Planning Hawaii Family Beach Photo Outfits

Families

May 16, 2024

When it comes to planning your family outfits for a photo session in Hawaii, starting with the right color palette is crucial. For Hawaii family beach photo outfits, you always want to avoid neons and bright oranges, which can cause odd skin tones because of how they reflect on your skin. Instead, always opt for light, soft colors and neutrals, as they help keep the focus on your family’s expressions and interactions without clashing with the stunning beach scenery. You want to compliment the beach colors, not compete for attention.

Hawaii Family Beach Photo Outfit Tips – Color Coordination

Select a Base Color: Begin by choosing one main color that complements the ocean blues and soft beige sand. We love soft blues, pinks, and greens.
Add Accent Colors: Incorporate two to three accent colors that harmonize well with your chosen base color.
Mix and Match: For a family of four, not everyone needs to wear the dominant color. Distribute the accent colors across different outfits to maintain visual balance.

Hawaii Family Beach Photo Outfit Inspiration

Mom’s Outfit: ALWAYS start with selecting an outfit for Mom. A flattering dress or skirt that cinches at the waist and flows outward creates a beautiful silhouette on camera.
Partner’s Outfit: Next, choose something for your partner. Men’s outfits can be more neutral. Think khaki or dark blue pants paired with a button-down shirt.
Kids’ Outfits: Avoid matching kids exactly. Instead, let their personalities shine through by varying their styles but sticking with the main color and accent colors to ensure coordination.

Final Touches – Outfit Planning

Accessorize Wisely: Nothing too shiny on the beach, please! Simple jewelry or no jewelry is just fine. Don’t overthink it.
Footwear: We’ll be barefoot on the beach so don’t worry about footwear! Throw on some comfy flip-flops to get to the beach, and be ready to kick off your shoes before we start.
Patterns and Graphics: Limit patterns to one family member and avoid graphic tees or anything with logos to keep the look timeless and focused.

Pre-Shoot Preparation

Outfit Trial: Please try on all outfits at least two weeks before the shoot to ensure everything fits well and looks coordinated.
Photograph Your Outfits: Lay out all the outfits and take a photograph to see how they look together. Bonus: send that picture over to our team for our honest feedback! We want you to look great too, so if we have suggestions for a change, we’ll let you know. And this way you’ll have time to make any necessary adjustments before the photo session.
