It is that time of year again for Spring pictures! My family and I take photos every year during the Spring as well as the Holiday season and I am always so happy to have the beautiful memories to look back on.
If you are planning to take photos this season as well, I’ve rounded up tons of ideas and inspiration on what to wear for Spring pictures.
Whether you have a big family or are taking photos by yourself, this post will be helpful to you! You want to make sure that you feel your best in what you’re wearing for pictures as that confidence comes through in the photos.
Check out my tips for taking pictures and my outfit ideas below. These are all great ideas for the spring when the weather warms up and also great ideas for some adorable mommy and me easter outfits too!
Pin the above photo to your fave Pinterest board to refer back to when you are prepping for your next spring pictures!
Key Details to Consider Before Planning Outfits for Photos
Season – Time of year plays a roll in the weather and of course you want all outfits to be weather appropriate, especially if you are outside
Location – The location of your photos is important for multiple reasons. Will you be inside or outside? Outfits will differ depending on this detail. Also, what will your “backdrop” look like? You want to stand out and not blend in to the background, but also wear something appropriate to fit the style and theme of the place
Occasion – Are you mailing out themed holiday cards, or planning to frame these in your home? Keep this in mind while planning your outfits so it feels appropriate
Color Palette – The color scheme is also important for many reasons and different factors will alter this. Be sure to consider your backdrop/location and the season/occasion. Whether it be neutral tones, bright colors or soft pastels, you of course will want the colors/hues that flatter all of the members of your family, and that coordinate well together
If you are taking Spring family photos, these outfit ideas can work great for the whole family! When it comes to taking a family portrait and coordinating multiple family members, my advice is always to make sure that everyones personal style still comes through even if you are very coordinated via a matching color/theme.
spring family photo outfits
As you can see in the photo above, we are all wearing different outfits but the colors compliment each other and my daughters dresses have the same silhouette – little details like this can help to bring all different looks together into one cohesive feel.
Where to buy spring family photo outfits
Here are some great stores that carry outfits for the whole family so you can do some one stop shopping!
H&M – trendy & affordable pieces from casual to dressy
Old Navy – Great for basics and they even carry shoes!
Buddy Love – not a huge selection but their family matching section has the cutest prints and styles
Amazon – If you search for “family matching outfits” you will get a ton of cute and affordable options
Target – Always great styles and options however, shop early in the season as I find things sell out so fast!
Walmart – Walmart has quickly become one of my favorite spots for finding affordable and cute clothing options for the entire family. You can find some things in store but I find a ton more online!
8 Outfit Theme Ideas to Wear for Spring Pictures:
My girls and I take photos all of the time, so I rounded up some of my favorites of all of our Spring themed looks to share a bunch of ideas and inspiration for outfit themes for your next Spring pictures. Keep in mind that these outfits can work no matter how many people are in your group.
For Spring pictures especially, I love to focus on fun colors and that compliment gorgeous nature scenes in the background. The Spring season is the best time to get outside and as the temperatures rise it is the perfect time to embrace the new season.
#1 All One Color
A really popular theme for family pictures is to coordinate the color scheme and all wear one color! This is a great choice if you have lots of family members to coordinate as it makes it easy and instantly gives a cohesive feel.
lavender outfit ideas
As you can see below, my girls and I did a Spring photoshoot and all wore lavender. This is a color we all love and feels festive and appropriate for the Spring season. Choose whatever color that you &/or your family loves and work around that! It is totally okay if the shades are slightly off, it will still look great all together in the photos.
#2 Mixed Prints
A great way to highlight individual family members personalities is to go for a mixed print theme! As seen below, I wore florals and my daughters wore polka dots. Because their dresses were multi-colored and mine was mostly pink, they still complimented each other even though we did not match perfectly.
mixing prints outfit ideas
My best advice if you want to try the mixed prints route, is to find prints that don’t compete with each other but compliment each other. You can do this by mixing different textures, finding colors that compliment each other and not having too many different contrasting colors in one group.
