I understand that picking out outfits for your upcoming Maine family session is challenging. Honestly, this is probably the hardest part for most people. So I am trying to make it easy and show you so various options for Moms, Dads and Kids. A few days ago I posted some dresses for mom and one for little boys & little girls! I will continue to add more as I find them. Today I am sharing some of my favorite outfit for 2024 Maine Coastal Family Session outfits for Dad (and grandpa if having an extended family session). I tried to give a few options for dressier and casual.
Because I am located so close to the coast of Maine I photograph many beach family sessions. I absolutely love these. I tell everyone to think about the colors you see at the beach and try to use those as inspiration. Choose 2-3 coordinating colors and go from there. Light colors such as white, cream, light blue, pink, soft green and yellow are fantastic choices.
Colors I try to avoid are Navy, black or very dark shades. Medium blue, middle gray and even a darker shade of yellow or tan can look fantastic as a accent color. Just make sure not to over do it.
Last, try to make sure you are not all in the same color. I tell my clients to try only putting 1 maybe 2 people in the same solid color or print. Then try coordinating the rest of the family.
I hope this helps and I can’t wait to see what you pick out for this summers family sessions!
As you can see a grandfather could easily wear most of these items. So if you are including grandparents make sure to have them coordinating as well. Also see a post I did for grandmothers.
