Timeless, effortless, and true to you.
What you wear can set the tone for your photos — but above all else, I want you to feel confident and comfortable. The more at ease you feel in your outfit, the more naturally your connection and personality will shine through. That’s what makes your photos come alive. I’ve put together some simple tips and inspiration to help you choose pieces that not only look beautiful on camera but make you feel your best.
What to wear?
Neutral, earthy tones — think cream, beige, olive, rust, brown, tan, or muted blues. These tones photograph beautifully in every season.
Movement-friendly fabrics — linen, cotton, gauze, or knits catch light softly and allow natural motion.
Subtle coordination, not matching — mix textures and tones instead of identical colors.
Layers add dimension — jackets, shawls, cardigans, or hats can make your look more cinematic.
What to avoid:
Now, I’m not here to tell you what not to wear — if something makes you feel amazing, wear it. Confidence always photographs best. These are simply a few things that can be trickier on camera and might not translate as well in photos:
- Bright or neon colors – they can cast unwanted tones onto your skin.
- Large logos or bold graphics – they tend to pull focus from you.
- Busy or distracting patterns – simple textures usually photograph more beautifully.
- Clothing that’s too tight or restrictive – movement looks best when you’re comfortable.
- All-black outfits – they can appear flat, especially in outdoor light.
- Uncomfortable shoes – we move around a lot during sessions, so skip anything that pinches, blisters, or makes it hard to walk. Choose shoes you can comfortably move, explore, and interact in — the more relaxed you feel, the more natural your photos will look.

Additional Tips...
1. Dress for the setting and season.
Think about where we’re shooting — flowy pieces for open fields, cozy layers for fall forests, or something more polished for city or downtown spots. Outfits that feel in tune with the environment always look the most natural.
3. Movement is magic.
Clothes that move — flowy dresses, open jackets, lightweight fabrics — photograph beautifully. The motion adds emotion and cinematic energy to your photos.
4. Plan ahead for comfort.
Make sure everything fits well, feels good to move in, and won’t need constant adjusting. When you’re comfortable, it shows in every image.
5. Keep the small details in mind.
Empty your pockets, remove smart watches, and check for hair ties or phones bulging under clothing. Little things make a big difference in clean, timeless images.
6. Mind the shoes.
Choose footwear that makes sense for the location and overall vibe. Neutral, simple shoes photograph best — but if you love going barefoot or wearing boots, that’s great too.
7. Prep the night before.
Steam or iron your outfits in advance so you’re not rushing. Wrinkle-free clothes always elevate your final gallery.
8. Confidence is key.
At the end of the day, wear what makes you feel your best. The more comfortable and confident you feel, the more authentic and connected your photos will look.
