Casual Family Portrait Outfits – Blue Jeans and White Shirt

---

After you’ve booked your family portraits, one of the next steps is to select outfits. The type of outfit that you choose is a more of a personal preference and so it is difficult to tell families what to wear. However, one of the most common casual family portrait outfits are blue jeans and a white shirt. Here are some quick thoughts on blue jeans and a white shirt.

When choosing an outfit for your family portraits, I recommend picking something that you feel comfortable and confident in. For most people, jeans are a lot more comfortable than dress pants or a skirt. This is important because a lot of the poses will include moving, bending, sitting, etc. Also, people usually have a white shirt already in their wardrobe. Having an outfit ready to go can eliminate some of the stress that goes into buying a new outfit for the session.

Another benefit to blue jeans and a white shirt is that white is a classic color that works well for nearly every location. Most outdoor family portrait locations have a lot of browns, greens, and yellows – and white goes really well with these types of backgrounds. If you’d like to add a little color to your outfit, I recommend adding accessories – such as jewelry, belts, or shoes. These subtle accents can be the perfect combination with a white shirt.

Another thing to consider is that you can always add something more dressy to the outfit. For example, a dress coat or a jean jacket. Some of the pictures can be taken with the suit jacket or coat and some can be taken without them.
