for the location
Let the location guide your palette. Soft neutrals, muted earth tones, and natural textures will always feel at home against the colors of the ocean, the warmth of the sand, or the quiet greens of the landscape. When your clothing echoes the environment, the result feels organic and seamless.
don't match
A portrait comes alive through variation within harmony. Instead of identical colors, choose tones that complement one another — cream with sage, clay with soft blue, sand with olive. This layering of tones creates depth and a sense of ease, avoiding anything that feels overly uniform.
through texture and detail
Bold patterns or competing prints tend to distract. Instead, consider subtle textures and refined layers that add richness without overwhelming. Linen, knits, or the quiet interest of a soft print under a cardigan or jacket can introduce dimension in a way that feels thoughtful and natural.
that moves with you
Select clothing that allows you to feel at ease. Flowing fabrics — a dress that catches the wind, a skirt that drapes softly — bring movement and life into your images. For men, relaxed tailoring in breathable fabrics offers polish without stiffness. For children, simplicity is best: soft, comfortable pieces that allow them to run, play, and simply be themselves.
most
Above all, choose pieces that feel like you — elevated, comfortable, and intentional. When you feel at ease in what you’re wearing, the connection between you becomes the most striking element of your photographs.
Your portraits should feel like you — refined, effortless, and deeply connected. What you wear becomes an extension of the story we’re telling together. Clothing that harmonizes with the setting, enhances movement, and creates cohesion will elevate your photographs and allow the emotion to take center stage.
