One of the most common questions I get asked is what to wear to your photoshoot and how to dress the whole family! Do not stress thats where I am hear to help!

The first thing I suggest is choose something that makes you feel amazing! If you're not comfy or feeling awkward in your outfit, it's going to show in your photos! I always say that Mum should pick her outfit first and then the rest of the family can coordinate around her, because lets face it Mum deserves to shine during her photos as she is the one generally organizing everything else! 
I have a list of dresses available for ladies to try on, most of them are maternity friendly as well.You can view these below via the link. 

When you choose your outfits, decide upon a colour scheme and look for a mix of clothing in that colour range. I always say neutral colours is best but a pattern on one or two people in the photos can also look great!
Dad and boys generally wear a white shirt with chino coloured pants, this makes it easier for the ladies and girls to add a pop of colour. 

PLEASE AVOID THE FOLLOWING:

SLOGAN/BRANDED AND LICENSED CLOTHING
We all know the kids love these kinds of clothes and also the dads! I’m referring to the Disney princess and superhero clothes and the t-shirts with huge slogans across them or abbreviations. If you want timeless photos to hang around your home I would suggest steering clear of these types of clothes on this occasion.
What to avoid: Nike tshirt with large tick across the tshirt 
What is acceptable: Small logo on the chest like Ralph Lauren etc.

CLOTHING PATTERNS AND COLOURS THAT CLASH
I’m a big pattern lover and they can look beautiful in photoshoots but only when kept to a minimum. If one family member is wearing a bold patterned dress or top, use the pattern as a base to pull out some colours from. Dress the other family members in colours that are reflected in that pattern. Avoid all wearing bold items that clash with one another.

MATCHY OUTFITS (EVERYONE IN JEANS AND WHITE TOPS)
This look has been done many times and although it had it’s place years ago I would suggest getting a little more creative and less clique. Come up with a fresh new look that reflects your family style a little more. One person in jeans and a plain top looks great, just steer clear of every person in the image being dressed in the same combo.

CLOTHES THAT YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE IN!
We all have that dress tucked away that we love but it may not be one we really feel that comfortable wearing or something that may be a little small. If you wear clothes that you don’t feel totally comfortable in and that you are needing to adjust and constantly fix during a shoot it will be reflected in the images! Wear something that makes you feel amazing and is comfortable and no doubt you will feel far more relaxed with a camera following you around.
