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.
