WHAT TO WEAR TO YOUR BEACH PHOTO SESSION | Oak Island NC Photographer

Here’s a little secret- I’m not really into telling people what to wear for their photo session. It feels less than authentic and more manufactured than I’d like for truly capturing my client’s personality. Believe me, I know first hand what it’s like to have your own style be a part of your identity, plus, who wants to look like everyone else in their photos? Now that being said, in my experience as a photographer, specifically a beach photographer, I’ve seen a lot of different color/style combinations, and I can tell you, some just work better together, in a way that is not distracting in the photos. The beach is light and bright (even when it’s cloudy) and neutral or light colored clothes truly match the setting best. Also, did you know that editing overly bright and flourescent colors can look oversaturated and unnatural in images? When clients book a session with me, I offer them a styling service at no cost that helps them choose clothing that works best for your family. You pick some color combos that you like and just like that, it lays out tons of different options to best suit your taste and to coordinate with the rest of the family. I’m also here for you to bounce ideas off of! So while I’m not here to tell you what to wear, I’m defintely here to help steer you in the right direction when you feel lost and confused about what to wear for your beach photo session1
