What to Wear for Your Photography Session

A Style Guide for Clients

Coordinate, Don’t Match


Choose colors and styles that complement each other rather than identical outfits. Think coordinated tones like:

- Soft blues, whites, tans

- Earthy greens, mustard, cream

- Burgundy, navy, gray

Go for Solids & Subtle Patterns


Avoid logos, neon, or bold prints. Stick to solid colors or gentle patterns like thin stripes or small florals. These let your faces and emotions shine.

Dress for the Setting & Season


Make sure your outfit fits the environment:

- Spring/Summer: Light fabrics, pastels, sandals or bare feet

- Fall: Warm tones, layered knits, boots

- Winter: Neutrals, cozy scarves, textured coats

Add Layers & Texture


Mix layers and fabrics—think denim jackets, cozy knits, lace, or leather. These photograph beautifully and add dimension.

Choose What Makes You Feel Great


Wear something comfortable and flattering. When you feel good, it shows in your photos!

Mind Your Footwear


Your shoes might appear in the photos! Choose clean, neutral shoes or go barefoot for a natural feel (if setting-appropriate).

Skip the Fast Fashion Trends


Timeless beats trendy. Classic styles keep your photos looking fresh for years to come.
