What to Wear to a Summer Photo Session

It’s hot outside, but fear not. Here are some cool wardrobe tips to make sure your summer photo session is a hit: 

 

-       Wear light fabrics that let you breath, but still look polished.

-       Really play up the summer accessory factor. I’m talking sun hats for the ladies and big sunglasses for all. 

-       You can even bring summer-appropriate props that complement your outfits. Maybe it’s a beach ball, balloons, giant lollipop or messy ice cream cone. 

-       Choose shoes that are comfortable and summery. Flip flops, loafers, open-toed pumps, even sweet sneakers on your kiddos. 

 

Paloma Grey + Freesia Yellow + Celosia Orange

This citrus­ inspired summer look will make for dazzling portraits that pop even in the brightest of sunlight. The large amount of grey in each outfit keeps the orange and yellow tones from being too overwhelming.

Radiant Orchid + Violet Tulip

Two shades of purple and violet blend beautifully without creating too much of a “matched” look between the photo subjects. Don’t be afraid to get creative with rich, strong hues, as long as you have plenty of white and neutrals to balance it out!

Cayenne

This rich red hue is not for the faint of heart, stealing the attention wherever you go and adding an explosive pop of color to your images. Recommended for urban environments, set against neutral palettes of stone or metal.

Hemlock Green + Paloma Grey

The subtle tones of Hemlock Green and Paloma Grey are intermingle in these vintage ­inspired outfits. A perfect fit for beautiful gardens & cute main street areas. Accessorize with whites and creams to complete the look.

Dazzling Blue + Freesia Yellow

The unbeatable combination of Dazzling Blue and Freesia Yellow is bright and cheerful. Let strong blue tones constitute the majority of the outfits while accessorizing with cheerful pops of yellow. A perfect look for almost any setting.

Sand + Placid Blue + Hemlock Green

Create a look of serenity and unity by combining these soft hues. These colors will really shine during golden hour lighting. Simple, casual pieces create an outfit that’s easy to put together and looks great in photos.

Celosia Orange + Placid Blue

These hues combine for a colorful, casual appeal. With a single article of clothing sporting one of these strong hues, little more is needed to complete the outfit. Great color combo for a comfortable and flattering look.

Violet Tulip + Placid Blue

Casual and beachy! The combination of Violet Tulip and Placid Blue look stunning together. Calm, quiet, and breezy, these cool colors are perfect set against warm­tone backgrounds such as sand, wood, and sunsets.
