It's almost here, family photo season is coming! The holidays are the perfect opportunity to get updated family photos. One of the ways I serve my clients is by sending them a style guide before their session that includes outfit inspiration and overall tips to better the experience. Below are some outfit selections and tips for choosing holiday outfits for the family.

A few tips for choosing your holiday outfits:
* Work with what you already have for the season, but don't be afraid to add in something new.
* Stick with a certain style or color scheme. You can mix different shades of the same color for a more cohesive but effortless look.
* Add simple textures such as velvet, corduroy, or chunky knits to elevate the look.
* Consider each person's style and listen to their feedback. Stay true to yourself.
Final tip: Remember that we are capturing the perfect moment not the perfect outfit. Just be natural and have fun!
