Stylish Neutral Family Photoshoot Outfits
Choosing outfits for a family photoshoot can feel like a lot! You want everyone to look their best, coordinate as a group, and still let each person’s personality shine through. The good news? Neutrals make it all so much easier.
Soft, muted tones blend beautifully and give you the freedom to mix different fabrics, styles, and fits without things looking chaotic.
I’ve hand-picked a big list of stunning family photo outfit ideas to take the stress out of planning and help you walk into your shoot feeling calm, confident, and camera-ready.
The Best Neutrals to Choose
Neutral colors for photos include shades that appear to be void of color, or have a muted color undertone. And then there are also neutrals with color undertones, and muted colors that complement neutrals. A combination of any of the following are excellent options:
- black
- white or ivory
- cream
- beige
- grey (all shades)
- brown
- taupe
- tan or camel
- mist blue
- sage green
- olive green
- blush
- navy blue
With all of the neutral colors listed above, you can have a variety of shades – for example light grey, medium grey, or charcoal grey. So, when it comes to neutral color choices for photos, there’s a very wide selection to choose from!
Neutral Family Outfit Inspiration
I’ve found stunning inspiration for your next family photo outfits! Below is everything from feminine and floral to dark and edgy, so you’re sure to find a perfect look for you and your family.
creams & beige.
This look is super classy and stylish! The mom is in a flowy beige dress, the kids are wearing cream, beige, and a touch of tan (khaki is a great pants option for boys and dad). The dad wears a beige linen shirt to match mom’s dress and darker brown shorts anchor the look.
This is a beautiful, soft outfit combination for beach shoots, or a spring or early fall photo session.
airy & crips whites.
Keep things light and airy with crisp whites and anchor with a pop of black or dark brown.
I love this mix of feminine white dresses and the dark pants and light t-shirt on the dad. These light and airy colors look great against the brown field which could ordinarily look drab, but here looks like the perfect backdrop.
light linen & subtle stripes.
The neutral hues look effortless in this sweet family photo with mom in two outfits, including a striped neutral dress – scroll through to the last photo! Baby looks so sweet in a white dress, and dad in a white shirt with muted blue jeans.
For an overall neutral look you can still include light wash or dark wash denim, I just recommend you avoid bright saturated blue denim as it will take away from the neutral tones.
dreamy ivory.
Talk about stunning! This casual, yet elevated neutral family outfit combination is one of our top picks. You can easily recreate this look for a photoshoot in any season and keep it indoors, or take the look outside.
The mom is in oatmeal color soft knit dress with a white cardigan, dad is in a simple white shirt and brown pants, and the little babe is in a flecked grey and white jumper with the cutest little ivory booties.
Can everyone wear the same color?
When it comes to family photo outfits, having everyone wear the same color—especially shades like white, black, ivory, or cream—can look incredibly polished and cohesive. Neutrals photograph beautifully and bring a calm, timeless feel to your images.
If you’re leaning toward brighter or non-neutral colors, it’s best not to have everyone in the exact same shade, as it can feel a little overpowering on camera. Instead, try mixing in those bolder tones with neutral pieces to keep the overall look balanced and effortless.
mostly black
When I say neutrals people often think of light colors like ivory and beige, but solid black is a perfectly family photo neutral that should not be ignored. Case in point above!
The black pops against the green outdoors and has a super classy, slightly edgy look that definitely works. If you think all black is a little too much, add in touches of beige or tan to break it up.
Taupe, tan, & ivory.
Taupe, taupe, taupe! The combination of rustic taupe tones, ivory, and a touch of tan is perfection in this family photoshoot. Also, the cozy knits make the look perfect for cooler months, as you can wear the outfits indoors or out.
When going with neutrals, adding different textures is a great idea. Pointelle stitching, fuzzy fabrics, and ribbed detailing can create variation among the similar tones.
light denim & neutrals.
As I mentioned previously, combining neutrals with light wash denim is totally acceptable for a laid-back, casual family photoshoot.
I love the combination this family is wearing with light wash denim and soft neutral knit sweaters. It’s perfect for a casual fall or winter photoshoot.
The matching Birkenstocks and cozy socks are an extra cute touch!
Neutrals & soft pastels.
Crisp white takes centre stage with this family photo. I love how light and airy the overall vibe is and the bright whites are balanced with ivory beige, and soft pastel tones on the dad and kids.
Even though the mom is in a pretty dress, the overall look remains laid-back and casual. So precious!
Black, browns & ivory.
This take on neutral family photos includes the perfect mix of black, suede brown, and a pop of ivory and white. The suede, leather, and knits make it perfect for fall, as the fabrics and neutral tones are warm and moody.
Pro Tip: Choose the neutral tones that match the overall vibe you are going for. Darker tones including black, brown, and charcoal will give you a moodier feel, whereas creams, whites and ivory will be more light and airy.
Crisp & airy white.
How incredibly precious is this fam??
The bright white pops so perfectly on the green grassy background. And the dad’s lightly striped linen shirt adds a touch of contrast. Here, because the outfits are so white, the textures of embroidery and lace play an important role.
If the weather isn’t cooperating on your photoshoot day, a white room with a drop cloth is a great way to create a light neutral backdrop.
Camel tones & cream.
Next on my list is a stunning outfit combination on another beautiful family. Light creams and ivory are blended with muted and dark camel tones to create an overall neutral look.
I love how the light and dark colors create a subtle contrast and each person has a unique outfit, but they all blend seamlessly.
Anything-but-basic beige.
This look is giving me major vintage coastal vibes. The neutral beige and oatmeal tones work so well together against the landscape. Also, the dad in muted mist blue (or perhaps it’s light grey, it’s a little hard to tell!) adds a littler more interest to the photos.
Remember, the great thing about neutral outfit combinations for family pictures is that you can easily combine different clothing styles like a peasant dress, linen button-up, chino pants, and a knit sweater in this photo.
Neutral gingham & olive green.
This set of family photos shows just how easily prints can mix when the general foundation is neutrals. Here, the mom is in a beautiful neutral gingham print dress and dad wears a muted olive green shirt with faded blue jeans.
The girls are in a mix of neutrals and subtle prints. The whole combination gives cottagecore vibes and I’m here for it!
Perfect contrast.
I truly cannot get enough of this urban family photoshoot. The white and black contrast is stark but it works so well in this city street setting. It’s modern and editorial, a look that feels cool and effortless.
I love how the mom is in a monochromatic ivory outfit, and the dad and son add in pops of contrast with black pieces. Perfection!
Beautiful brown & tan.
Don’t be afraid to mix things up with neutral tones by adding some gorgeous contrast to make your photos pop!
The light color on the little one and rich dark brown on mom looks so gorgeous. A mix of dark brown and beige bring the perfect mid-tones to round out the whole combination.
Cozy in black, white, & beige.
If you want more of a modern and moody vibe for your family photos, go darker. This fall or winter photoshoot gives a cozy vibe with a mix of black, white, and beige.
Again, textures lend to the cozy feel of the photos with the knit sweaters, corduroy jacket, and dark leather boots.
White, ivory & creams.
This neutral family photoshoot showcases how varying shades of white and ivory can look so lovely.
If you scroll to the fourth image in the carousel, you’ll see how each little girl is in a unique outfit of a different shade, but the look still feels cohesive. I also love that the dad is in a black shirt to add just a subtle touch of contrast and give the photos a fall vibe.
