what to wear wednesday

Since I’m headed out of town in the morning and I have a gazillion things to get done before then, I’m sharing a couple of ensembles put together by photographer friends of mine. Enjoy!

Since it’s Wednesday…how about a real-life ‘What to Wear Wednesday?’

I LOOOVE what Wendy picked out for everyone! You’ll notice that the outfits aren’t identical…but nothing clashes and it all coordinates beautifully. Casual, not stuffy, but clearly put together. Love it!

what to wear wednesday

Is it Wednesday already?!? How did that happen?!

Here’s this week’s installment. Sorry for the Gap (again) for mom and dad, but their clothes are so accessible and come in such lovely colors. Kiddos outfits are from Janie and Jack. For this ensemble, I let the little girl shine in a bright dress, and kept the other outfits more neutral to coordinate. Enjoy!

what to wear wednesday

The question I’m always asked before a family session is “What should we wear?” And it’s a good question! My advice is always: 1. Avoid white. It’s just glaringly bright in black and white…and in color it tends to reflect the landscape color (green, blue, brown, etc.)  2. Avoid bold logos that will ‘date’ the images.  3. Avoid really bold patterns for family shots – for individuals of the kids? GREAT! Show off their personality and style for sure – but keep things cohesive for the family shots.  4. Consider what everyone is wearing ‘one big outfit.’ You want to coordinate, but you don’t want to match exactly. Everyone wearing the same thing equals a *really* boring portrait.

Some photographer friends and I have started to put together wardrobe ideas – I’m focusing on family groups since I have quite a few of those coming up this summer. Here are some suggestions:

As you can see, these all go well together, but they don’t match exactly. Jeans, blues, browns, greens, and khaki all photograph beautifully.
