We went with blue, white, khaki, green and denim. I figured that most people look good in blue or green and everyone had something in their closet that fell in that color scheme. A couple people ended up with grey on as well and the pictures turned out really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cordinating-picture-outfits#post-2267968 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 08:57:43 +0000 Smurfette 2267968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did family pics last year. It was a present for my parents 40th anniversary, so we let them pick. Mom picked navy and kelly green. We had different shades of green and navy but it all worked and they looked really good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cordinating-picture-outfits#post-2267954 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 08:53:24 +0000 Pancakes 2267954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure it's challenging to coordinate outfits for such a large group. We had our immediate family photos done last month and this was the advice our photographer shared with us. Hopefully some of it is helpful for you in choosing a color scheme. We went with blues, pinks, and greens for our pictures and I think they turned out well.</p> <p>What to wear<br /> I know a lot of people have a hard time coming up with good, solid wardrobe choices for family photography. It’s stressful sometimes, but it doesn’t have to be! Remember, the days of all white, all black, all khaki or all jeans is a thing of the past. Family picture time is a great time to embrace your individuality, your favorite looks, bold colors, prints and layers. </p> <p>1. Steer clear of fluorescents. Fluorescent colors tend to color cast on faces, necks and hair. They’re harsh sometimes. I always recommend versions of primary colors. Yellow (mustard), red (maroon, brick), and blue (navy, royal).</p> <p>2. To get the flow going with wardrobe for your family, start with one outfit that you really like. From there, build from it for everyone else. </p> <p>3. Wear what you feel good in! Moms and dads, this tip is for you specifically. If you aren’t comfortable in what you’ve chosen for pictures, it will show. If you can’t find a dress you feel good in, but you rock a good pair of skinny jeans, do that.</p> <p>4. Layer, layer layer! Layers add dimension and depth.cardigans, belts, statement necklaces, scarves, hats, blazers, etc.</p> <p>5. Purchase clothes to fit. And fit well. I know we all have a hard time buying clothes for our kiddos that don’t leave a lot of room for growth, seeing as they do grow so fast. However, keep in mind that for pictures, too large of a polo shirt, saggy ill-fitting jeans or a jacket that’s falling off the shoulders looks sloppy.</p> <p>6. Matching is out. Coordinating is in. And anything goes nowadays! I know your family is together. I am photographing you together! So, wearing the same colored shirt, pants, shoes, etc. looks a bit awkward. Coordinating color is what really brings wardrobe together. I usually choose two to three main colors of wardrobe, and maybe one accent pop of color. Also, mixing stripes with plaids and tweeds is okay! Expression is important. I want to see your personality through your wardrobe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cordinating-picture-outfits#post-2265919 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 08:30:00 +0000 LuLu Mom 2265919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2 sets of family pictures within 2 weeks of each other. I already have our immediate family outfits bought/planned out. But now I need to find outfits for both girls (5 months and 3 years) for the large family pictures. I'm in charge of color scheme and I'm drawing a blank!! Any ideas/helps/touch of brilliance to make these come together. It is grandparents, and 2 families of 4. We have 2 girls, and BIL/SIL have a girl and a boy. </p>
