What should I wear to my session?

Wondering what you should wear to your session? You’re not alone—choosing outfits can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. With a little planning, your clothing can enhance the beauty of your photos and help you feel confident in front of the camera. Here are some simple tips to guide you.

1. Consider Your Backdrop

Your location will influence your outfit choices more than you might think.

• Nature settings: Soft, neutral tones (think creams, tans, dusty blues, sage greens) blend beautifully with outdoor landscapes without competing with the scenery. 

• Urban sessions: Bold colors or sleek, modern outfits pop against city streets and architecture.

• Beach sessions: Flowy fabrics and light colors look timeless against sand and surf, while deeper hues add a striking contrast.

2. Coordinate, Don’t Match

Gone are the days of everyone wearing identical white shirts and jeans. Instead, aim for a cohesive color palette with complementary tones. Think “same vibe” rather than “same shirt.” 

3. Keep Comfort in Mind

If you’re uncomfortable in your clothes, it will show in your photos. Make sure you can sit, walk, and move easily in whatever you choose.

4. Mind the Details

Wrinkles, lint, and scuffed shoes will stand out in close-up shots. Give your outfits a quick check before the session, and bring a small bag with lint rollers, safety pins, and touch-up items.
