TIP #1: Dresses are a Winner
Dresses not only look super flattering but add a touch of grace to your Kent family photos, especially those with movement.
TIP #2: Dapper Dudes
Chinos, button-ups, or henleys—tailored beats cargo any day. And don't forget the power of accessories like bow ties and suspenders!
TIP #3: Accessorize, Accessorize!
Hair accessories, bow ties, suspenders—these little touches can add oodles of style to your Kent family photos.
Coordinating Vs. Matching
Say goodbye to the myth that everyone must match! Coordinating is key. Choose colors that vibe together, but let there be some variation. Texture, color, patterns—embrace them all! If you're overwhelmed, start with a print you love and build around it.
Your Perfect Colors
I recommend at least three colors in your Kent family photos palette. Add in some patterns for flair. Neutrals and earth tones are timeless, or draw inspiration from your home's colors. Trendy? Check out the Pantone Color of the year for some fashionable vibes!
Accessories & Layers
The finishing touches! Statement necklaces, scarves, vests, hats—they add personality and pizazz to your Kent family photos. Bring meaningful extras like a child's favorite toy or a favorite quilt.
Things to Avoid
Tricky colors alert! Skip neon, all-white, or all-black ensembles in your Kent family photos. Neon can cast weird colors, and all-white or all-black may not play well with lighting.
Day of Session Prep
For the kiddos: Rest, food, excitement, and a little grace to be themselves. For the adults: Rest, food (yes, really!), and share my relaxed style with them. And for you: Take your time, let go of perfection, and trust me to capture your family's real smiles in your Kent family photos.
Final Checklist
Don't forget the essentials—comfy shoes, snacks, water, makeup, diapers, and, of course, your beautiful selves!
Still got questions? Just ask! Your photographer wants you to be successful and have a stress-free experience. I love to collaborate with my clients before their session. I’m excited to make your Kent family photos session a breeze!
