ALL ABOUT
Family Photo Styling
“This sucks, I give up!”
That’s certainly what I said to myself the last time I attempted to choose outfits for family photos.
It’s my least favorite part about family photos, tbh.
Sound familiar?
What you wear in your photos matters, and savvy outfit curating isn’t a skill that comes naturally to everyone.
After working with a stylist for my own family photos, I wanted to offer the same service to other families. In tandem with a couple of fashionable moms, that’s exactly what we do.
Problem: meet solution.
We style families from anywhere.
Even if you’re not working with Apollo & Ivy Photography for your photos, we can style your family.
No matter where you live, and no matter which photographer you’re working with—we got you.

ABOUT YOUR CREW
Your stylist starts by gathering information about you and your family: style, budget, existing items you want to incorporate, where your session’s taking place, and fave color palettes.
STEADY STYLIN’
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).
FEEDBACK AND REVISIONS
You provide feedback on the outfits, and she’ll make adjustments. You get up to two revisions to your mood board, though your stylist can make additional tweaks at her discretion if she chooses.
Everything she recommends will come with a link to purchase the item.
ADJUST AS NEEDED
If something is out of stock, or doesn’t fit, she’ll suggest alternatives. Et voila! Done!
Things to know
- We need at least three weeks to style your family before your session. This allows time to return/exchange any items that don’t fit.
- Communication is key. If you have a certain “look” in mind, let the stylist know up front so she can nail your style the first time.
- Budget friendly. Using the styling service doesn’t have to mean buying all new stuff. Amber can help you shop your closet as well as picking out key new items. All families buy some new items, but you’d be surprised what you can find on Amazon!
Styling Fee
$200
For families of 4 or fewer
(Add $10 per person for families of 5+)
Apollo & Ivy Photography clients get 50% off the base styling fee.
The fee is based on headcount; every person in a family requires effort to coordinate with the rest.
Remember, you are responsible for the cost of any items you decide to purchase, but we’ll only suggest items that are within your budget.
