We like to be super organized, so we’ve divvied up all these great ideas into categories by season! Below you’ll find inspiration for what to wear for photos in four different categories:
Spring Photo Sessions
Summer Photo Sessions
Fall Photo Sessions
Winter Photo Sessions
Spring Photo Sessions
Probably one of the most popular seasons for family photos because of the gorgeous, blooming flowers that come with spring, these ideas for what to wear for photos will help you and your family look your best in the natural beauty of the season.
1.Soft Whites: This spring, think vintage whites for a laid back photo session.
7.Rain Gear: If April showers bring May flowers, you’ve got to embrace the puddles! Add some galoshes or rain coats to make for a playful set of family photos.
8.Blue & White Prints: These tiny prints are perfect for the tiny addition to your photo shoot. Look for small prints in blue and white to get this look.
14.Bare Feet: Alright, bare feet are admittedly not something to wear, but this idea will give you one less thing to figure out for a photo shoot and it’s so perfect for casual summer nostalgia!
One of my personal favorite times of year, fall photos are filled with rustic beauty. You won’t have any trouble figuring out what to wear for photos in the fall with these ideas!
15.Fall Plaids: Perfect for looking cozy in the autumn chill, any kind of plaid is the perfect pattern for fall pictures.
Brimming with warm ideas for what to wear to help you feel cozy during a chilly winter photo shoot, these images will get you super excited to try out a snowy landscape!
23.Black & White: A simple color palette goes a long way and it’s super easy to find everyone something great to wear!

I find a way to be highly creative and highly organized all at the same time. I love discovering a new favorite book, sitting on my back porch in the mornings, mountain views, and random science facts! I married my high school sweetheart after dating for nearly a decade and I love meeting people who know how to make me laugh, like my husband who can crack me up by just looking at me.
MEG! This is amazing!! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve searched Pinterest to try and find the perfect combinations for my family. Picture time is coming up and I’m LOVING the cool blues and fur hats idea! Thank you! Now I have a sure place to look for ideas no matter what time of year.
I LOVE how you hit every season! This post is SO helpful! I think my favorite is the “floral accessories” and of course the fall tips! Great job, Meg!!

Yay! This couldn’t have aired at a better time for me. We’re doing photos on the beach in a week (hopefully)!
