Choosing the right outfit for your photoshoot can make all the difference in how your images turn out. The right colors, textures, and styles help create a cohesive and timeless look while allowing your personality to shine. Whether you're planning a couples session, a family shoot, or an intimate boudoir experience, this guide will help you feel confident in your clothing choices. Let’s dive into the details and make sure you look and feel amazing in front of the camera!
Your love story deserves to shine, and what you wear can enhance the overall vibe of your session. Here are some tips to create a timeless, cohesive look:
Go for Complementary, Not Matching – Think earthy tones like sand & white, sage & olive green, or brown & cream. Avoid identical outfits; instead, choose colors that blend beautifully together.
Textures Add Depth – Linen, crochet, soft knits, and flowy fabrics photograph beautifully. Mixing different textures adds richness to your look.
Simple is Best – Avoid busy patterns, logos, or text on clothing. Solid colors or subtle, minimal patterns work best.
Dress for Movement – Flowy dresses, relaxed-fit pants, or structured yet comfortable outfits allow for natural movement and candid moments.
Shoes Matter – Barefoot on the beach? Boots for a rugged outdoor feel? Avoid flashy sneakers and stick to styles that match the setting.
Family sessions are about connection and love, so clothing should be comfortable yet visually cohesive.
Color Palette is Key – Choose 2-3 neutral and earthy tones for everyone to work with (beige, warm browns, sage, muted blues, etc.). Avoid super bright colors or neon shades.
Mix Textures & Styles – Pair linen with cotton, crochet with denim, or soft knits with flowy fabrics for a natural and effortless look.
No Large Logos, Text, or Characters – These can be distracting and take away from the timeless feel of your portraits.
Cozy & Layered Looks – Adding a sweater, cardigan, or scarf (if weather permits) creates depth and warmth in the photos.
Comfort for Kids – Little ones should be able to move freely, so choose soft, breathable fabrics that let them play.
Boudoir is all about feeling confident, comfortable, and empowered in your skin. Here’s how to choose the perfect pieces for your session:
Choose Pieces That Make You Feel Amazing – Lingerie sets, bodysuits, oversized button-down shirts, or cozy knit cardigans can all create different moods.
Soft, Neutral & Rich Tones Work Best – Black, white, deep earth tones, muted pastels, and lace details bring a soft, elegant touch.
Textures are Your Friend – Lace, silk, mesh, and soft knit fabrics add variety and depth to your images.
Go Barefoot or Keep It Minimal – Heels can add a touch of glamour, but barefoot can feel more intimate and relaxed.
Accessories Can Elevate the Look – Think delicate jewelry, thigh-high socks, or an oversized blazer for a mix of sultry and chic.
Confidence is key! Wear something you feel good in.
Avoid super tight or super loose clothing. The perfect fit makes a huge difference in how comfortable and natural you look.
Plan ahead – Try on your outfits a few days before to ensure everything fits and feels right.
