When it comes to children, dressing them for your Hawaii family portraits can be so much fun! What they wear adds to their personality — whether they’re loving, reserved, playful, full of spunk, or everything at once, a great outfit can help them glow in their photos.
The options are limitless and there’s no end to the level of cuteness you can achieve in your Hawaii family portraits! We’re here to give you some inspiration and shopping suggestions to help you find the perfect kid-outfits for your family photos!
Suspenders?! Yes, please! We love the look little Luca brought to these morning Hawaii family portraits at Baldwin Beach. Those navy suspenders, that cute bowtie, and those patterned bottoms over a light blue collared shirt stole the show! It doesn’t get any better than shots like this! If you’re digging the old school vibes of this cutie, snag his look here. And check out below for a charming example of suspenders with deep green trousers. Nothing says “sophisticated kiddo” like this classic staple!
We’re all over the overalls! We love the look Presley brought to her Hawaii family portraits on this sunset evening at Thompson Road. This Upcountry location is a prime spot flooded with vintage feels, so overalls paired with a mustard headband and shirt were the perfect combo! Old Navy has a great selection of overalls, and if you’re looking for inspo for the whole fam, come read our Top 10 Best Dressed Families of 2019 for outstanding outfit examples.
We love to go with the flow during your Hawaii family portraits! And when you’re contemplating your precious little one’s getup, consider the flow and movement of the fabric and cut. The two world-shakers above were a blast to capture — always on the go and sporting dresses almost as lively as they are! For special-occassion dresses with heaps of layers, check out the styles at JJ’s House.
We’re green with envy over how stylish these awesome kids are! If your Hawaii family portraits are captured on one of our gorgeous beaches, consider dressing your future-doctors-and-presidents in shades to complement the rich colors of the seascape. And that means more than just the blues! From olive to teal to seafoam, accenting the emeralds of the ocean will liven up your color palette and add a soft touch of unexpected vibrance.
Baby headbands are some of the cutest little touches to add to baby’s outfit. Find some of our favorite styles on Etsy, and be sure to order these a few weeks before your shoot to make sure it gets in on time!
We love that jumpsuits are chugging strong on the fashion train for kids these days! I mean look how cute Baylee’s mustard jumpsuit is as she plays with her sister Zoey in Kauai! Zulily is just one of the many places we’ve found jumpsuits that are fit for Hawaii family portraits!
Of course, what matters most is that your little one is comfortable and happy! Consider letting them choose their own outfit (maybe after you’ve curated the ones they can choose from). Or have them sport their favorite outfit as a memento of this special time in their life… and if all else fails, don’t be afraid to bust out a cute costume! Enjoy your Hawaii family portraits and watch your little one just “bee” themselves!
We can’t wait to see how you’ll style your kiddos for their photo op! And if you have any questions or need outfit advice, let us know and we’ll be happy to help!
