Planning the perfect outfit for a photoshoot can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! Here are some easy tips for each season to help you pick colors, styles, and accessories that will complement both your personality and the Ohio landscape.
Spring: Fresh Colors and Light Layers
Spring in Ohio means blooming flowers, lush greenery, and often unpredictable weather. Light, pastel colors like blush pink, baby blue, or soft green can reflect the season’s energy. Pair these colors with flowy skirts, light sweaters, and casual denim for a timeless look. Layers are also helpful in case of a chilly breeze.
Accessories Tip: Consider a light scarf or floral hairpiece for a springtime touch!
Summer: Bold Colors and Comfortable Fabrics
With sunny days and warm weather, summer is ideal for outdoor shoots around Ohio’s beaches, parks, and gardens. Go for bright, bold colors that will pop, like teal, coral, or mustard yellow. Linen and cotton fabrics are perfect for staying cool and looking stylish.
Accessories Tip: Sun hats or light jewelry can add personality to summer photos without being too heavy or distracting.
Fall: Earth Tones and Cozy Layers
Fall in Ohio is known for its rich colors—think burnt orange, olive green, and warm browns. Sweaters, scarves, and boots look great against the backdrop of colorful leaves. Consider coordinating your outfits as a family or couple to create a cohesive look, blending neutrals with subtle pops of color.
Accessories Tip: Use scarves or blankets as props to add a cozy feel to your fall photoshoot.
Winter: Soft Textures and Muted Colors
Winter photos can be magical, especially with a bit of snow. Opt for muted colors like soft grey, navy blue, or burgundy, which add warmth and contrast nicely with a winter backdrop. Coats, gloves, and knitted hats are perfect accessories and help keep everyone comfortable outdoors.
Accessories Tip: If shooting indoors, softer textures like sweaters or velvet make your photos feel warm and inviting.
Bonus Tips for Every Season
- Coordinate, Don’t Match: Try to choose outfits that complement each other without being identical.
- Avoid Loud Patterns: Solids or subtle patterns photograph better, so avoid any outfits with logos or bold prints.
- Comfort is Key: Make sure everyone feels comfortable in what they’re wearing; it will show in the photos!
