What To Wear For Your Spring Photoshoot: Mum, Dad & Girls

By Jennifer on April 8, 2011

Let’s pre­tend that Spring is here…peach and pur­ple make a nice change from the nor­mal pas­tel col­ors that are tra­di­tional for this time of year.
The Hartshorn Family Spring Portrait

I love these col­ors together… the pur­ple and soft orange work so well and con­trast beau­ti­fully with accents of cream and the blue jeans. Our fam­ily had a stu­dio ses­sion last year and used the same col­ors with great success.

Mom and dad's clothing ideas for a spring portrait session

  • Dad — Secret Wash Gingham Shirt in merid­ian pur­ple with boot cut jeans in dark wash -J Crew.
  • Mum — Linen gazebo trousers — J Crew, flower top with col­lar — Zara

Kid's clothing options for a spring portrait session

  • Girls-​Purple shirt from 525 Girls and Jeans by Le Pink from Stage Left in Franklin Lakes,
  • Cotton Lawn Fleur top - Crew Cuts.

The pat­terns work because of the lim­ited col­ors and the dif­fer­ent tex­tures add dimension.

Mac does not like too much jew­elry but I have seen some funky neck­laces on young girls at ses­sion that look great.

I have not included shoes as the casual set­ting and hard­wood floors of our stu­dio call for bare feet but remem­ber to get a pedi­cure before your session!

Back next week with ideas for babies and toddlers.
