Quick answer

What should you wear for family photos?

Keep the palette simple

Choose colors that work well together without matching exactly, and avoid anything that feels stiff, scratchy, or distracting once everyone starts moving around.

Dress for movement

The best family sessions leave room for hugs, play, and genuine connection. If you are documenting a growing family too, a maternity session pairs naturally with future family portraits.
