Family beach pictures can be a highlight from your holiday, yet what to wear for a beach photoshoot can be frustrating sometimes. So I hope these tips will help you along the way!
Soft pastels work really well with beach sessions, grey is always a good neutral colour choice, if you want to stay away from pink or blue.
Sunny yellow and blue tones warms the images doesn't it? This is such a lovely playful colour choice, and will fit right in with beach sessions.
Navy and Coral, also a perfect pair if you have a boy and girl. This gives a darker feel but oh so beautiful with the colours of the sunset.
Warm pink and soft peach, this is a stunning colour combination and works beautiful with both boys and girls. Mommy's floral dress is a perfect combination and breaks away from the solid colours, this is great for larger family groups.
Don't be afraid to go dark! This dark and moody combination is absolutely stunning on the beach. Combine solid colours with a "wild" pattern and you will definitely turn heads with this colour combination.
Baby pastel, both soft and playful, this colour combination will give your images a bright and airy feel. These colours work great on boys and girls. I give this colour palette a 10 out of 10!
Larger Groups? This is a perfect combination that will work wonderfully for both men and women. Mixing a lighter pink with a dark mustard is just beautiful and compliments the sunset so perfectly!
I hope these colour palettes will give you some inspiration to help you figure out what’s best for your family beach pictures. Loose clothing like cotton, tencel and viscose works lovely on the beach. The fibers are versatile, soft & pleasant to the skin.
Remember to bring the following with to your session:
1. Pack in extra clothing as you might get wet.
2. Towels.
3. Snacks and drinks for the little ones.
4. Bring any props you think will look stunning!
Always ask your photographer for advise if you are unsure, we love to help!
