Family picture outfits. Taking family pictures is such a great way to memorialize moments that you wish could last forever! Despite the sometimes stressful nature of it – you know, making sure everyone is actually looking at the camera, nobody’s blinking, etc. – doing a family photo shoot is such a fun experience and the perfect occasion to get dressed up. Don’t waste any time stressing about what everyone is going to wear though.
Here at Outfit Trends, we’re going to help make it easy on you with a whole article full of great outfits for the whole family!
How To Dress For Family Photoshoot
Let’s get started with some tips:
- Having a colour scheme is a good idea but its definitely not essential.
- If you’re not going for a color theme, make sure that everyone’s outfits complement each other.
- Try to have an outdoor photo shoot in the day time with a nice background and lighting as your outfit will look best this way.
- Choose an outfit that looks flattering on you and it should be a little more dressy than your everyday clothes.
- If the photoshoot is with young kids or babies, don’t have very high expectations and try to keep the outfit and hairstyle minimal so it’s easily manageable, you might be in for a long day after all.
- It’s always a good idea to wear something that has a special value for you, for example, an engagement ring or a special accessory that your partner gifted to you.
↓ 15 – Family Photoshoot At The Beach
The beach is definitely one of the most popular destinations for photos. It makes the perfect background but of course, you need to dress accordingly. Go for simple, fuss-free outfits, especially if you have kids with you. The colors of the outfits need to be decided according to the time of the shoot and the colors of the beach. White is definitely a winner when it comes to outfits for beach photoshoots.
↓ 14 – What to Wear for a Fall Family Photoshoot
What better time of year to take family photos than when everything is awash in warm tones of red and gold, lending enviable aestheticism to photographs and portraits? Autumn signals the time of harvest and nearing approach of everyone’s favorite holidays. It’s also the perfect time to snap those Instagram-ready family pictures!
With these looks, notice how the overall color scheme melds together. A mom wears a warm, gold-brown dress, complemented by her husband’s rustic-inspired checkered flannel shirt. The little kiddos wear soft shades of grays, blues, and charcoal. The overall effect is warm, autumnal, and wonderfully aesthetic.
For the mama, it’s all about a long, draping dress, loose hair, and a single accessory – a gold clavicle necklace. For the papa, sturdy blue jeans are paired with a flannel shirt checkered with dark red and charcoal gray squares. For a toddler boy, a chunky white cardigan and chino pants make up the main ensemble, as well as some adorable creamy brown booties. For a toddler girl, a pale blue knit dress is paired with gray tights and precious little moccasins. You can get more ideas from these Fall outfits for men and women.

We love this father-son duo wearing matching dress shirts and stylish ties. And this Mommy-Daughter pair is just to die for.

Some gorgeous black shoes finish off the look, as well as a stylish combed-over ‘do. For the mama, a knee-length, v-neck dress flows in all the right places and cinches at the waist with a wraparound-style skirt. For baby girl, a bright orange dress brings out the orange flecks in her mama’s dress and is paired with some durable (but also adorable) little black slip-on shoes. (Peep Mama’s black heels as well!) Last but not least is this little guy’s cute get-up of a white shirt, blue tie, and dress shoes. Can’t go wrong with that!
