Coordinating the family's outfits for a session can be overwhelming, but it's easier than you think. Each of your individual personalities should shine through these portraits with what you’re wearing. You will want to think about coordinating, but you don't all have to match exactly. Different colors and textures add visual interest, and they also make your photos look more true-to-life. Check out the samples below for inspiration. You never walk down the street in matching white t-shirts and jeans, so why start now?!

Relax! More often than not there is at least one family member who isn't necessarily comfortable in front of the camera. You don’t want to look back at these pictures and remember that. In 20 years you’ll just want to think about the wonderful memories from that time in your life. Family is forever, as are these portraits.
