Wondering what to wear for family photos? Today I’m sharing five examples of what to wear for holiday family photos.
I absolutely love having family photos taken for the holidays and special occasions. Of course there is a level of stress that comes along with bringing your kids (and husband) to a photo shoot. But the end result is always worth the hassle. As long as you have a great photographer behind the camera, you only have to worry about what your family is wearing for holiday photos.

2. Black and Gray
If you like dark colors, black and gray go well together. If you have little girls, throw in a bit of pink (seen below) or light blue for boys. These colors – black, gray, pink, and blue – work well for family family photos too.

If you’re looking for non-traditional holiday colors, yellow and navy are an easy combination. Mustard yellow, dusty orange, and chambray are a popular trio of colors for family photos.

Love all of these looks!!! Great inspiration!
I love your color choices! My only goal with pictures is “not clashing,” lol.
I love these ideas! I was wondering if you were still in touch with your BFF Kim that you met? I loved how you met through your blogging, and it must have been hard to move so far away.
We did navy and green this year! The fall backdrop was yellow/orange leaves so it should (hopefully) look nice when the photos are ready.
Maybe when we have a second child, we’ll go the pajama route 😉
Such a great guide to take the cutest holiday season! These colors are so cute and so festive! I can’t wait to take our holiday pics this year!
Phenomenal color combinations here! I love all the outfits you put together for the whole family. I’ve only taken official photos with my husband once – but we do an annual photo in front of our Christmas tree with matching pajamas and that’s always fun too!
