Planning a family photoshoot during your trip to Portugal? 🇵🇹
The right outfits can make all the difference — not only in the way your photos look, but in how you feel during the session.
Here’s a simple, practical guide to help you choose what to wear so your family looks beautifully coordinated — without feeling stiff or overdone.
👕 1. Coordinate, don’t match
Avoid everyone wearing the exact same outfit. Instead, pick a color palette (like beige, white and olive green), and have each family member wear tones within that palette. It looks cohesive but natural.
☁️ 2. Stick to soft, neutral tones
These colors blend beautifully with Portugal’s warm light and natural backdrops — especially in places like Lisbon, Setúbal, or the beach.
Avoid neons, strong patterns, or big logos — they distract from your faces and the emotion.
👟 3. Think comfort first (especially for kids!)
If your children feel good in what they’re wearing, the photos will reflect it. Choose outfits that allow movement and aren’t too fussy. Layers work great — cardigans, light jackets, scarves — especially for autumn or spring.
📷 4. Consider the location
Urban shoot in Lisbon? Think casual chic.
Beach session in Costa da Caparica? Go barefoot and flowy.
Park or nature shoot? Earthy tones and natural textures fit perfectly.
💡 Bonus tips:
- Bring a backup outfit for young kids (just in case!)
- Avoid smartwatches or distracting accessories
- Add a small touch that reflects your family’s personality — a hat, a scarf, a toy!
