What should your family wear for family beach photos?
Summer is here and now is the time for family beach photos. Family is all that matters! The best way to remember your family is with lovely photos proudly displayed in your home. Last year we got off to a late start with our family beach photography for obvious reasons but this year we are full steam ahead.
Family beach photography:
Family portraits can include your immediate family of just the parents and their kids but for many of our clients they will include a very large family and we know just how rare it is to have everyone in one location at the same time to enable us to have family beach portraits made.
One of the biggest questions people ask us is what should I wear for my family beach portraits? While choosing the outfit ideas for your family beach session the number one tip to keep in mind is to find clothing that makes you feel comfortable.
As with anything there is always a style trend. For many years White tops and Khaki pants were very popular and while that will always give you a timeless look the current clothing trends for your beach family photos will also stand the test of time. As a family photographer we have seen the clothing trend go more towards a mix of 3-4 colors.
The goal of your family photo is to have the viewer not be distracted by patterns or colors that are very distinct from each other. So as a portrait photographer when we create your beach portrait during your beach family photo shoot we now suggest 3-4 colors that are similar in tone and intensity. With a mix of several colors in your family photo we can create a beautiful beach family portrait that will stand the test of time and still showcase each of your family members.
The best colors for family portraits on the beach are ones that have a theme between them all. So for example you may want to wear in your beach portrait soft earth tones or what is very popular right now on the beach are light to mid tone blues and darker shorts and pants. You do not have to be all matchy matchy anymore as long as you have a theme of colors that compliment each other for your beach photo session.

The most stressful part of your beach session is picking the right colors but if you follow these photography tips you will have a family session that will be the envy of all your neighbors. Just leave the family beach photo poses to your beach photographer and your family portrait session will be the best family portrait you ever had.
As a professional when talking to our clients about beach family photos we like to schedule a time to chat so we can go over different clothing ideas along with getting ideas from you on clothing and of course which family members will be included in your beautiful family portrait. Along with the kids many families will include the family dog in their beautiful family images.
Beach Family
Part of the reason people live here on the Jersey Shore is because they view themselves as a beach family. As you can see from some of the family beach photos I have included in this article there are many different style and color choices to choose from. So your family beach photo can be very unique and have its own personal style.
While the goal of any family beach photography session is to create a professional portrait that will be treasured now and for generations where to display your family beach pictures. Portrait photography is generally best displayed in a location that will allow the full enjoyment of your portrait.
Beach photography is a joy to create and generally speaking there are a few specific locations in your house to showcase your favorite family beach portraits. Over a couch, in a foyer, over a fireplace are just some of the locations our clients like to display their family. Below are a few examples of where our clients have displayed their favorite family beach wall art along with a link to our website with more IN HOME examples.
Your photo session for your photos on the beach are always scheduled an hour before sunset. The day of the session we will monitor the weather for rain. Aside from rain we will sometimes suggest rescheduling your beach pictures if the heat is too excessive or if it is too windy.
