Family

One of the most challenging parts of booking a family session is coordinating outfits. That’s why I created this spring family photoshoot outfits guide for families in and around West Bend, Wisconsin. This guide includes links to all outfits, making it easy to style your family simply and beautifully this spring. Spring is the perfect time for pastels like sage, blush, and baby blue—they create a light, colorful, and cohesive palette for your photos.

For Mom, think flowy dresses, casual skirts, or stylish blouses paired with simple accessories. Wild Lavender based out of Cedarburg, Wisconsin is one of my favorite boutiques and she always has adorable outfits for Mom (at a very reasonable price too)! For dads, think neutral pants or chinos with a light button-up or Henley. For kids, mix comfort with style: cute dresses, shorts, or collared shirts in coordinating colors. My favorite places to shop for kids clothing items is Amazon, TJ Maxx, or even Kohls.

I highly recommend avoiding busy patterns that distract from your faces. Instead, focus on textures, layers, and simple prints for added visual interest. Shoes should complement the outfit but stay practical, especially for outdoor sessions. Make sure shoes are comfortable and easy to walk/run in for the little ones.

When putting together your looks, remember that spring family photoshoot outfits in West Bend work best when you coordinate, not match. The goal is coordination, not matching! And most importantly, be sure to dress everyone comfortably so you can sit, stand, walk, and even play around in your outfits.

Need Accessories?

No family outfit is complete without the perfect accessories. Simple touches like dainty necklaces, hair clips, or a cute pair of earrings can really elevate your look without being overly distracting. I especially love supporting local artisans, which is why I recommend Sunset Spun Handmade for unique, high-quality handmade pieces that add a thoughtful, personal touch to your spring family photoshoot outfits in West Bend. Wild Lavender also has some fun accessories as well in stock periodically! These accessories are perfect for coordinating with your color palette of pastels and neutrals, and they add that little touch of personalization.
