What to Wear for Spring Portraits

If you are wondering what to wear for spring portraits, you are in the right place. I love helping families coordinate outfits for their portrait sessions. What you wear for family portraits will heavily depend on the season. And stay tuned for the rest of the seasons!


Why You Should Book Spring Family Portraits

There are pros and cons to each season, but I simply love spring family portraits. The spring flowers are blooming, and all the lush greenery is just beautiful. And the weather it is starting to warm up! Spring is a great transitional season, where you can layer your outfits without having to bundle up. And it’s not so hot that you’re uncomfortable during your session.


When deciding what to wear for spring portraits, you should consider the location in addition to the weather. If we’re opting for a forest session, there will be more shade and the temperatures will feel cooler. But if we know we’ll be out in the open on a sunny day, you may be able to wear lighter layers.


Selecting a Color Palette for Spring Portraits

The best advice for picking your outfits is to avoid having everyone wear the exact same color. Instead, opt for a color palette that allows each family member to customize their look and wear what suits them best. Spring is the perfect time to play up the greenery and the clear blue skies. A few of my favorite colors to wear for spring portraits include sage green, tan, light grey, navy blue, burgandy and black.


When you choose a color palette, you can also decide between wearing solid colors or prints. I recommend a mix of the two, but make sure your patterns aren’t too loud or busy. You don’t want them to be a distraction in your beautiful family portraits!
