One of my clients' most asked questions when it comes to booking their photoshoot is, "What should I wear?!?"
Deciding what to wear for your beach photoshoot should not be complicated or stressful! I've photographed many families, couples and children, I've see what looks good with the colors of the beach, so as your photographer I'm here to help! To help you, I've put together some color schemes and outfit ideas for your session that will look nice and can work with any family.
First thing to think about when choosing your outfits is the beautiful soft colors you often see during the warm summer evenings at the beach. If I close my eyes, the colors that stand out to me are pink and pastel colored skies, turquoise and blue waters, and gray or tan sand. These are going to be the best base colors to use, and incorporate into your family portraits. White and blues (bold or pastel) stand out beautifully against the soft colors of the beach and also look great next to your sun-kissed tan.
BLUE & WHITE
BLUE & WHITE
This fresh color palette works perfectly for your beach portraits because it imitates your surroundings. Different shades of blue work well together, add adding white to the palette makes the look more sophisticated. Pastels, bold blues, and navy blues all work beautifully together.
WHITE & TAN
WHITE & TAN
Another timeless look for beach portraits is white and tan. This works well together and stands out among the colors of the ocean and dunes. If you decide to go for this look, we recommend trying to coordinate these two colors, instead of everyone with the same style. For example, ladies can wear a solid color white or tan dress and men can wear a white top with khaki colored shorts or pants.
ALL WHITE
ALL WHITE
It may seem very formal to think of wearing all white, but it looks classic and shows class! You can add multiple textures with long flowing dresses, button-down shirts and jumpers to go for a unique look. The all-white looks also look beautiful in print, creating timeless classic wall art.
SOFT PINK & WHITE
SOFT PINK & WHITE
This look is one of my favorites! It is less traditional, but is very classy and elegant. Soft pink compliments sun-kissed skin tones very well and makes for glowing images. It's also a bonus when we get soft pink glows in the sky to match!
PINK & BLUE
PINK & BLUE
This color combination mimics the beach surrounding perfectly during an early morning sunrise or an evening sunset glow. Try pink or salmon colored polos for the men/boys, and blue bottoms. Ladies will look stunning in a soft pink or blue flowing dress.
PASTELS AND FLORALS
PASTELS & FLORALS
A simple floral print on the beach speaks soft and pretty. It's a beautiful print for girls to wear on a flowing dress, or guys to show off their style with a simple floral shirt. Having a mix of soft pastels including turquoise, blue, pink, and tans work well together! There all the colors you see in the landscape that perfectly pair your family with the beach.
