Summer temperatures can be high, so choosing the right fabrics and styles is essential to stay comfortable during your photo session. Opt for breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, and light blends that allow airflow and keep you cool.

• Kids: Cute and comfy outfits like cotton dresses for girls and shorts with light tops for boys. The Elvie Dress is an adorable choice for girls, while boys can sport classic shorts.

Accessorizing Your Outfits

Accessories can elevate your family's outfits and add persaonlity to your photos. However, in summer, it's important to choose pieces that are both stylish and practical.

Hats, jewelry, and shoes to complete your look

• Hats: Wide-brimmed hats for mom, fedoras for dads, and cute sun hats for kids not only look great, but also provide sun protection.
• Jewelry: keep it simple and light. Delicate necklaces, bracelets, and earrings can add a touch of elegance without being overwhelming.
• Shoes: comfortable sandals, espadrilles, or canvas shoe are perfect for summer. Avoid heavy footwear that might make you uncomfortable the heat.

Tips for a Cohesive Family Look

Achieving a cohesive look doesn't mean everyone has to wear the same outfit. Here are some tips to ensure your family's attire looks well-coordinated:

Creating a harmonious look without being too matchy-matchy

• Mixing patterns and textures: Don’t shy away from patterns; just ensure they are complementary. For instance, if mom is wearing a floral dress, dad can opt for a subtle striped shirt.
• Layering: Light layers can add depth to your outfits. A denim jacket over a sundress or a light scarf can bring the whole look together.
• Balancing formal and casual: Ensure there’s a balance in the formality of everyone’s outfits. If one member is dressed formally, the others should match the level of formality.
