After a long winter of being cooped up indoors, spring is the ideal time to get out of the house and have a little fun in the sun while taking some great photos of the family. It\u2019s the perfect season for using colorful fun clothing to create lasting memories with your family. However, deciding what to wear for your photos can be stressful. What colors to wear? How do you coordinate without being matchy-matchy?\u00a0 If you\u2019re not sure where to start, we have some pointers for choosing your spring outfits for your outdoor photoshoot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nTexture
\n<\/strong>Be sure to have some layers, texture, and dimension in your pictures. Throwing some layers in there helps provide texture. Layer your son with a t-shirt and a denim button down over it, include a belt that adds a pop of color to your daughter\u2019s outfit, or choose a top for mom that has texture like ruffles or lace. \u00a0 Think hats for boys, a light airy scarf for girls, leggings<\/a> with a ruffled skirt, and necklaces like the CZ Luxxe Swarovski 18k Gold Plated Crystal Lock and Key<\/a> from Buydig.com. Also, textures you might find in lightweight knit sweaters, fun scarves, wool skirts or pants, and satin blouses add a lot of variation to your photos. Before photo day, lay out your outfits to see how everything flows together. If the look feels incomplete, add a texture.<\/p>\n

Coordinate vs. Match
\n<\/strong>Years ago, it was popular for an entire family to wear white shirts and denim or khaki pants. That look is not quite as popular now. In fact, you should avoid overly matching at all, with the exception of sisters or brothers wearing matching outfits. Instead, begin with a few colors that coordinate well with each other. Choose varying shades of the same color instead of trying to match perfectly because this will give some variety while still looking cohesive. Don\u2019t feel like you have to simply choose one color to coordinate. Instead choose 3 or 4 and spread out the colors through your individual clothing options. Grey pants for Dad, silver scarf for Mom, and a silver sweater for daughter mixed with a plaid or jean print would pull together everyone in a cohesive theme, without reverting to the old \u201cmatchy-matchy\u201d that is a little outdated<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nLayers
\n<\/strong>The weather can be both unpredictable and change quickly in the spring. One day, it may be 80 degrees and the next, snowing. \u00a0Just the sun going behind the clouds can instantly drop the temperature from comfortable to chilly.\u00a0Layered clothing and accessories are practical. They can be one more way to add variety to your spring outfits. It\u2019s also the perfect way to mix and match your neutrals and colors. For the men in your family, think hats, gloves, scarves, belts and neckties. For the ladies, think cardigans, scarves, jewelry, purses and hair accessories. Almost anything works as long as it coordinates with your outfit and shows your family\u2019s personality.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nLarge Families or Groups
\n<\/strong>Choose 2-3 colors then have everyone dress using those colors.\u00a0 It\u2019s a win-win because you\u2019ll all coordinate, but everyone gets to wear what makes them comfortable.<\/p>\n

What Looks Good in Your Home?
\n<\/strong>One of the first things to consider when selecting clothing colors is where you are planning on displaying your photos. Also, what colors are\u00a0in that room. Think about what would look good hanging up on the walls. Also pick clothing that will complement the colors in your home so that you can display your photos proudly. In many cases, it doesn\u2019t really matter, but if you\u2019re one of those people who hopes to hang one of these portraits in your living room which just happens to be painted blue and green, red and black or brown and turquoise, then you need to plan accordingly.\u00a0On the other hand, if your home is rather neutral, consider your accent colors and how you might coordinate with your clothing choices.<\/p>\n

Make your spring family picture session a fun afternoon for the entire family by making it more of a family outing than a photoshoot.\u00a0 Go for a walk in the park or woods and enjoy the new spring flowers, or pack a picnic and have your session at a lake or beach.\u00a0 The images you capture with your camera<\/a> from Buydig.com will not only serve as your spring photos for the year, but also as forever memories of the afternoon shared as a family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
