Our 4th of July Mini Sessions are full of patriotic charm, timeless summer energy, and festive fun. Whether you’re dressing your kids, your whole family, or just want to make the most of this red, white, and blue moment, a little outfit planning goes a long way in making your photos shine.

Red toy car, patriotic decor with "America" signs, stars, and stripes. Hat with flag design, and white flowers. Grass and festive bunting.

Here are our top tips on what to wear for your session:

1. Stick to red, white, and blueClassic and always festive, these colors never go out of style. You don’t need to wear all three—choose one or two and mix them in with neutrals like denim, khaki, or white to keep the look balanced.

2. Keep it simple and timelessThink denim overalls, cotton sundresses, chambray shirts, or solid-colored tees. Clean, simple clothing allows the theme to come through naturally without distracting from your sweet faces.

3. Avoid logos and busy patternsSkip the large graphics or brand names—these can take away from the overall look and feel of your photos. If you want to add some fun, go for subtle stars, stripes, or gingham prints in classic colors.

4. Add festive accessoriesBandanas, bows, suspenders, straw hats, and tiny flags are adorable and easy ways to add a pop of patriotic spirit without overwhelming the outfit. These little touches bring personality and flair to your session.

5. Coordinate for groupsFor siblings or families, coordinate rather than match. Dress in the same color palette (for example, one child in a red dress, another in a blue shirt with khaki shorts, and a parent in white or denim). This creates a pulled-together look while keeping things visually interesting.

6. Comfort mattersOur sessions are short and fun, but they’re still outdoors in the summer sun. Choose breathable fabrics and clothes your kids can move around in comfortably. Happy kids = happy photos.
