Choosing outfits shouldn’t be stressful. This guide walks you through colors, textures, and simple outfit formulas that photograph beautifully—whether we’re shooting at the beach, in the Diablo hills, city streets, or your cozy living room. Save this, share it, and come back before every session.
TL;DR Outfit Checklist
1) Coordinate, don’t match (think complementary colors, not identical shirts).
2) Colors that photograph well: Solid Colors and Neutrals.
3) Prioritize movement & texture (flowy fabrics, knits, linen, gauze, lace).
4) Avoid neon, loud logos, tiny stripes and prints that can overpower the photos.
5) Shoes matter (neutral, clean).
