Although you don’t have to buy new clothes for your photo shoot, sometimes it’s fun to or you might not already have outfits that look good together! Don’t worry, here are some photographer certified summer family photo outfits. Each set has an outfit for mom, dad, a baby/toddler of each gender, and a child aged 4 to 12 of each gender. So there should be something for every family member. Plus, the adult options would also be great picks for a summer or spring engagement session! These spring outfits I put together could also work for summer!

Whether you prefer soft pastels or bold colors, choose summer family photo outfits that complement your location and personal style! I recommend your family should coordinate instead of match and there’s certain colors I recommend avoiding but there’s more about that in the style guide I provide my clients! I’ll give you a tip from it for free though: avoid pure white. Go for off white’s or creams if possible.

I chose color palettes based on different summer trends for 2025. One is based on the Pantone color of the year, mocha mousse paired with dusty rose (this one could be good for fall too!) I love the “sea glass” palette for a beach session! Also note that although I picked items to suit these palettes, the great thing about Amazon clothes is that they come in lots of colors! So a lot of the items can be mixed between the color palettes, or you can make your own palette.

I included accessories and footwear in some of the collages this time! For the ones where I didn’t, I recommend thinking about your location and the weather. Shoes should be pretty but practical for the location, if you’re going to be playing with your kids in the grass go for a chunky heel or wedge. Sandals would be best for a sandy beach session. For men you could try white sneakers or brown dress shoes.
