Outfit Guide
Wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. When you feel like yourself, it always shows in your photos.
Neutral and earthy tones photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your connection. Adding layers, texture, or flow—like a cardigan, jacket, dress, or scarf—creates movement and adds that cinematic touch.

Top outfit ideas to give inspiration
Casual & Comfortable
The most meaningful photos begin with feeling like yourself. Choose outfits you can move, laugh, and be fully present in. Soft fabrics, relaxed fits, and neutral tones create an effortless look that feels authentic and timeless.
Elegant & Editoral
If you're drawn to the refined, editorial side of my portfolio, think elevated without feeling overdone. Structured silhouettes, timeless dresses, tailored pieces, and subtle textures create a polished look while still allowing your personality to shine.
Cinematic
Movement transforms a beautiful photo into a memorable one. Flowing dresses, layered outfits, long coats, or fabrics that catch the breeze add depth and emotion. Combined with natural light, these details create the cinematic, storytelling style that defines my work.

Choosing Your Colors
Your location plays an important role in how your outfits photograph. These palettes include soft neutrals, muted colors, and richer tones selected to complement each setting while keeping your images timeless, polished, and cohesive.
Greenery
Gardens · Parks · Wooded LocationsCream · Dusty Peach · Terracotta · Sage · Olive · Chocolate
Warm earth tones, muted florals, and soft neutrals complement lush surroundings without disappearing into the background. Terracotta, peach, cream, brown, and muted green photograph beautifully against trees, gardens, and natural foliage. Avoid neon green or very bright colors that may compete with the scenery.
Indoor
Statehouses · Homes · Museums · HotelsIvory · Camel · Rust · Burgundy · Navy · Black
Indoor locations such as statehouses, museums, historic buildings, elegant homes, hotels, and modern interiors work beautifully with refined neutrals and richer statement colors. Consider the existing walls, furniture, architecture, and lighting when selecting outfits. Ivory, camel, burgundy, navy, rust, and black create a polished look against marble, wood, stone, and neutral interiors.
Studio
Minimal · Editorial · Controlled LightingSoft White · Stone · Taupe · Burgundy · Slate · Black
Studio sessions allow for both clean neutrals and bold statement colors. Monochromatic outfits, tailored pieces, simple silhouettes, and rich shades such as burgundy, slate, and black create a polished editorial feel. Avoid overly busy patterns so the focus remains on expression and connection.
Outdoor
Fields · Downtown · Open LandscapesOatmeal · Mustard · Burnt Orange · Sage · Dusty Blue · Auburn
Outdoor locations photograph beautifully with warm seasonal colors, dusty blues, muted greens, and rich earth tones. These shades add variety while still feeling natural and timeless. Choose colors that gently stand out from the landscape without overpowering the setting.
Beach
Sand · Water · Coastal SettingsSoft White · Sand · Caramel · Seafoam · Coastal Blue · Coral
Soft coastal shades, sandy neutrals, muted blues, and subtle coral tones photograph beautifully near the water. Flowing fabrics, linen, and lightweight textures add natural movement. Avoid neon shades and extremely bright white clothing in harsh midday light.
