What to Wear for an Outdoor Shoot

Together, we bloom wherever life takes us.

Tropical climate makes for lush, vibrant backdrops—but it also means heat and humidity. Whether you're planning a solo session or a full family shoot, choosing the right outfit can help you stay cool, comfortable, and camera-ready. Here’s a quick guide on what to wear for your next outdoor photography session

1. Stay Cool with Breathable Fabrics & Light Colors

For any outdoor photography session, especially in tropical heat, opt for natural fabrics like linen, cotton, or bamboo. These materials are breathable and allow your skin to stay cool.
Stick to light, earthy tones—white, creams, soft blues, muted greens, or warm browns. These colors not only photograph beautifully but also reflect sunlight better than darker shades, helping you stay comfortable.

2. Outfit Ideas for Family Sessions in Nature

Joy in every little step you cheer on.

Think comfort meets movement—especially if kids are involved. Here are some easy go-to’s:

  • Mums & Dads: Maxi dresses, loose shirts, or flowy pants. Avoid tight jeans or heavy fabrics.

  • Kids: Rompers, breathable tees with shorts, or lightweight dresses. Make sure they can run, sit, or play freely.

  • Footwear: Neutral-toned sandals or slip-ons that blend well with natural settings (and are easy to remove if needed).

Keep patterns minimal—small prints or subtle textures help maintain that natural, minimalist storytelling.


3. What to Pack & How to Prep

Outdoor shoots mean embracing spontaneity—but a little prep goes a long way:

  • Bring a change of clothes in case of sweat or spills.

  • Pack wet wipes, a small towel, insect repellent, and water bottles.

Love anchors us—always, everywhere.

Final Tip: Keep it simple, be yourself, and trust your photographer’s eye for capturing raw, genuine moments. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s authenticity.
