What to Wear & How to Prepare

I'm excited to capture some memories for you!

What to Wear

Neutral & Earthy Tones

Warm Cream, Oatmeal, Soft Beige, Muted Terracotta, Dusty Sage, Warm Rust, or Slate Blue.

Choose 3-4 main colors for the family that harmonize. If you would like for me to create a specific color board using the colors that look best on you, I am more than happy to do that! I love making mood boards.

Avoid harsh neon or very bright colors or patterns.

Clothing Textures

For our beach session, clothes with movement photograph really well. Long maxi dress or flow skirt, linen pants or gauze shirt. Relaxed denim is also a great option.

You can layer your clothing textures like knits, linen, or a soft cotton cardigan. This can add depth to your photos without adding clutter.

Beach & Toddler Prep

Bring non messy, bite sized snacks (like marshmallows, fruit snacks, or crackers) that won't stain their fingers or faces.

And maybe pack a small towel and wet wipes for quick sand or nose touch ups.

Also feel free to bring along their favorite toy or blanket as they usually carry great long lasting memories. :)

Most importantly, don't worry about getting your babies to sit still and look at the camera. The best images usually come from the candid moments like playing in the sand, walking along the water, or just cuddling up with their people.
