Styling Guide for Families
Thank you for choosing Britt Udy Photography for you family’s photo session! You may be wondering what to expect and how to prepare for your session so I’ve got a few tips and tricks for you! The most important thing is that you don’t stress during this process. My guide is to take the guesswork out of dressing your family so you can arrive to your session fresh and stress-free! I’ve got you!
OUTFITS
Outfits are everything! Even though outfits are very important do not let it stress you out. I am here to give you the tools to make sure you feel beautiful in your photos!
Earth-tones photograph best, period! Other colors you can incorporate are creams, whites, and blacks.
Stay away from bright colors (neons, bright engine red, turquoise, orange and yellows) and lots of patterns. These do not complement my style of editing and generally do not shoot well.

*Pro Tip: Momma find your outfit first! Then build what your family is wearing around you. It is the hardest for mom’s to find the perfect outfit. Therefore, my moms should find what they feel most comfortable in and confident.
Place to shop include:
Zara (great for all ages, genders, and sizes)
Woven (great for simple chic clothes for mom) PLUS they are local! They have incredible style and will help you find the perfect outfit for your photos.
Target (great for all ages, genders, and sizes)
Madewell (great for simple, chic clothes for mom)
Free People (great for simple, chic clothes for mom)
Old Navy (great for all ages, genders, and sizes)
Make-up
If you are wanting to spend a little extra money to get your make-up professionally done, I would highly recommend it! Having your make-up done can make you feel even more confident going into your family photos!
Randi Bennett- she is truly amazing at what she does! She can give you a simple look up to a glamor look…whatever you are wanting, she is going to make you look amazing! Contact her on her website at RB Artistry.
Nails + Spray Tans
These are two things I recommend but do not push on clients.
For nails, I would recommend you either paint them, have them professionally done, or use press-on nails. OR, YOU CAN KEEP THEM CLEAR AND CLEANED OF ANY POLISH. I will not edit your nails in your photos.
This is the same with self-tanner or a professional spray-tan. If it is your first time using tanner or getting a spray-tan, I would recommend doing a trial run. I will not edit your skin tones to try and fix any problems that may come up.
