What to Wear For Spring Family Photos

It’s time for some inspiration for what to wear for spring family photos! Pin it, share it, tuck it away for our next session, or just ogle and enjoy.

I love the neutral color pallet of blue with crisp white and gray tones but it can look too cool in photos. To warm it up, I added blush as a main color with camel and gold accents, which look fantastic on all skin tones.

Layering is important when choosing what to wear for family photos and it’s often overlooked. With the color pallet chosen, I decided to keep the look minimal and go light on layering. For this what to wear, I chose belts and a hat to add extra pop and polish the look.

I’m not saying you need to look exactly like this. If you already have ideas, that is perfectly fine. This is meant to be used for inspiration. At the end of the day, it’s really not about the clothing. I’m going to be capturing your FAMILY and that’s the most important thing. So don’t stress, just have fun with it!
