weighs in on how to gauge your skin tone. For me, looking at the color of my veins really helped!

Color Reflects on Your Skin

Now, you’ve identified your skin tone and found the optimal colors for your skin. But here’s a caveat for photo sessions: the colors you wear reflect back onto your skin. Bright green might add a fun pop of color into your wardrobe, but can cast onto your skin tone in an unpleasant way. I suggest wearing more photo-friendly, subdued colors in the neutral palette to your next family photography session. 

Bringing All of the Colors Together

Your family will want to wear complimentary colors without overtly matching. Too many colors and patterns can detract from your family photos. Even bright white can stand out in a picture. Find a neutral color palette that your whole family can enjoy. Just as too many clashing colors can detract attention from your family’s faces and warm embraces, so can exact matching outfits. Let your wardrobe bring out the best in your family!

Wear What you Love

Your personality will shine through when you wear your favorite clothes. When you’re happy, it shows in your photographs! This is especially true for kiddos.

Let Kids Be Kids

You can urge your children to wear the clothes you want them to wear, but ultimately, they may be in a better mood if they get to wear one of their favorite outfits.

Everyone Should be Comfortable

While a family photography session is a special occasion, wear comfortable clothes that let you move around. We won’t be standing still in one place but you’ll want to make sure that your clothing does.

Plan Ahead

Adults, plan your outfits ahead of time. Kids might make last minute decisions and that’s ok! Try to give them two options to steer them in the right direction.

The Moral of These Family Wardrobe Guidelines

All of my families make their own, unique wardrobe decisions based on their style and comfort. Some of these wardrobes included strong color choices and patterns and the resulting pictures were fabulous! Don’t let these guidelines deter you from being you! And don’t overthink it. Let’s review some basics:

Choose colors that look good on you

Veer away from bright colors (including white!) and strong patterns

Choose a color palette that al of your family wears

Wear what you love

Let your kids choose from one or two of their favorite outfits you’ve picked for them

Be comfortable that what you wear won’t impede your movements

Set aside your wardrobe a few days ahead of time

Have fun with it!

Don't miss the Kindle Countdown for The Color of Light by Helen Maryles Shankman! Only $.99 cents through April 18th!

At the American Academy of Classical Art, popular opinion has it that the school's handsome and mysterious founder, Raphael Sinclair, is a vampire. It is a rumor Rafe does nothing to dispel.

Scholarship student Tessa Moss has long dreamed of the chance to study at Rafe's Academy. But she is floundering amidst the ups and downs of a relationship with egotistical art star Lucian Swain.

Then, one of Tessa's sketches catches Rafe's attention: a drawing of a young woman in 1930s clothing who is covering the eyes of a child. The suitcase at her feet says Wizotsky. Sofia Wizotsky, the love of Rafe's life, was lost during the Holocaust. Or was she? Rafe suspects Tessa may be the key to discovering what really happened.

As Rafe finds excuses to interact with Tessa, they quickly discover they cannot deny their growing attraction to one another. It is an attraction forbidden by the Academy Board and disapproved of by anyone familiar with Rafe's playboy reputation and Tessa's softhearted innocence. But what if fate has other plans for Tessa and Rafe? What if they break all rules to succumb to a passion that defies history?

“Enchanting page turner...a poignant love story that brings us into the lives of Manhattan art students, Holocaust victims, and vampires. That Shankman can blend fact and fiction and make it all ring true is a testament to her fine writing...The writing and sensory descriptions painted in this book are beautiful, with twists and turns in the plot that will keep readers captivated until the final page.” --The Jewish Standard

“Shankman’s ability to blend fact with fantasy, and make it sound so real, is a testament to her soulful writing. She brings readers into the art studio – from the smell of turpentine, to the joy of bringing life to an empty white canvas — and shows us Rembrandts, Vermeers and Da Vincis. The elegant writing and sensory descriptions in this book, along with the fabulous plot twists will keep readers enchanted until the end.” --The Times of Israel

“This book had me from the start and pulled me along for the ride...There's drama. There is mystery. There are vampires. There are head strong and ferocious women!...This book has so many delicate yet strong threads woven together to make up what can only be called a beautiful, intelligent, and romantic story.” --Must Read Faster Blog

“Shankman swept me up with the tender melancholy of her story...The Color of Light is an ambitious novel, combining art, vampires, and one of the darkest chapters in our history. It’s a book unlike any I’ve read and I highly recommend it.” --Book-alicious Mama Blog
