Tips for Finding the Perfect Pieces for Family Photos:

There are lots of great retailers that provide high-quality clothing that can be used for family photos, but shopping at a mom-to-mom sale like JBF saves so much time! The organizers of this sale have tweaked the layout year after year to make it organized by size and easy to browse efficiently by size. All of the clothing items are for the current season, so you don’t need to sift through a bunch of shorts and tank tops, when you’re actually looking for sweaters and long pants. Here are some tips to make it even easier:

1. Show up with a color plan. Having a general idea of the color pallet you want to stick to will help shopping go much more quickly. I always recommend that mom chooses her outfit first, then I have families plan the rest of the outfits around hers. For the pregnant moms, JBF actually has a maternity section where you could get lucky and find the perfect dress! If you get stuck on choosing colors, reach out to your photographer for their opinion!
2. Think about adding different textures and fabric with some movement. Adding these things can help add visual interest to your family photos.
3. Don’t forget about the shoes! This is often an afterthought for many people, but the shoes can really make or break the photos. The JBF sale has always been really picky when accepting shoes to sell, so I know you’ll be able to find some great options! Shoes can also be a great way to make the family coordinate. For example, if mom has a light brown hat, one of the kids could coordinate their shoe color with the hat color and make the outfits perfectly balanced.
