Hey there, Families!
So, I've been getting a lot of questions about what to wear for family photos during those adorable newborn sessions. I thought it would be super helpful to whip up a little prep guide to make your newborn session a breeze!
What Makes Good Outfits for Family Photos?
When it comes to capturing beautiful family photos, it’s not about wearing the latest trends or designer brands—it’s all about thoughtful color coordination. The key to truly great family portraits is making sure the focus stays on your faces and the connections you share, rather than on distracting elements like bold or mismatched colors.
If one family member wears bright red while everyone else is in soft neutrals, that red will naturally pull attention away from the rest of the group—especially from a newborn in delicate pastels. Our goal is to highlight the love and connection in your family, not just the outfits. That’s why simplicity and harmony in color choices can make all the difference.
Keeping the Focus on What Matters
A great question I often get is: How do we make sure our faces really shine in the photos? The answer? Lighting! One of the best things about studio photography is the ability to shape and control light. With over 20 years of experience in studio lighting—and more than eight years perfecting my signature style at Together Nest Studio—I know exactly how to bring out the warmth and emotion in your portraits.
