When planning a luxury maternity session, it’s easy to focus on mom’s wardrobe. Finding the perfect gown or fabric is a great starting point, but the rest of the family’s clothing is just as important for creating a timeless portrait.

To achieve a clean, elegant look, the wardrobe for your partner and children should feel cohesive but at the same time not “trying too hard”. Here are a few simple tips to help you coordinate your family’s wardrobe.

1. Coordinate, Don’t Match

Identical outfits can look a little dated. Instead we can aim to complement each other by choosing a color palette.

If Mom is wearing cream or oatmeal, the rest of the family should wear tones that fit into that same family—like soft taupe, sand, or warm gray. This keeps the image clean and classic.

2. Stick to a Neutral Palette

Natural, neutral tones always look high-end and clean.

For Partners: A relaxed linen button-down shirt or a knit crewneck sweater paired with pants in an earth tone. I also suggest for men to bring jeans and plain T-shirts for some versatility.

For Siblings: Simple pieces like linen shorts, a cotton romper, or a plain dress.

I try to avoid heavy logos, bright colors, and shiny fabrics, as these distract from the photo.

3. Layer Simple Textures

When you keep the colors simple, mixing different textures looks gorgeous even in black and white!

Avoid patterns and prints -less is more.
