What to wear for a Paris family photo session? What colours look the best on photographs? How many colours do we choose?

These are the questions most of you are asking me. This is why, as a professionnal photographer specialised in family portraits in Paris, I wanted to make a blog post on that, so you can easily choose the outfits for your Summer family photo session in Paris.

 

1) How does Summer look like in Paris?

This Summer 2018 is a really warm one. At the moment, it is sunny most of the time and the temperature averages 20°C (68 Fahrenheit) in the morning and around 30°C (86 Fahrenheit) in the afternoon. 

However, some Summer days can be chilly in Paris, especially in the morning.

That’s why it would be nice to anticipate a cardigan for example.

 

2) So, what to wear for a Summer family photoshoot?

 

1. Yellow or red are great colors on photos

Yellow and red colors are vivid colors, which will add a joyful touch to your portraits.
