LOOK GOOD, FEEL AMAZING & LET YOUR LOVE SHINE!

 
 

Color Palette

Choosing the right colors helps create a beautiful, cohesive look that photographs well in any setting.

BEST COLOR FAMILIES:

Neutrals: Cream, taupe, beige, ivory, soft gray

Earthy Tones: Sage, rust, terracotta, dusty rose, mustard

Soft Pastels: Blush pink, pale blue, lavender, mint

Deep Hues: Emerald, navy, burgundy, charcoal for a more formal or cozy vibe

Avoid: Neon colors, large logos, and ultra-bright white—these can reflect light harshly or distract from your faces.

Cohesive, NOT Matching

Think in tones and textures, not twin outfits. Choose outfits that complement each other, not ones that are identical.

Outfit Pairing Ideas:

Idea 1: Flowy blush dress, tan chinos/shoeties + cream or sage linen shirt + jeans

Idea 2: Rust midi dress, boots, cream knit sweater + Light gray button-up, dark jeans

Idea 3: Jewel toned crop top, holey light jeans + Black jeans, denim jacket

Bring 2 outfits – one dressy, one casual. It gives your session variety and more personality.

Textures & Layers

Textures add visual interest, especially in close-ups.

Great textures: Linen, knit, tulle, denim, corduroy, suede, lace

Add a jacket, cardigan, vest, or hat for dimension.

Gentle layers move well in the wind and bring photos to life.

Layer up the jewelry! It is like the icing on the cake and makes the finished product look refined and purposeful.

Speaking of….

Shoes & Accessories

Wear shoes you can walk in easily – sessions often involve some movement.

Neutral boots, strappy sandals, or barefoot on the beach = yes

Avoid bright sneakers or flashy logos

Add a felt hat, belt, dainty jewelry, or watch for subtle detail and a polished look.

Don’t forget your NAILS! Neutral colors are always best. And what a great chance to schedule a manicure ;)

What to Expect from the Shoot

  • Sessions are typically scheduled during golden hour for dreamy light.

  • Expect movement, laughter, and a lot of cuddling.

  • I’ll guide you the whole time, so you’re never awkward—promise!

Bonus: What to Bring

  • Champagne or sparkling water for a toast photo

  • A polaroid or handwritten note to each other, or even a small gift!

  • Your dog (if you have one and want them in a few pics!)

Final Tips

  • Try on your outfits ahead of time – check for fit, comfort, and how they move.

  • Steam or iron clothes beforehand to avoid wrinkles.

  • Light makeup and natural hair photograph beautifully.

  • Bring water, a comb, and touch-up items (like lipstick or powder) in a small bag.
