What To Wear For Family Photos

Perfect Outfits for Photos

Choosing what to wear for family photos doesn’t need to be complicated. The goal is simply to wear clothing that feels comfortable and natural, and that works well together as a group.

Soft colours, simple patterns and relaxed clothing usually photograph beautifully, especially for outdoor family photography in Perth. When everyone feels comfortable, it helps the session feel relaxed and natural.

FAQs About Clothing

What colors work?

Soft neutral colours such as creams, blues, soft greens and earthy tones often photograph beautifully in outdoor family photography.

Coordinated Family Outfits (Not Matching)

Rather than matching exactly, it usually looks nicer when family outfits coordinate with complementary colours. Avoid exact matches; instead, coordinate tones for a natural, cohesive look.

For beach family photos, light neutral colours, soft blues and natural fabrics often work beautifully. And of course, bare feet always look more natural at the beach.

What to Wear for Natural Family Photos

Natural family photos work best when everyone feels comfortable and relaxed, rather than overly formal. Clothing that reflects your everyday style helps create genuine, candid moments. While formal outfits can look great, they’re often better suited to studio sessions where the setting is more controlled.

We love Geoff's family photography style. He made the session so easy and our girls loved him - Ange Butler
