Spring is the perfect season for family photos—gentle breezes, blooming flowers, and golden light create an unforgettable backdrop. But one of the biggest questions I get from clients is: What should we wear?
This season, I’m loving soft, earthy color palettes for family sessions, like the ones featured in my Spring Mood Boards. These tones are not only flattering but also create a timeless, cohesive look in your photos. Here’s why these hues work beautifully and how to style them effortlessly!
Why Choose Soft, Neutral Colors for Spring Photos?
1️⃣ They Complement the Spring Landscape 🌿Soft tones like sage green, warm beige, muted blush, and earthy browns blend seamlessly with natural outdoor settings. Whether you're posing in an open field, by a garden, or near the water, these colors enhance the scenery without overwhelming it.
2️⃣ They Keep the Focus on Your Family 🤍Bright or overly saturated colors can sometimes distract from what truly matters—you and your connections! Neutral shades allow emotions, smiles, and candid moments to shine through in your photos.
3️⃣ They Are Universally Flattering ✨Soft, muted colors look great on every skin tone and work well across different clothing textures. They also make it easy to coordinate multiple family members without clashing patterns or colors.
How to Style Your Family’s Spring Look
💫 Moms: Flowy dresses in soft neutrals, sage greens, or muted florals create an effortless, feminine look. Bonus points for ruffles, linens, or tiered layers that add movement to photos.
👕 Dads: Casual, textured button-ups in taupe, beige, or earthy browns paired with chinos or linen pants create a relaxed but polished vibe.
👗 Little Girls: Ruffled or linen dresses in soft blush, peach, or cream are perfect for twirling moments during your session.
👕 Little Boys: Neutral polos, striped tees, or lightweight button-ups in warm tans or soft greens pair well with linen or khaki shorts for an easy, put-together look.
👡 Shoes & Accessories: Keep footwear simple—woven sandals, neutral sneakers, or casual loafers. Stacked bracelets, delicate rings, and layered necklaces are great finishing touches for those dreamy close-up shots!
