What to Wear: Holiday Edition
Preparing for a family portrait in our enchanting winter wonderland set should be as memorable and enjoyable as the session itself. To make it easy and seamless, we’ve put together a guide to help your family look timeless, coordinated, and picture-perfect in our dreamy, holiday-themed studio. Here are five styling tips to create a cohesive look that complements both the setting and each family member:
1. Embrace a Coordinated Color Palette
Select a color scheme that suits the winter theme, such as soft neutrals like ivory, gray, beige, or warm, rich shades like burgundy, forest green, navy, and deep red. These tones create a classic, elegant look against the wintery set. Avoid bright colors or heavy patterns, as they can detract from the scene's subtle beauty.
2. Mix Textures for Added Depth
Layers and textures add warmth and a sense of richness to your images. Consider cozy materials like wool, cashmere, velvet, and knit fabrics. For instance, a velvet dress paired with a soft cardigan or a wool sweater layered over a collared shirt for the boys adds dimension and a touch of sophistication.
3. Coordinate but Don’t Match Exactly
While it’s important to choose complementary colors, avoid everyone wearing the exact same outfit. Instead, create a look where everyone’s outfit complements one another without being identical. For example, if one family member wears a cream-colored sweater, others can wear shades of taupe or light gray.
4. Consider Classic Accessories
Subtle, timeless accessories can bring the look together. Think classic scarves, elegant hair accessories, or even suspenders for boys. A subtle pop of metallic like gold or silver in jewelry can add to the festive atmosphere without overpowering the look. Avoid overly bright or distracting accessories.
5. Choose Comfortable yet Stylish Footwear
Footwear often gets overlooked but can complete a polished look. Consider classic, neutral-colored boots or dress shoes, which pair well with winter attire and create a finished look in full-length shots. Make sure they’re comfortable enough for little ones to move around easily.
