Fall Family Photo Outfit Ideas

If you caught my previous blog post about Style and Select you know how excited I am about family photo outfit creation. I put together a few style boards with inspiration for your next session! In order to use the service you do need an access code and your photographer has to be a paying member of the service.

Some more outfit tips:

1. Start with mom’s outfit. Make sure you feel comfortable and beautiful in whatever outfit you choose.

2. Stick to 2-3 colors and avoid heavy patterns

3. No sneakers! There are lots of stylish shoes for boys, stay away from the Nike’s!

4. Plan well in advance and try on everything before your session. There’s nothing worse than realizing your 2 year old’s pants don’t fit the day of your session!

How to Use Style & Select to Plan Family Photo Outfits

I recently discovered the wonderful service that is Style & Select. It’s a website that allows you to coordinate outfits for family photos. You simply fill out the questionnaire about your family and it suggests clothing for you. You can mix and match and see how everything looks together. Best of all you can email your selections to yourself (your photographer also gets a copy) and purchase items right through the site.

The website is free to use for clients with an access code and photographers pay a monthly or yearly fee to use the service.

Photo clients can click on start styling to create outfits

Enter the access code your photographer gave you

Select ages and sizes for each family member

Choose your style and colors. The color squares are really bright but the suggested clothing is muted with lots of neutrals mixed in

The final sections! It took me less than 5 minutes to create this and I love that you can see all the items together. I always recommend choosing clothing that coordinates but doesn’t match. Style and Select makes it so easy!
