HOW TO COORDINATE FAMILY OUTFITS
How to Coordinate Family Outfits
(From a retired photographer and mom who gets it!)
Family pictures are such a beautiful way to capture memories, but I get it—coordinating outfits can be a lot. As a former photographer and a mom myself, I understand the pressure to get those outfits just right without breaking the bank. Family photos are an investment as is, so let’s save money where we can while still looking stylish and put-together.
Here’s my guide to nailing those earthy, neutral tones in a way that feels effortless, budget-friendly, and picture-perfect.
1. Pick a Versatile Color Palette
Start by choosing a few base colors that you can build on. Neutrals like cream, tan, grey, and white pair beautifully with earthy tones like olive green, soft rust, mustard, and warm browns. The beauty of these shades is that they’re timeless, and chances are, you can use pieces you already own.
Remember, we’re not trying to match exactly—we want outfits that complement each other without being too identical.
2. Coordinate with What You Already Have
Trust me, you don’t have to buy a brand-new outfit for everyone. Take a look at what you already have in your closet first. If you’ve got a neutral sweater for dad or a cute earthy dress for your little one, build around that. At Spokane Baby Company, we’ve got those perfect extra pieces—like a gorgeous mama dress or those finishing touches for your kids—to pull it all together.
3. Comfort First, Always
For moms (especially those of us chasing toddlers around!), a flowy dress in neutral or earthy tones is the perfect blend of stylish and comfortable. We have beautiful, soft fabrics at Spokane Baby Company that look amazing in photos and let you move around easily with the kiddos.
For the little ones, think comfy, cozy, and classic. Soft knit sweaters, corduroy overalls, or simple cotton dresses in earthy hues are great options. And don’t forget the socks and tights—those subtle accessories tie the whole look together!
4. Accessories to Elevate Without the Cost
Speaking of accessories, you don’t need to go overboard, but small details can really elevate your photos. Bows, hats, and tights in neutral tones add the perfect finishing touch to your kids’ outfits without breaking the bank. We’ve got a fantastic selection of bows and tights at Spokane Baby Company to make sure even the littlest ones are photo-ready.
5. Layering for Depth
Layers add depth to photos and are super practical, especially as the weather cools down. Think cardigans, light jackets, or a cozy scarf. Neutral layers help you stay on theme without distracting from the overall look.
6. Shop Smart, Save Money
Family photos are a big investment, so why add the stress of overspending on outfits? At Spokane Baby Company, we have affordable, high-quality pieces that work for the whole family—from mom dresses to kid outfits to those must-have accessories like bows, socks, and tights. You’ll find everything you need to keep things stylish and on budget.
As a mom and someone who’s been behind the camera, I totally get wanting your family to look amazing without the stress (or the splurge). Stop by Spokane Baby Company, where we’re here to help you coordinate outfits that look effortless and beautiful—without blowing the budget!
You’ll have timeless family photos to cherish, and with our cozy, earthy tones, your family will look as picture-perfect as ever.
