Beach Portrait Clothing Suggestions

Beach portraits on Alabama's Gulf coast enjoy a beautiful white sand foreground with (hopefully) golden sea oats around you and a blue sky with blue-green water in the background.  That setting is the prettiest when you are wearing light shades of clothing.  The very best is either all white or khaki and white.  Light pastels also work very well.  Anything dark jumps out at you and really spoils the image.  Darker blue jeans even distract, while the stone washed colors are ok. 

The more effort you put into your clothing selection now, the better you will like the finished portrait. 

We are not the "clothing police".  We will photograph you as you come but we want your portraits to be something special and you will have a lot to do with the success of that effort.

We also recommend that you do not put lotion or oils on before coming for your photography session.  As you sit down, they cause the sand to stick to you.
