Picking what to wear for Fall Family Photo Session in Charlotte, NC is one of the most challenging parts of preparing for your session. What colors photograph well? Should you all match? Will the outfits work with the location?

Instead of making this your problem, why not leave it to your photographer?

This is exactly why I’ve curated a body-inclusive Studio Wardrobe for my families. I have dresses for moms, and clothing for kiddos size 0–13 years. You don’t have to worry about shopping or coordinating outfits. Simply arrive the day of your session with extra time set aside for us to style your family. It’s one of the reasons clients continue to choose me—they love playing dress-up and not having to do the laundry!

Just as I carefully choose the locations that produce the images you love, I know exactly what photographs best. What you wear can elevate your images—or distract from the connection we’re trying to capture.

I always recommend neutral, simple colors and tones so the focus stays on your family, not your outfits.

Fad clothing, bright saturated colors, loud patterns, or extremely dark outfits can dramatically change the look and feel of your session. My advice? Keep it light and airy.

Colors that look great: cream, white, beige, gray, tan, and muted tones like soft pinks, coral, sage, or rust.

You can also layer clothing and add texture through knits, linens, gauze, or corduroy to bring subtle dimension to your images.

Let your wardrobe enhance your photos, not compete with them.
