What to wear for an outdoor photoshoot?

What should I wear for an outdoor photoshoot?

The colours you choose to wear will vary for each season. For example during a spring or summer shoot, soft neutral colours work well. For an autumn or winter shoot – bold colours work well.

Dress for your environment


Wear clothes you would normally for that environment and from there make your outfits a little smarter than usual.


Choose a colour scheme for your family photos and coordinate with each other, but try not to match.

Choose colours which bring out your eye colour


Blue eyes – blues, yellow and pinks.

Green eyes – greens, yellows and browns.

Brown eyes – red, browns, greens.


Choose clothes which are a good fit, particularly with children.


Layering and using different textures can add a lot of dimension and interest to your photos, i.e cardigans and jackets.


Accessories can work well. I.e hats, scarves, jewellery and hair bands.


 What to avoid wearing;


Try to avoid black, neon and very bright colours.


Clothing with pictures/slogans/logos.



Overall, try to choose clothes you feel body confident in. If you feel good in what you're wearing, this will shine through for the camera and your images.


I look forward to 'capturing the moments' for you!
