What to Wear Guide for Your Photo Session
Your photo session is all about capturing genuine moments and emotions.
To help you look and feel your best, here are some styling tips for a beautiful and timeless look:
1. Choose a Coordinated Color Palette
Instead of matching outfits, opt for a coordinated color scheme with complementary tones. Soft pastels, neutrals, and earthy tones work beautifully in an outdoor setting. Think of the following shades :
- Soft blues, blush pinks, creams, and light grays for a dreamy, airy look.
- Warm earth tones like sage green, terracotta, mustard, and whites for a cozy and natural feel.
2. Wear Flowy, Comfortable Fabrics
Soft, breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, and chiffon photograph well and allow for movement.
3. Keep It Classic and Timeless
Avoid loud patterns, large logos, or overly trendy pieces that might distract from the connection and emotion in your photos. Subtle patterns, textures like lace or knit, and classic styles work best.
4. Dress for the Season & Location
- Spring/Summer: Light, airy dresses for moms, rompers or light-colored pants.
- Fall/Winter: Sweaters, layers, and boots in warm, neutral tones.
5. Coordinate Accessories Thoughtfully
- Shoes: Neutral sandals, flats, or casual sneakers for a relaxed and polished look.
- Hats, Headbands & Bows: Soft and neutral accessories add charm without overwhelming the image.
- Minimal Jewelry: Simple, delicate pieces keep the focus on your connection.
6. Hair & Makeup
- Soft, natural makeup enhances your features while keeping a fresh, timeless look.
- Loose waves, soft curls, or a casual updo look great in outdoor settings and withstand movement.
7. Bring a Personal Touch (Optional)
If you’d like, bring a small sentimental item—to add a personal and meaningful element to your session.
8. Most Importantly: Be Comfortable & Be You!
Wear outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable so you can relax and enjoy these special moments.
