Spring in Raleigh is one of those magical times of year when everything feels fresh, light, and full of life. The flowers are blooming, the light is golden, and the weather is finally warming up. It’s the kind of season that practically begs you to slow down and make a memory or two with your favorite people. If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos, this is your sign. My Raleigh Spring sessions are officially open for booking, and they’re the perfect way to celebrate this sweet, fleeting season—especially if you’ve got little ones who don’t love long photo sessions. And if you’re wondering What to Wear For Spring Family Photos? I’ve got you covered.

Why Spring Family Photos Are Perfect for Families with Young Kids

Let’s be honest—traditional full-length photo sessions can be a bit much when you have toddlers running around or kids who’d rather be doing anything else. That’s exactly why outdoor sessions were made for families with young children.

These sessions offer enough time to capture real connection and sweet, in-between moments—without stretching anyone’s patience too thin. Kids stay engaged but are much more playful, parents stay relaxed, and you end up with beautiful images that feel like your family at its best while enjoying the outdoors. The spring setting—with its soft light, fresh blooms, and new life—is just the cherry on top.

What to Wear for Spring Family Photos

Now, let’s talk about outfits. One of the biggest questions I get is: What should we wear? The good news is, when it comes to Spring family portraits, the answer is simple—think light, soft, and timeless.

A great place to start is by choosing mom’s outfit first. Something soft and flowy in a neutral or pastel color—like ivory, blush, sage green, or a dusty blue—always photographs beautifully and sets the tone for the rest of the family. Once you’ve picked your outfit, it’s easy to coordinate everyone else around those tones.

For little ones, you don’t need anything fussy. Soft cottons or linen outfits in simple tones (think oatmeal, cream, pale pinks) help keep the focus on their sweet expressions rather than on busy patterns or logos. Comfort is key—if they feel good in what they’re wearing, it shows.

If you’re not sure where to start, don’t worry, below are some of my favorite combinations this year. And if you need a second opinion, I’m always happy to help you choose outfits that will photograph beautifully.
