Useful tips

Booked a session and not sure what to wear? You’re in the right place.

Whether it’s a full family session, maternity, newborn, or a mini session, the key is simplicity and natural harmony. These tips will help you feel confident and stress-free when choosing outfits.

1. Dress for the Location

Your outfit should make sense for where we’re shooting. When clothing matches the environment, everything feels effortless and cohesive.

Beach or Waterfront

Choose light, natural fabrics that move beautifully — linen, cotton, soft knits.
Flowy dresses, relaxed silhouettes, and airy layers work perfectly.

Park or Wooded Area

Skip overly formal looks — blazers or fancy cocktail dresses can feel out of place.
Instead, opt for a casual maxi dress, a cozy sweater with jeans, layered looks, or boots.

In-Home Session

Soft, comfortable fabrics create that intimate, cozy atmosphere.
Think relaxed trousers, loose shirts, knit sets, simple dresses, soft cardigans.

2. Maternity Outfit Ideas

For pregnancy sessions, natural textures and soft silhouettes work best.

Beautiful options include:

  • Flowing dresses in neutral tones
  • Relaxed trousers worn under the belly with an unbuttoned shirt
  • A soft top with an open linen or cotton shirt layered on top
  • Jeans with a light shirt and a simple top underneath (you can gently open the shirt to reveal your belly or keep it closed for a softer look)
  • A fitted dress highlighting your shape with a cardigan layered over it

No flying gowns. No heavy “magazine” styling.
Just you — natural, feminine, and beautifully expecting.

3. How to Choose Colors

🚫 What to Avoid

  • Bright or neon colors (they reflect onto skin and distort tones)
  • Large logos, graphics, or text
  • Yellow-greens in grassy areas (to avoid blending into the background)

✅ What Works Beautifully

  • Earthy and muted tones: soft blues, warm browns, sage greens, dusty pinks, creamy neutrals
  • Jewel tones: burgundy, forest green, deep navy
  • Neutrals mixed with one subtle pop of color

The goal is to keep the focus on you — not the clothes.

4. Use Textures

Textures photograph beautifully and add depth to your images.

Great examples:

  • Linen dresses and tops
  • Cable-knit sweaters
  • Overalls (especially adorable for kids)
  • Knit sets
  • Subtle ruffles or delicate details

Textures break up solid colors and make images feel richer and more layered.

5. Coordinated, Not Matching

You don’t need everyone in identical outfits.

Instead of matching white shirts and beige trousers, choose a cohesive palette.
Mix complementary tones and let one person wear a subtle pattern to add interest.

The result feels natural, intentional, and timeless — not staged.