#3 Bright Colors
In my mind, Spring = bright and fun happy colors! A good pop of color always comes across great on film, and is perfectly festive for the Spring season. Bright colors add life to the photo and give a great focal point. They also look fantastic against natural elements, such as trees/florals if you are outside!
bright colors for family pictures
As seen below, my girls and I rocked bright pinks and their dresses featured rainbow colors. You could do this same idea with a pastel palette as well which would be gorgeous for a Spring theme. Whether you prefer warmer tones or lighter colors, focusing on mixing colors that compliment each other is the best way to get that cohesive look and bring together the entire family.
#4 Spring Florals
Florals for Spring are a timeless feel that are always so fun. My girls and I actually wore matching floral dresses in our photo below which I really loved, but you don’t have to be exactly matching to do this outfit theme!
As much as I love matching mommy and me outfits, you could mix and match different florals that have similar color palettes, and for the men in your life you could do floral printed boy’s shirts to keep the theme going.
floral print dresses for mommy and me
When it comes to florals, I like to focus on prints that feel soft and pretty as opposed to looking too busy or bold. The florals should add an element to the overall theme but not overtake it. This is one of my top tips when it comes to wearing a matching print for the whole family.
#5 Casually Coordinated
I love our casual photo shoots just as much as our dressed up ones, as we are typically in casual wear and these photoshoots always seem to capture us in our natural element. For spring photos and a casual spring themed outfit, denim and feminine detailed tees are the perfect go to! My girls wore little button front skirts with ruffled sleeved tops in light colors, and I wore my favorite distressed denim and puffed sleeved tee. These elevated basics are perfect for the Spring season and all look great together even though they are not exactly the same.
#6 Gingham
Gingham is a very popular print for Spring and I absolutely love the way it looks it photographs. We did a yellow gingham theme as shown below and they are truly some of our favorite photos we have! I love the visual interest that this print brings and that is feels so classic and timeless. This is also an easy print for everyone in the family to wear. Whether its a fully printed dress, or just a printed pocket square in dads blazer – this print can be sprinkled throughout the group to create a cohesive feel.
#7 Dressed Up + Denim
My go to outfit in the Spring is a pretty Spring dress + a denim jacket. It’s the perfect layer for the season, and makes sense for almost every occasion. Take this approach to your next family photo session and you have the perfect effortlessly stylish spring pictures outfit.
As seen below, my daughter and I wore pleated pink skirts, t-shirts and denim jackets in our family photoshoot. I loved that we were fully matching – even down to our purse! You could create this same look with a flowy dress, or cute wide leg pants and a tank with a denim jacket on top.
When it comes to Spring pictures, don’t stress and just have fun with it! Creating these memories is the most important thing and all you truly need is your smile – AKA your best accessory.
If you recreate any of these looks please tag me on instagram @tiffanyish so I can see them! Happy Spring.

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of mommy and me outfits. Having two girls who love to dress up as much as me, I am taking advantage of it while I can! One of my favorite holidays is Valentine’s day so I can’t resist putting together some matching mommy and me valentine outfits!

Valentine Pajamas for the whole family
One of the easiest things to do when you are looking for matching outfits is to find cute pajamas. Plus I love this idea as you could even get daddy a matching set too!
I buy literally everything on Amazon so it’s no surprise that I found the cutest Valentine’s pajamas that are so comfy and affordable! I love that these are a bit different than the usual cotton pajamas and you can do so many different colors/patterns to mix and match for any occasion!
I’ve been buying matching pajamas from Hanna Andersson since my first daughter was born! I love their prints, their bright colors and the quality is amazing. They never shrink or lose color even after lots of washes!
Primary is the best spot to buy kids basics that don’t have anything printed on them. Have you ever noticed how hard it is to find just a plain tee for a kid that doesn’t have unicorns or dinosaurs on it? Well Primary is my go-to when I just want a plain tee for my kids.
They have the most vibrant colors and really great quality for all their pieces. They don’t do many prints but the heart print that they do is so cute and works great for everyone in the family! My girls have the rainbow heart print pajamas and we love them!
The best places to shop for Valentine’s day outfits
It can be hard to find fully matching outfits so my advice is to look for similar colors and patterns. These are the stores that i shop for my girls and I often. My advice is to find a dress that you like for yourself and as you shop around for your kids, look for pieces that will either complement the color or be the same/similar color like our pink dresses.
They don’t specifically have a mommy and me section but since they carry such a huge selection of items I can usually find similar tops or dresses that look great together.
