What to wear for your session | Lake Charles Family Portrait Photography

I get questions all the time about what to wear, so I thought I'd make a post to give you some ideas. Lots of people envision white shirts and jeans. Let's get past that! Color is wonderful! Use it! One thing to keep in mind is to coordinate your family colors. Don't be afraid to mix them up, but keep in mind not to clash. Take a look at a few clothing websites like Old Navy or Gap for ideas. They usually come out with new lines every few months. These lines are usually geared to coordinate family outfits together, so be sure to look at girls, boys, babies, women, men, etc to get ideas. Do you need to go out and buy new outfits? You could, but it's not necessary. Just take a look and get ideas of what goes together. Casual is best! Khakis or jeans are usually a great idea for boys and dads. Something similar for girls and moms would be great, but don't be afraid to put in a skirt or dress in the mix there. Love Converse for kids and dads! Keep in mind that your shoes WILL show sometimes, so make sure they're something you don't mind looking at for years to come. Here's a few ideas I picked up from Gap.com.
