What to Wear for Outdoor Family Photos
Photos in the Park
Sydney’s parks are full of soft greens, golden sun, and gentle shade. Outfits that echo the earth’s tones always look timeless.
Colour Palette: Olive, beige, cream, soft browns, muted blush, or warm mustard.
Textures: Linen, cotton, and knitted layers. They bring a natural depth to photos.
Tips:
Avoid bright green — it can clash with the background foliage.
Shoes matter: neutral flats, sandals, or leather boots work better than sneakers.
Bring a light throw or blanket — perfect for sitting shots or playful moments.
Beach sessions are all about simplicity and movement — where the light reflects off the water and the sand creates a dreamy glow.
Colour Palette: White, sand, soft blue, light grey, and pastel pink.
Textures: Flowy fabrics like cotton, chiffon, or linen work beautifully with the wind and ocean air.
Tips:
Barefoot always looks natural and connected.
Avoid dark colours or heavy clothing — they contrast too harshly with the beach tones.
Keep accessories minimal — think a simple dress, rolled-up sleeves, and hair flowing with the wind.
For example:
Mum in a white or soft pastel dress that catches the breeze, Dad in a linen shirt and khaki shorts, children barefoot in sand-toned outfits. It’s calm, organic, and full of life.