Find some of the cutest dresses and trendy outfits for mom and daughter here! Love the classic yet trendy styles and the price point can be a bit high but the quality is very good.
Great selection for all family outings and fun events. You can find cute matching sweaters, dresses and tops/tees here. And everything is affordable. If you are looking for petite maternity clothes, they have some of the best selection too!
One of the best places to find perfectly matching dresses for the entire family. They have so many styles that are beautiful and modest that can be worn for casual to more special occasions.
It’s always fun to have some new dresses to feel pretty in and I know you and your kids will love these!
If you follow me on instagram you know I’m a fan of mommy and me outfits. It’s fun not just for me but for my girls too. They love being able to dress just like mommy!
DIY Shirts for Valentine’s Day
As someone who loves to craft (I just wish I had more time for it!) I had to create some DIY mommy and me shirts for my girls and I with my Cricut. If you know me, you know I love to create personalized gifts and shirts with my Cricut so I wanted to do something for us that I thought we could wear beyond just Valentine’s day.
Etsy is my go-to for the cutest mommy and daughter shirts. One of my favorite stores for the ultimate in matching mommy and me is LittleMiaBella. They’ve got everything from matching tees to dresses and even swimsuits!
The Little Minnow Shop is a great Etsy shop with so many options for matching tees and sweatshirts not just for Valentine’s day but for all occasions!
Mama and Mini shirts
Since I have girls I’m used to searching for all things for little girls but if you have a boy and still want to do matching outfits, I think getting some “mama” and “babe” or “mini” valentine’s day tees is an adorable idea and looks great for photos too!
It’s a great idea for kids of all ages. You can do them for baby girl’s first valentine or for a baby boy to match his older sibling. There are plenty of options that you can find in so many different colors too!
Truth be told, I’m a hearts lover all year long! I can wear heart prints all the time so I love these for Valentine’s day but also just to wear any time. Pair them with jeans and cute sneakers!
Valentine’s day gifts for kids can be so fun, but why not get something matching for you and your mini? Love all these mama and mini jewelry sets that you can get and gift!
As a mama of two little ones, I am all about mommy and me outfits. My favorite thing of all is matching tees and sweatshirts and I love making them with my Cricut Explore 3. Kids in hoodies are the most adorable thing and something that we would get a lot of wear out of. I picked up a few hoodies for me and my girls and made some custom mama and me sweatshirts.
These are great to make for you and your kids but I also love to use my Cricut to make personalized gifts! Just a fun thing to keep in mind when you are wanting a unique and fun gift for someone.
How to make custom hoodies with Cricut Explore 3
Cricut Design Space makes it so easy as you can easily search through fonts and images. They make it very simple and easy to lay out your designs, change fonts, change sizes, anything that you need to customize your design!
I highly recommend getting the Cricut Access Premium subscription as you get unlimited access to over 100,000 images, 7,000 projects, and 400 fonts, 10% off physical purchases on Cricut.com, including machines and more! It’s helped me so much to create projects easily and quickly.
It’s really easy to get inspiration and ideas from the “projects” tab but I found the cutest “Mama” and Mini” designs when I searched under “image”. It was exactly what I wanted!
I have been loving my new Cricut Explore 3 and the Smart Iron On material. Not having to use a mat makes my projects go by so fast!
I decided that instead of just Mama and Mini on the hoodies that I wanted to make it a little bit more special. We often call my oldest daughter “mini mama” because of how much she helps me out with taking care of her sister. It was just perfect for her hoodie! And the little one got “mini mini” because she is literally a mini version of me and her big sister!
Once the Cricut cut out all the pieces, I laid them onto the shirts to see how they would look. I ended up adding a heart (also found in the images search of Cricut Design Space).
Just a reminder that the words look like just one piece but actually are two different layers, so you’ll need to press down each layer individually. I recommended lining it up on your shirt exactly how you want it before you heat press anything to your shirts!
Here’s how they turned out! Aren’t they so cute? I am so happy with how they turned out and the whole project took me less than an 30 minutes.
My girls and I love wearing out mama and me hoodies and we love that they are custom made just for us!
