As photographers, we know that one of the biggest pain points for clients when preparing for family photos is figuring out what to wear, especially for little boys. It’s easy to find beautiful dresses for moms or adorable outfits for little girls, but finding stylish, timeless, photo-friendly outfits for boys? That can feel like a scavenger hunt.

That’s exactly why I’ve put together this curated, shoppable list of some of my favorite clothing picks for boys, perfect for family sessions and client closets. Whether you’re a photographer wanting to stock your client wardrobe with versatile boy options, or you simply want to share this with your clients as outfit inspiration, these pieces are neutral, classic, and photograph beautifully.
