Good Looking Dresses for Your Family Photoshoot



Is a family photoshoot on your calendar this time of the year? If you’re looking for the perfect photoshoot dress for yourself, I’ve found some really good looking dress ideas that will help you look and feel your best.

What to consider when choosing a dress

1. You want to go for a dress that is comfortable and flattering for your body type. Little wonder why most people go for fit and flare dresses that can suit all body types.

Most people tend to have “problem spots” they would rather not have on display and this should totally be considered. If you are concerned about your arms, skip the mono strap dresses. If you’re concerned about your tummy, skip the body-con dresses.

Choose comfort and go for a dress that will not make you feel overly conscious on the day.

2. You want to stay true to your style. If you are a laid back everyday girl, then casual dresses can be a great option regardless of whether it is an indoor or outdoor shoot. If you are a dressier kind of girl, then go for dresses with popping colors or well structured formal dresses.

3. Look out for the type of fabric – if it’s going to crease heavily with every move you make, then skip it.

Drapey dresses should flow nicely and be soft and crease resistant. Formal dress should have good structure with somewhat thick fabric – double points if it’s lined.

4. Pick a color theme. While you all don’t have to be matchy matchy, going for colors that complement each other will make a cohesive looking photo.

A classic example of a color palette that tends to works for any season is Navy, cream and tan.

For fall season, colors like mustard, burnt orange, olive green, brown and neutrals tend to look great. If you are not sure of what color palette to go with start here.
