What to wear to your San diego photo session

It is important that your wardrobe is comfortable and reflects exactly who you are. Deciding on what to wear can be quite daunting! But here are a few tips to help make the process a little easier and most importantly, make you feel and look even more amazing than you already are! Here are some tips from my experience as a San Diego family photographer.


Don’t match. Coordinate.

I highly recommend coordinating, not matching. For color inspiration, start with one focal piece (i.e. what Mom is wearing), then coordinate the rest of the family from there with 3-4 colors. I strongly advise against wearing all white or black since a lot of detail tends to get lost.




Choose neutral clothing

If you are having trouble deciding on colors, you can never go wrong with neutrals! Think cream, grey, or tan.





Skip the logos and/or bold lettering

Please avoid any logos, wording, character prints, etc. as they can be distracting and draw the attention away from what’s most important…you! It is best to keep wardrobe simple and clean.






Layer and texture

Don’t be afraid to incorporate jackets, cardigans, hats, scarves, and necklaces to add more interesting visual elements and texture. Keep accessories simple and don’t over do it.






Be Yourself!

The most important thing is to be yourself! My hope is that your photo session captures your true self, your unique style and personalities. If you already have some cute pieces in your closet, use them! If you prefer to shop for some new outfits, I love Zara, Free People, Anthropologie, Baltic Born, Joyfolie, Lulus, Target, H&M and Amazon.
