After you’ve nailed down the location that works best for you<\/a>, the second decision you’ll make is what to wear. \u00a0If the background is 50% of the picture, clothing is 30%. \u00a0Choosing coordinating clothing for groups can make the difference between an image that looks like it belongs in a time capsule, and one made for Instagram.<\/p>\n

There are a few different routes you could take.<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Modern (most popular): Choose a few colors that coordinate but don’t necessarily match. \u00a0There are often several colors of different shades that blend together.<\/p>\n

2. Traditional: Everyone matches with one or two colors.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Three Colors: This is best for a large group. \u00a0Name 3 colors and tell everyone to show up wearing those colors (and no others!).<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Two Groups: This is another option for a larger group. \u00a0You could have the girls wear one color scheme and the boys another, or you could have the children dress in one way and adults in another.<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0Nude\/Neutral: This option is best for babies since it draws the attention toward the baby and not to everything else.<\/p>\n
