5 Tips for what to wear for Summer Family Sessions: Petra King Photography | Maternity + Baby + Wedding Photography
Summer feels like it has arrived early in the Durham Region. One of the most FAQ’s I get asked recently is any suggestions on what to wear? When it comes to selecting outfits for your children, opting for a neutral or soft pastels can help to create the timeless and cohesive look that enhances the beauty of your session
So I thought I’d share a little inspo for you with some tips to consider:
Start with a neutral base
Start by selecting a neutral base color for your child’s outfit. Cream, beige, light grey, and soft pastels provide a great canvas. A neutral base also allows you to add pops of colour, subtle patterns and textures without overwhelming the overall aesthetic of the photo.
Incorporate soft fabrics
Durham Region family summer photoshoot locations can take you to the beach, trails and family backyards. Prioritize comfort by choosing outfits made from soft and breathable fabrics such as cotton, linen, or lightweight knits that will also flow with your surroundings. Not only do these materials keep your children (and yourself) cool and comfortable in the heat of summer, but they also add a gentle and relaxed feel to the overall look of your portraits.
Mix & match textures
Add depth and visual interest to your child’s outfits by mixing and matching textures within the soft color palette. Consider pairing a cotton shirt with linen shorts or a cotton onesie with ruffled bloomers. Remember, texture variation adds dimension to your photos! Plus it’s super cute too!
Add subtle accents
Don’t be afraid to incorporate subtle accents to elevate your child’s outfits. Try simple accessories like hair bows and bonnets or suspenders in soft pastel hues or muted tones can add a touch of personality and charm.
Prioritize comfort and mobility
Don’t forget to prioritize your kids comfort and mobility when selecting their outfits. Choose clothing that allows them to move freely and express their personalities with ease. Comfortable and happy kids make for the most genuine, connection-filled portraits. Not to mention a happy mama too!
Because sometimes it’s easier to see than visualize here are a few simple style boards.
Hopefully you find this helpful!. The studio has a limited number of dates left for the remainder of the year. If you are looking to update your Family Portrait Wall now is the perfect time to do so.

I’d like to introduce the next amazing family (also my sweet neighbours) to you all. Lorraine is a talented, busy mom of 3 and fellow Business Woman.

The most gorgeous children. Individual portraits are a must during a Family session. Loved how these came out.
And yes, I am a sucker for a rich black and white.
Enjoy!

Bright and early on a sunny,windy Friday morning I packed up the car and headed up to Little Britain. Just 10-15 min up the road from Port Perry lies a quaint, little area just off Lake Scugog.
Upon my arrival I was greeted at the door with smiles, bright eyes and lots of curoisty! I knew we were in for some fun when the kids are all excited to see you.
I spent a few hours with this beautiful, young sweet family as we created some memories to hang on their walls.
