Wondering what colors to wear for your photo session? Here it is! It took a little while to assemble it, but here are my recommended color palettes for your photo sessions. These color palettes are tailored to my style of photography but should work in general for most people. The palettes include:
Jewel Tone
Earth Tone
Pastel Skies
Desert Rose
Sea Shore
Soft Florals
Bright Bolds
Muted Bolds
Bright Pastels
Spring Palette
Cool Muted Spring
Bright Summer
Muted Summer
Bright Fall
Muted Fall
Cool Winter
Deep Christmas
Christmas
Colored Neutrals
True Neutrals
Each of these palettes is perfect for the camera. Palettes like jewel and earth tones work for whichever season. Then, of course, I added season-specific palettes like bright summer, Christmas, and muted fall. Some of the most popular among my clients are Jewel Tone, Earth Tone, and Muted Bolds.
Pro tip: pick one palette and use that to dress you and your partner, or pick one palette and a neutral palette (true or colored). You can never go wrong mixing neutrals and some color. Remember, the key is to coordinate looks, not match. If your partner is wearing mostly blues and greens, wear neutrals with some color accents in either blue, green, or complementary colors to those shades.

[…] If you’d like to do a bold color, keep it small and simple, so it is more complimentary. For example, I had a bride with pink hair; the rest of her look was neutral-toned so that she got the pop she wanted while not taking away from the moment captured. Some other ideas include a pop of color as a layer underneath a jacket or cardigan. If you need some help picking palettes more visually, check out this blog post. […]
