Choosing an outfit for a spring photo session should embrace the season’s fresh, vibrant vibe. As temperatures (sometimes) warm and flowers bloom, light fabrics and soft colors are ideal. Think flowy dresses, light blouses, or even a pretty jacket for cooler spring days. The key is to pick something that makes you feel comfortable and confident while complementing the natural beauty of the season.
Tips
consider THE LOCATION
If your photo session will be held in a park, go easy on shades of green. If you'll be on a beach, think about coastal colors and influences. Wearing solids that contrast with and complement your backdrop, rather than blend in, will make for successful photos.
CHOOSE A SPRING COLOR PALETTE
When choosing colors for spring outfits, opt for soft shades, fresh tones, and light neutrals that complement the season's bright, rejuvenating vibe. I've put together ideas below (and on Pinterest). You can find links to some of these pieces on this curated list. For sessions with multiple people, it helps to choose your favorite piece first. If you loooove that denim dress, use it as your starting point and find the rest of your family's outfits using it as inspiration. For extended family sessions, you can be a bit more vague. Consider giving everyone more general direction like "wear blue."
think about the temperature
Just like it would look out-of-place to wear shorts at a winter session, don't wear clothing that is overly heavy or inappropriate to a spring session.
