Where To Shop For Family Sessions | Madison Family Photographer

Where to shop for clothes for family sessions? That is one of the most asked questions that I get from clients. I absolutely love discussing wardrobes with families and ways to ensure that the entire family looks cohesive, well put together and comfortable.

A few tips before we jump in:

-Patterns and textures always look fantastic.

-Style Mom first, then base everyone else’s outfits off of hers.

-Don’t be afraid to dress in a bold print.

-Avoid clothing with logos, bright neon colors and words.

-Don’t be afraid to accessorize.

-Not into dresses? That is okay, jeans or slacks work well with booties or heels. Don’t feel pressure to dress like other families.

-Utilize resources such as Pinterest or Instagram.

-Think of where your location will be taking place, use this when considering your shoes and clothing. For example, if your session is out in a field at the end of October, you may want to use cardigans over short sleeve dresses or tops to keep your child warm.

I will go over some of my favorite stores both local and online.
