Winter Outfit Inspiration

Not sure what the wear for your Winter Family Portrait Session...?

​

Here are some handy tips ...

​

1.Embrace the Winter Palette

Winter offers a beautiful backdrop with its muted tones and soft lighting. Opt for colors that complement this setting:

Earthy Neutrals: Think cream, beige, camel, and taupe.

Rich Hues: Incorporate deep greens, burgundy, rust, and navy for a pop of colour.

Soft Accents: Light greys and pastels can add a gentle touch to the ensemble.

These colours not only harmonize with the winter environment but also ensure that your photos remain timeless.

​

2. Layer Up with Texture

Layering is both practical and visually appealing in winter photos:

Knitwear: Chunky sweaters, cardigans, and scarves add warmth and texture.

Outerwear: Wool coats or puffer jackets in complementary colors can be both functional and stylish.

Accessories: Beanies, gloves, and boots not only keep you warm but also add character to your photos.

Remember, layers can be adjusted during the shoot to achieve different looks.

​

3. Coordinate, Don't Match

Aim for a cohesive look without everyone wearing the exact same outfit:

Color Harmony: Choose a color palette and have each family member wear different shades within that range.

Mix Textures: Combine different fabrics like denim, wool, and cotton to add depth.

Avoid Logos: Steer clear of clothing with large logos or graphics to keep the focus on your family's connection.

​

4. Keep the Little Ones Cozy

Cold kids = unhappy kids, and thats not the look you want for your portraits! Ensure children are dressed warmly to keep them comfortable and happy during the shoot:

Layered Clothing: Use thermal underlayers beneath their outfits.

Warm Accessories: Hats, mittens, and boots are essential.

Comfort First: Choose outfits that allow them to move freely and feel at ease.
