How Do You Prepare For A Family Photo Session?
The first thing is to ensure the rest of the family knows about the family pictures ahead of time.
Before the photo spring sessions, have different location options as backups encase a mishap occurs.
An important thing to remember is to bring snacks for the whole family.
A great way to prepare is to design a mood board to visually see the main colors and different outfits you plan to have in the family photoshoot. Simply create a Pinterest board online!
We recommend lighter colors or a neutral color palette with a pop of color for spring family photo shoots. This is a little detail that people often overlook.

SHOP EDITOR’S PICKS:
Chunky Knits
You can never go wrong with knits, especially chunky knits! The trendy oversized knit cardigan and lattice knitwear are the best of both worlds. They both can serve as layering pieces and have lightweight options for the warmer months. We love layering a slouchy chunky sweater over a cute dress and high heels to get a different look. The look definitely screams spring with its small doses of texture and pop of color!
SHOP LIGHTWEIGHT SWEATERS:
Floral Dresses
Spring dresses are a great option for the warmer weather! Light colors like a pastel color palette can maximize the overall look of mom’s dress. This time of year embodies bubbly colors and delicate patterns such as floral. We recommend adding white tights underneath or accessories to make it more mesmerizing to get a complete style. The Altar’d State Benton Floral Dress is the perfect example!
SHOP FLOWY DRESSES:
Plaid Shirts
Plaid shirts are usually a Fall and Winter staple piece. However, they are effortless to style year-round, and this trend is beginning to emerge this spring season. These pieces are a great choice if you are going for a classic look for a family session. Plaid shirts can be used as layering clothing or even tied around the waist to give a more relaxed vibe. Also, plaid shirts come in many different shades so that you can choose lighter or neutral tones for spring.
SHOP PLAID SHIRTS:
White Shirt
The humble white shirt is a versatile piece with a timeless feel and needs to be in every closet. However, they are sometimes not given enough recognition. Despite this, white shirts have a major comeback this season with options like chic button-down white shirts and oversized poplin white shirts. Also, this piece should be in your dress options for a spring photo shoot because it is suitable for all family members, especially for a boy’s shirt. In the summer months, we recommend cotton or linen fabrics such as the Madewell White Cotton Courier Shirt.
SHOP WHITE TOPS:
Denim Jacket
Denim jackets never go out of style, and we live in them! The options are endless for styling this piece because denim is just that good. You can choose from an oversized or standard denim jacket to a cropped denim jacket. These can be styled with flowy dresses, bright-colored mini skirts, white pants, & more. Try out a color block bomber jacket if you really want to elevate your look – a few picks can be perfect for a family photo shoot.
SHOP COLOR-BLOCK JACKETS:
Polka Dots
Any outfit can be brought back to life with polka dots or black & white stripes! These graphic patterns shouldn’t be overlooked. They are on clothing and countless accessories, so you have a vast selection. From runways to fashion designers, you can see that the classic designs can give a revitalizing look that is perfect for spring. Also, polka dot dresses are excellent for little girls who want a fun pattern!
