Make sure all of the children, and parents if included in the portrait, are wearing the same style clothing. The style is completely up to you whether it is formal, casual, or classic. Just make sure everyone’s style is the same.

Wear matching colors. If you are planning on using a white or light background wear white or pastel colors. The formula is true for dark backgrounds as well - dark backgrounds work best with darker clothes. Don’t mix and match bright and dark colors. Select a consistent color throughout each outfit to give it a cohesive look. And don’t forget mom and dad. This is a great opportunity to get a portrait with just the two of you.
