what to wear

 

something comfortable, easy to move in, feels like "you", that you feel cute in.


I'm a big fan of warm neutrals, muted tones, and light colours that make you stand out from the background without making you look out of place. white/cream/beige always photograph beautifully, especially if you're looking for a soft, timeless vibe in your photos.


don't be afraid of a pop of colour or a pattern in one of your outfits.


loose-fitting or flowy clothing adds movement to your photos, lean into the oversized look, or at the very least, make sure what you wear doesn't feel too tight or restrictive. plan to move during your session.


feel free to wear a bathing suit if you'd like to lean into the beachy summer vibe, it's totally up to you (I will have some beach floats and beach balls available to play with and use as props if that's your vibe).


ditch the shoes; going barefoot on the beach is always cute and will save you from cleaning sand out of your shoes later.

 

what not to wear

 

  • bright, neon colours that reflect onto the skin and create unflattering tones


  • too many patterns (stick to one simple pattern if any at all)


  • tight, restrictive clothing


  • logos or text larger than the size of a quarter

 

outfit colour palette inspiration

 

 

parking/housekeeping notes

 

  • please be ready to begin your shoot at your scheduled start time and clear the area by the end of your time slot to allow for the next session to begin on time (it's a bit of a walk from the parking area, so try to arrive 5-10 minutes early)


  • my partner, Jess, will be in the parking area (furthest left side of Beach 1) with our 6 month old, he'll help you find me if you're unsure where to go


  • bring a change of clothes in case your outfit gets wet or sandy


  • washrooms/change rooms are available at Presqu'ile if needed
