Your family’s outfits during your family photoshoot Vancouver make all the difference in making your pictures look beautifully styled and coordinated. The right textures, colors and shapes go a long way in pulling together a photograph, setting the mood, and anchoring it.
3 Tips for Summer Family Photoshoot Vancouver
Choose the Right Colours
Summer family photoshoots usually take place outside and 90% of the time with flowers and plants in full bloom, there will be green in the background. Knowing this, we have to think of colors that will compliment green without being overwhelming in contrast.
Navy blues, neutrals, beiges, tans, and creams are all subtle enough to pull together the color scheme without being overwhelming. It’s also important to note that certain color combinations can result in an unintentional holiday photo. For example, wearing red with a green background will make your photo feel Christmassy, and pairing orange clothing with a green background may make it feel like Halloween.
Don’t Go Overboard
We associate summer with bright, fun, lively colors, but the same doesn’t usually apply for photographs. Bright colors in contrast with an equally bright and floral background can feel overwhelming.
Bright colors should be paired with neutrals. You can also go for a pastel color palette as it has a lively element while being toned down and muted.
It’s All About Movement
Wind gives life and visual interest to a photo that would otherwise look flat and static. To make the most of this, it’s important to choose light, ethereal fabrics that the wind can easily pick up. Keep in mind that significantly windy locations may lift your dress and show off more than you prefer, so choose longer skirts and shirts that are fairly body-hugging to avoid mishaps!
