🌞 Daytime Session Outfit Tips
Daytime light is brighter and more direct. Aim for balance and soft contrast:
Colors:
• Cool tones: light blue, olive, chambray, sage, soft grey
• Avoid bright neon (they reflect too harshly)
• Subtle patterns like small florals or thin stripes work well
Fabrics & Style:
• Choose breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or chambray
• Layer lightly — a button-up over a tank, or a cardigan over a sundress
• Midi or knee-length dresses allow movement without being too revealing in strong light
Accessories:
• Neutral shoes, sneakers, espadrilles or bare feet on the beach
• Sunglasses for candid shots (optional)
• Bring a backup: a hat, hair tie, or a light cover-up in case of wind
Daytime session with John Hodura & Family
🌅 Sunset Session
Golden hour gives off warm, romantic tones. Let your outfit compliment that vibe:
Colors:
• Earthy neutrals: beige, ivory, soft browns, taupe
• Warm tones: rust, mustard, terracotta, sage, dusty rose
• Soft pastels: blush, powder blue, lavender
Fabrics & Style:
• Flowy dresses, maxi skirts, or linen shirts photograph beautifully in the breeze
• Lightweight knits, cotton, or gauze textures add softness
• Avoid shiny or stiff fabrics — they can reflect light harshly
Accessories:
• Minimal gold or bronze jewelry
• Neutral sandals, espadrilles, or bare feet on the beach
• Hats or flower crowns can work if it’s your style — just one statement piece
Sunset session with Sara & Family
For Families or Couples:
• Coordinate, try not to match — pick a color palette of 2–3 tones everyone can work within
• No big logos, writing, or distracting prints
• Think cohesive textures (denim, knit, cotton) across all outfits
• Neutrals like white and cream photograph beautifully — they reflect light, keep the focus on your connection, and bring a soft, airy feel that feels both clean and ethereal. Whether you’re on the beach or in a garden, these colors never fail.
