So elevated basics are your style (mine too)
When it comes to planning your session, your outfit sets the tone. I love helping my clients feel confident, comfortable, and stylish without feeling too staged. Whether you’re expecting or just celebrating a moment in your life, your wardrobe can elevate the session from ordinary to editorial. I’m drawn to pieces that are chic, wearable, and photograph beautifully.
My personal favourite brands for this category;
- Dissh
- Matteau
So where do I start?
Structured Pieces for a Modern Edge
Tailored blazers, interesting sleeves or statement tops bring a sleek, fashion forward element to your session. These pieces are perfect for the effortless but intentional look. A structured outfit can balance soft, flowing fabrics for a chic contrast.
Layering Textures for Dimension
Adding textures like knitwear, linen, silk, or delicate accessories creates depth in your photos without being distracting. A layered look feels intentional and styled, but still comfortable enough to move, laugh, and interact naturally during your session.
Mixing Colours & Coordinated Tones
Choosing complementary shades rather than exact matches helps create a cohesive, visually pleasing palette. Soft neutrals, or earth tones work beautifully together and allow your personality and your session to shine without distraction.
Statement Accessories & Details
Small touches like a hat, belt, or delicate jewellery can transform a simple outfit into something editorial. Accessories add personality, complete your look, and draw the eye to subtle details that make your photos uniquely yours.
Heres how my clients do it -
Nothing excites me for than clients who ask for outfit advice and ideas. That and when my client shows up and I can tell that their outfit has been curated just for their session.
So if you have a shoot coming up, experiment, play around and allow your clothes to set the tone of your photos. Let me do the rest !
