How to prepare your family for a perfect portrait session: A common thread that ties together these family portraits is well-fitted clothing and thoughtful color choices that showcase your personal style. Having photographed over a thousand family portraits over two and a half decades, I’ve learned a thing or two about creating beautiful family portraits. Aside from finding the perfect location and flattering light, clothing is the key ingredient in creating fun, relaxed, and timeless family portraits. I’ve learned how to make families look their best effortlessly. When dressing for group portraits, the key is coordinating complementary colors.
Choose colors that flatter your skin, hair, and eye color.
Enhance eye color with complementary accessories.
Embrace bold colors and pastels for family photos.
Ensure clothing fits well to highlight your best features.
Avoid wrinkling fabrics and opt for well-draped outfits.
Dress for full-length portraits, including matching socks and shoes.
Use simple patterns and bold colors to show off your personality.
Layer with textures like knits, silk scarves, and denim.
Mix long sleeves with short, and leggings with skirts.
Wear clothes that make you feel confident and comfortable.

I have always been told that I was not very photogenic….I’ve never liked getting my picture taken. I heard the comments from other friends that had professional portraits done, how easy Marc is to work with, and how happy they were with the results. Marc made the sitting so easy. He calmed my nerves and helped me to relax and enjoy the process. I highly recommend Marc to anyone who wants gorgeous portraits. On a scale from 1-10, with 10 being the best, I would give him a 12!

Marc is a creative genius, fully committed to excellence, with an incredible sense of humor. The characteristics that he embodies are captured through his lens and made beautiful for his clients. He has the eye and patience for a posed family portrait, but those rare spontaneous moments that he captures become the most coveted portraits for a lifetime.

You can hire a photographer who knows how to use his gear or hire an artist who creates an amazing image. Marc is an artist, a professional, and a fun guy. He is wonderful and patient with my young daughters … being goofy, and getting them to smile. I continue to go back to Marc because he’s a great artist who captures a moment, an emotion, and unforgettable images.
