What to Wear for Your Session

Choosing outfits doesn’t have to feel overwhelming - I promise.

The goal isn’t perfection… it’s creating something that feels natural, effortless, and you.

Think of this as a simple guide to help everything come together beautifully without overthinking it.


Keep It Simple + Timeless

Less really is more when it comes to photos.

Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and muted colours always photograph best and keep the focus on you—not your outfit.

Think creams, beige, soft browns, sage, muted blush, light denim, and whites.

Avoid anything too bold, neon, or heavily patterned, as it can take away from the feeling of your images.


Start with One Outfit, Then Build

If you’re planning for multiple people, start with one outfit—usually yours—and build everyone else around it.

You don’t need to match—just coordinate.

Aim for tones that complement each other rather than identical outfits.


Texture Over Pattern

Instead of busy prints, choose texture.

Linen, knits, cotton, and flowy fabrics add depth and softness without being distracting.

This is what creates that dreamy, effortless look.


Comfort Is Everything

If you don’t feel comfortable, it will show.

Choose pieces you feel confident and relaxed in—something you can move, sit, and cuddle in easily.

For little ones, the same rule applies. The more comfortable they are, the better the photos will be.


Movement Makes the Magic

Flowy dresses, oversized sweaters, and loose fabrics bring your photos to life.

They create those soft, in-between moments that feel like real memories.


Little Details Matter

Keep accessories minimal and intentional.

Barefoot, simple jewelry, and natural hair and makeup all add to that timeless, effortless feel.


Final Thoughts

You don’t need to overthink it! The best photos come from connection, movement, and real moments—not perfect outfits.

I’ll guide you the entire way through your session. Your only job is to show up, be present, and just be you.


For kids, a little motivation helps! Let them know they’ll get a treat after the session if they listen and try their best—it makes everything smoother and more fun for everyone!
