What to Wear

Neutral tones — cream, tan, olive, sage, dusty blue, warm white — photograph beautifully in Utah's natural environments. Earth tones complement canyon landscapes and open meadows.

Avoid very bright primary colors (red, yellow, royal blue) unless they reflect your personal style — they tend to pull attention away from faces.

If you're shooting as a couple or group, coordinate tones rather than matching exactly. Complementary colors in the same warmth family feel cohesive without looking costume-like.

Layers give us options. A jacket you can take off, a scarf you can remove — those become small wardrobe changes that add variety to your gallery without changing locations.

In Utah, temperatures shift quickly, especially at dawn and dusk. A light jacket also protects you from unexpected wind and keeps you comfortable throughout the session.

Fine stripes, small prints, and complex patterns can create visual noise in photographs — your eye gets drawn to the pattern instead of the person.

Solid colors and simple textures (linen, knit, denim) read cleanly and age well.

The best outfit is one you feel comfortable and confident in. If what you normally wear to a date or a dinner is a worn-in flannel and jeans — wear that. The authenticity reads.

Avoid wearing something new the first time at your session. You want to feel relaxed, not aware of every seam.

Closed-toe shoes if we're hiking to a location. Comfortable shoes in general — you'll be moving.

Bring an extra layer you can remove. Bring any accessories that feel meaningful.
