What Do I Wear for My Photos?

The most common question before any session? “What should I wear?” The right outfit can completely transform your photos—making them look timeless, natural, and cohesive. Don’t stress—I’ve got you covered with easy tips that work for families, couples, and individuals alike.

1. Choose Coordinating, Not Matching
If you’re doing group photos, think coordination over identical outfits. Pick 2–3 complementary colors (like sage, cream, and tan) and mix textures such as denim, linen, and knits to add depth without clashing.

2. Stick to Neutral and Earthy Tones
Neutrals and soft tones photograph beautifully in natural light. Think beige, ivory, dusty blue, blush, or olive. Avoid loud patterns or logos—they can distract from your faces and connection.

3. Dress for Comfort and Confidence
If you feel uncomfortable, it’ll show. Choose outfits that make you feel confident and fit the location. Flowing dresses, tailored pants, or cozy layers—whatever helps you move freely and feel like yourself.

4. Consider the Season and Setting
Your location sets the tone! For fall photos, rich warm tones like rust or mustard pop beautifully. For beach sessions, light fabrics and bare feet feel natural. Think of your setting as part of your outfit palette.

5. Don’t Forget the Details
Accessories, shoes, and hair all tie the look together. Keep jewelry simple, shoes clean, and nails neutral. The little things matter more than you’d think.
