Warm weather is still in full swing but you know what’s coming? Fall! And with fall comes all the cozy things and there is also one thing many families are thinking about. Should we do family photos this year?! If this is a question you are asking yourself, I want to share why showing up in styled outfits for family photos is important.

The busy family photo season is officially here; late summer through fall.

It’s my goal as a wardrobe stylist, fashion expert and style connoisseur to help you trim 50% off the mental load that comes with family photos, much of that having to do with the woes of “what are we all going to wear?!!!!”

With that, I’m sharing five compelling reasons why showing up with styled outfits for family photos is important AND why investing in virtual wardrobe styling for your family is worth it.

Let’s dive in!

1. Coordinated Look

I’ll suggest color palettes, patterns and styles that harmonize well together, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the photos found in your own shoppable Digital Style Guide! It’s also my goal, for the clothing selections to be pieces you can not only wear for the photoshoot but also incorporate in your everyday life. Getting the most mileage out of your wardrobe is important!

2. Save You Time

Planning outfits for a family photoshoot can be time-consuming and stressful. I’ll virtually style your family and send you a custom shoppable Digital Style Guide so you can shop each look with ease so you show up outfit ready!

3. Attention To Detail

I’ll make sure every aspect of the wardrobe, from clothing sizes to accessories, is carefully considered so you show up looking and feeling your best.

4. Confidence Boost

Showing up wardrobe ready boosts confidence during the photoshoot. When you feel comfortable and confident in your clothing, it translates into more natural and relaxed expressions.

5. Stunning Photos

Wardrobe styling elevates the quality of family photos, creating images that you’ll cherish for years to come. When you show up with styled outfits for family photos that compliment eachother when it comes to color, pattern and texture, you will come away with AMAZING photos you love. The more intentional you are the better the result!

My advice, don’t avoid outfit styling until a few weeks or days before the photoshoot only to still be thinking, “shoot – I still don’t have outfits and still don’t know what everyone is wearing!”

There is a better way, a way to help you get it right ahead of time so you aren’t scrambling at the last second running to Target hoping you’ll find something (and hopefully in everyone’s sizes…).

Let’s get in touch and I’ll help you and your family show up outfit ready so you not only look your best but feel your best – and that my friends is 100% worth it.
