We had a family portrait done last year and the people gave us some suggestions. You want the photo to focus on your faces, not your clothes. I would try for a timeless look. They suggested darker clothes, solids, avoid a lot of white. Their favorite colors: black, navy, forest green, and burgundy red.</p> <p>Don't worry about the background. Most studios have several backgrounds to choose from. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-help-for-family-photos#post-775392 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 19:03:56 +0000 pil 775392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When we have had photos done professionally, the suggestions we were given were solid colors and no white shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-help-for-family-photos#post-775316 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 17:03:29 +0000 dizzys 775316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For photos I would go with a 3 color theme but pick a brighter accent color for you and your boy. </p> <p>For example, you have brown boots and blue jeans. Dress boy in a brown or tan pant to match your boot or put him in a jacket with brown or tan. Dress him in a shirt with blue to match your jean....maybe a blue and red plaid and pick up the red in your blouse......</p> <p>For our family photos we chose a black red and blue combo....primarily black with cranberry and dark blue accents in different plaid shirts. Turned out very nice.</p> <p>I think they key is to go together without being too match match. Neutral with a bit of color what ever color you choose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-help-for-family-photos#post-775291 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 16:37:12 +0000 ClaraT 775291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My recommendation is go dark and go classic. A dark top for you + a black polo for him takes the emphasis away from your clothes so your faces, not your clothes, are the focus. And yes, a dark color would be fine--you do want to flatter your complexion (but you want the end result to be a photo of you and your son, not a photo of your clothes, if you know what I mean). </p> <p>If you prefer the 'light and airy' look--go white/very light for both, keeping the styles classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-help-for-family-photos#post-775219 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 14:40:46 +0000 Suz 775219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depends what colours look good on you! Do you know what colour the background is going to be? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-help-for-family-photos#post-775163 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:59:00 +0000 Erin1234 775163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My 4-year old son and I are having our pictures done this week. I need help coordinating outfits (not matching). I plan to wear skinny jeans and cognac riding boots, but I'm having a hard time finding a color top. I'd like to find a long cardigan and wear a tank under it....and suggestions on colors? Thanks! </p>