If you are new to using Cricut machines, this is a great project to start with! Since the “mama” and “mini” come as files that are ready to cut, you really don’t have to do too much with it except for size it to what you are putting it on.
I love sharing easy custom Cricut projects as it’s really become one of my favorite crafting tools. It can create things so quickly and easily but it looks so professional!
Putting together outfits for the whole family is a fun way to get cute pictures so am always looking for the best places to shop for all of us.
If you are the same and love to match your mini, keep reading for the best places to buy mother daughter outfits. Don’t worry, they’re not just kid’s stores, there’s plenty selection of mommy styles too!
When finding a matching outfit, I either look for places that specifically focus on matching family outfits (like Lilly Pulitzer), or I look for places that sell both mom and daughter outfits as separates (like Old Navy).
When you become a new mom, one of my favorite things was taking photos with my baby!
And baby outfits are so easy as they are all so cute but finding the perfect mom daughter outfit can be tough!

My best tip for family photos is to actually start out with mom’s outfit first.
Once you’ve selected your outfit, it’s so much easier to find dresses in the same color or theme of your own outfit.
Don’t always go for matchy matchy
Having a variety within each family member but sticking to the same color scheme or similar styles – for example; ruffle dresses, pleated skirts or one piece to pull everyone’s outfit together like a denim jacket.
If you do want to match, graphic tees and sweatshirts like these valentines day shirts are great for photos.
Matching mom and baby is easier in that you can often find similar patterns or colors.
When you are looking for toddler sizes or little girl and big girl sizes it can be a bit more complicated since a lot of retailers don’t make the same pieces for the entire size range.
My tip is that if you are looking for a variety of sizes try to stick to one retailer as it will be easier to find the same colors or patterns in both kids and adult sizes.
Plus, it makes it so much easier to shop for all your family members at once.
The best places to buy mommy and me matching outfits
Here are some quick links to my favorite places to find matching mother daughter outfits.
The ones that I have a * next to are the ones that have a specific mommy and me section or carry mommy and me matching outfits. The others are all places that sell both women and kids that are easy to find matching outfits.
Walmart* – The most affordable selection and you can find things for the entire family, even your stylish baby! And check out the cute mommy and me matching dresses from the Sofia Vergara collection!

Target – Lots of cute trendy pieces for mom and kids but great basics as well. For moms, my favorite brands from there are Who What Wear and Wild Fable. For kids, check out the Cat & Jack and Art Class brands.
Ivy City Co.* – One of the best places to find perfectly matching dresses for the entire family. They have so many styles that are beautiful and modest that can be worn for casual to more special occasions.

Old Navy – Great for basics so if you are looking for tees/jeans/jackets this is the spot to get them, during the holidays they also have family matching pajamas.
Matching with your kids is so much fun and of course, take advantage of it while they are little and still want to! I try to coordinate outfits with my girls all the time.
A key tip to matching with your kids but also not looking like a kid yourself is find styles that look good on mom first.
A lot of times we gravitate towards the kids styles first as they are so cute, but what happens is, is that the kids look great and then mom doesn’t feel as comfortable in her outfit.
I like to make sure, especially if you plan on taking photos, that mom feels comfortable so that she can relax and feel great while taking pics with her kids.
Stick to the same color theme and match to the environment. If you are taking pictures outside in the fall, look at the colors in the area and try to find colors that will complement them.
Jogger sets are a really easy way to match and be comfy too!

I have bought a few things from the Walmart Sofia Jeans collection previously that I love (and wear a ton!) so I was excited when I got this in the mail and it was even more beautiful in person. I love the soft material and how comfortable it is. The dress has an elastic waist and elastic on the shoulders so very easy to put on. No need to mess with buttons or zippers! The fit runs true to size and I don’t have any issues with shrinking after washing.
Mommy and me Summer dresses
Being that I’m all about mommy and me outfits, I knew that I could find some great stuff for my girls on Walmart and found the most perfect dresses that matched mine!
For summer I look out for fun bright patterns (always great for my very colorful girls!) and of course comfortable! My girls are always running around, at the playground, on their scooters, so I need outfits that they can do all that and more.
We love how soft and comfy both dresses are. As a mom, being able to get outfits that are cute and affordable for the three of us (in one order!) is a win in my book!
Shop our looks:
