ALL ABOUT
Family Photo Styling
Family Photo Stylist
Hate stressing about what to wear for family photos?
You’ve got better things to do than spiral over color palettes and wondering if that one shirt “goes.”
After working with a stylist for my family photos, I never went back to choosing outfits myself.
It was that good.
I want that same low-stress experience for you, too.
So I teamed up with Amber, a professional stylist who gets real-life family dynamics (and real-world closets).
Together, we created an easy, stress-free styling option so you can show up confident, coordinated, and totally unbothered by what everyone’s wearing.
Problem: meet solution.
We style families from anywhere.
Don’t let the photographer website throw you off—it doesn’t matter who’s taking your photos, Amber can style your family.
Anywhere in the U.S., and any photographer—we’ve got you covered.
“Working with Amber to style our family photos was so easy, and really took a load off my plate! She took our style and preferences into account and found the perfect outfits for each of us.”
—Ashlie, family photo styling client
How it works
INQUIRE
Let Amber know you’d like styling help by filling out the inquiry form. If Amber has room for you in her schedule, you’ll pay the styling fee and we’ll be off and running!
BACKGROUND
Your stylist starts by gathering information about you and your family: style, budget, existing items you want to incorporate, location type (urban, park, etc.) and fave colors.
CURATING
Next, she goes to work putting together outfits according to your budget. She’ll create a “mood board” of items for your entire family (example below), usually a couple of variations.
FEEDBACK
You get up to two revisions to your mood board at this stage; your stylist may provide additional revisions at her discretion. All recommended items will have links to buy.
BUY & TRY
You’ll purchase the new items on your own, and once they arrive, you’ll try everything on to check fit. You’ll also share photos with your stylist to ensure color is as expected.
FINALIZE
She’ll suggest alternatives for items that need to be adjusted due to sizing or color. You’ll send your stylist a snapshot of all the items together for one last color and coordination check.
Styling Fee
$225
Includes up to 4 people
- Groups of 5–8: +$25 per additional person
- Groups of 9 or more: +$40 per additional person
Apollo & Ivy Photography clients receive 50% off the styling fee.
The fee is based on headcount, since everyone—even babies—is styled to complement the rest of the group.
Things to know
- LEAD TIME: AT LEAST 3 WEEKS before your session (preferably 5+). This allows time to return items that don’t fit and make adjustments.
- BUDGET friendly. Styling doesn’t have to mean buying all new. Amber can help you shop your closet, too! All families buy some new items, but Amber’s a pro at finding cute items at Old Navy, Target, and on Amazon.
You’ll get a mood board just like this one (with options!) so you can see it all come seamlessly together.
