FAMILY STYLING GUIDE
Styling That Feels Natural, Comfortable, and Timeless
The best outfits are the ones that allow you to move, connect, and feel like yourself. Comfort always photographs better than perfection.
Overall Styling Philosophy
Bare feet at home, cozy layers, and clothing that allows movement are always welcome.
Soft neutrals and earth tones photograph beautifully
Avoid logos, bold graphics, and neon colors
Choose texture over pattern (linen, knits, denim)
Coordinate colors rather than matching outfits exactly
Styling for Adults
Casual but polished pieces work best
Neutral shoes photograph well
Layers add depth and visual interest
Minimal accessories keep the focus on connection
If something feels uncomfortable, it will show — choose pieces you can relax in.
For women and girls, flowy dresses & skirts tend to add beautiful movement to your images. Ensure that they have a longer hemline so you don’t have to worry about keeping them down.
Professional Hair & Makeup Accessorize!!!
Getting hair & makeup professionally done is always a great idea for giving you a little extra confidence boost! This is your special day to feel extra beautiful in front of the camera. Also, feel free to add some pop to your photos with accessories, such as bracelets, earrings, a hat, or belt.
Styling for Kids
Clothes they can move and play in
Soft fabrics and neutral tones
Simple shoes or barefoot when appropriate
Bring a backup outfit just in case
Kids don’t need to look “perfect” — they need to feel comfortable.
