START WITH NEUTRALS

CHOOSE SOFT, NATURAL COLORS.


Neutral tones photograph beautifully and allow the focus to stay on emotion and connection.

Great color choices include:

• cream

• beige

• tan

• brown

• rust

• sage green

• soft blue

• denim

• white


TIP: Think of colors you might see in nature.

COORDINATE, DON’T MATCH

Choose colors that complement each other instead of matching exactly.


For example:

Family palette example:

Mom → cream dress

Dad → light denim shirt

Child → tan outfit

Baby → soft neutral tone

This keeps the photos visually balanced while still feeling natural.


TIP: Limit your group to 2–3 main colors.

TEXTURE & MOVEMENT

Texture adds depth to photos.


Some beautiful textures include:

• linen

• denim

• knit sweaters

• suede

• cotton dresses

• leather boots

Flowy clothing also creates natural movement in photos.

Great options:

• maxi dresses

• skirts

• loose shirts

• cardigans



Movement helps photos feel cinematic and storytelling-driven.

WHAT TO AVOID


To keep your photos timeless, try to avoid:

• neon colors

• large logos

• busy patterns

• graphic prints

• overly bright colors


These can distract from the emotion and connection in your photos.

Comfort is key.

When you feel relaxed and natural, it shows in the photos.
