What to Wear for Beach Portraits

• Light but stiff fabrics: Choose breathable fabrics like cotton, linen,  keep cool. Rayon or silk clings to your body (your legs and upper area if you know what I mean!) Its better to have stiff fabrics like cotton and linen.
• Bright Colors: Opt for vibrant colors that pop against the blue of the ocean or the sand, such as turquoise, coral, or sunny yellow and yes the traditional white.
• Soft Patterns: Light patterns like florals or subtle stripes can add visual interest without being overwhelming.
• Swimwear: If the shoot is casual, consider stylish swimwear or beach cover-ups that reflect your personality. Bring a fun hat!
• Layering: Light layers, such as a beach shawl or a light cardigan, can add texture and variety to your photos.
• Footwear: Opt for casual sandals, flip-flops, or go barefoot for a relaxed look.
• Accessories: Hats, sunglasses, and jewelry can enhance your look—just keep it minimal for a natural feel.
• Avoid Logos: Steer clear of clothing with large logos or text that might distract from your face and the backdrop.
• Coordinate but Don't Match: If taking pictures with a group, coordinate colors and styles without being overly matchy.
• Hair and Makeup: Consider a light, natural look that can withstand the beach's humidity and wind. Simple and effortless is key. Hair spray on windy days is a must!  We will shoot with you facing the wind so we aren't fighting hair in your face! NO LOTION ON PORTRAIT DAY! the sand loves to stick to lotion!
