As we shoot outdoors, you wil choose your favourite landscape for the shoot. 

This little Island has so many beautiful beaches, mountains and forests to explore. Or perhaps you would like to capture some memories at home.

Not sure where would be best? I can provide inspiration and locations that I know work really well.

Think about the type to look and feel you would love and match this to your background.

WEAR

The outfit you select can have a significant impact on the overall feel of your photos. It's all about capturing the true essence of your family while harmonizing with the outdoor setting. Here are some guidelines to help you make the right wardrobe choices:

1. Reflect Your Style:
Take a moment to think about your personal style and what makes your family unique. Your clothing should represent who you are.

2. Match the Location and Season:
Consider the location and season when choosing your outfits. Coordinating with the natural environment and the weather is key.

3. Stand Out from the Background:
If you're shooting in a lush outdoor setting, opt for colors that make you stand out. Warm earthy tones work beautifully.

4. Mix Patterns and Solids:
Incorporate a mix of solid colors and subtle patterns that complement each other. This creates a professionally styled look without overwhelming the photo.

5. Prioritise Comfort:
Comfort is everything. You should feel relaxed and authentic in your chosen attire. When you're comfortable, it shows in your photos.

6. Bring Multiple Outfits:
Consider bringing 2-3 outfits that make you feel amazing. We can experiment with different combinations on the day to capture your unique style.

7. Texture and Movement:
Choose fabrics that flow and move with you. Natural fibers like linen, cotton, or wool can add texture and create a cozy, natural look.


8. Colour Coordination:
Coordinate your family's outfits in terms of colour tones. Neutrals, earthy tones, and metallics often work well in outdoor environments. Explore complementary or analogous colours as inspiration. 

9. Be Mindful of Patterns:
Avoid large, bold patterns that can dominate the photograph. Smaller, more subtle patterns or prints can be a great choice if they complement the location.

10. Accessorize Thoughtfully:
Hats, sunglasses, socks, and jackets can add personality and style to your photos. Keep accessories fun and meaningful, but avoid distracting pieces.

11. Watches and Sentimental Items:
Watches are a bit tricky, especially in couple sessions where close-up shots are common. It's best to leave them at home unless they hold sentimental value.

The key is to wear what you feel great in!

Incorporating these tips will help you prepare for your family outdoor photo shoot while showcasing your authentic selves. Your photos will capture the essence of you and your loved ones in a beautiful, natural setting, making them unique and memorable.
