YOU'VE BOOKED YOUR SUNRISE PORTRAIT SESSION, NOW WHAT?
A common question I'm asked once a client has booked their photo session is "What should we wear"? To help answer this question, I've created 3 neutral family outfit options that will go perfectly in the beautiful sunrise at the beach. I always prefer a neutral color palette for a sunrise session. The organic colors in this palette lend to a more relaxed look that doesn't detract from the subjects. Check out a few options below, and I hope this helps to take a bit of the stress out of planning so that you can actually enjoy spending time with your family during your photo session instead!
WHAT COLORS PHOTOGRAPH BEST?
This is another question I'm asked often and honestly, I love neutrals! As you can see below, I've also included a few colors in the mix but it's very subtle. For the coast, we're tempted to go with blues or deep navy's, and lighter blue is OK, but I always tend to tell clients to stay away from going too dark with their beach colors. Especially at sunrise. Sunrise is meant for backlit sun, texture, and nice, clean golden light - it is the Golden Hour after all! So you'll want to keep it simple and classic.
WHAT TO WEAR FOR YOUR SUNRISE FAMILY PHOTOS AT THE BEACH
Think layered textures, crochet, linens, breathable cottons. Gauzy and flowy. Sunrise is actually a great time even to break out a bathing suit and an open knit cover up! But if you're wanting a more traditional look, a timeless pair of white skinny jeans and a tank with a vintage kimono is another of my go-to's. I've compiled a few options for the family below. These are all in-the-now, ready-to-purchase looks so enjoy shopping a bit and cross this one off your list!
