What to wear to your photoshoot
We want your portraits to feel timeless, natural, and relaxed. The best outfits are simple, comfortable, and don’t distract from your face or your connection with the people you’re with.
Use this guide to choose what to wear so your photos look their best.
Overall Style
Our portrait style is:
Clean
Timeless
Natural
Soft
Minimal
We recommend outfits that feel like “your best self” — polished but still true to you.
Colors That Photograph Best
Neutral and pastel tones generally look the most flattering in photos and keep the focus on you, not your clothes.
Best choices
Soft neutrals: beige, cream, ivory, taupe, light grey, tan
Pastels: blush pink, soft blue, sage green, dusty lavender
Classics: white or off‑white is always a safe option
Use with caution
Very bright or neon colors (they can reflect color onto your skin and be distracting)
Head‑to‑toe solid black (however, if you’re going for artsy, this can look cool!)
If you’re unsure, choosing light neutrals or pastels is almost always a great option.
Patterns, Textures, Logos, and Wearables
Great options
Solid colors
Subtle textures like linen, light denim, ribbed tees
Avoid
Bold stripes, busy prints, checkerboard patterns, or tiny high‑contrast patterns
Large logos, cartoon characters, and heavy graphics or text on clothing
Smart watches, fitness trackers, and other visible wearable tech
We kindly ask that you remove smart watches and fitness bands before your session so they don’t distract in close‑up portraits.
A good rule of thumb: if you can see the pattern or logo clearly from across the room, it’s probably too bold for your session.
