What colors look best for a family beach photo session?

Neutral tones, soft pastels, and earthy hues like beige, cream, light blue, or sage green tend to photograph beautifully by the beach. Avoid bright neons or busy patterns that can distract from the natural setting.

Should we all match for our family photos?

Matching is not necessary. Instead, aim for coordination—choose a color palette and have each person wear variations within it. This brings unity without appearing too uniform.

What should my kids wear for our family photo shoot?

Dress children in comfortable, fitted clothing in line with your chosen color palette. Avoid large logos or characters. Add layers or texture like cardigans, dresses, or accessories for visual interest.

Do you provide a style guide after booking?

Yes! Once your session is confirmed, I’ll send over my exclusive 'What to Wear Guide' to help you plan outfits that look amazing on camera and match your session location.

Why What You Wear Matters
‍Your wardrobe plays a huge role in how your photos turn out. Coordinated outfits in soft, complementary tones can bring harmony to your images, helping your family’s connection shine through. On the other hand, clashing colors, bold patterns, or distracting logos can take the focus away from what truly matters—your family’s love and connection.
