What to wear for your photo session (in the Puerto Rico heat)
Colors, fabrics, outfit changes and the details that make a difference in your photos, with the island weather in mind.
It is the question we get most before a session. The good news: you do not need new clothes. You need clothes that feel like you, fit well and work with the location.
Colors
- Solid colors look cleaner than large prints; small prints or textures (linen, knits) add interest without stealing attention.
- Your brand colors, if it is a business session.
- In Old San Juan, with so many colorful walls, neutral tones or a color that contrasts with the wall work well.
- At the beach: whites, creams, earth tones or soft colors.
- Avoid big logos and lettering that are not yours.
Fabrics and weather
It is hot and humid here most of the year. Choose breathable fabrics (cotton, linen) and clothes that do not cling or wrinkle easily. If you want to wear something more formal, bring it and change on site.
Families and couples
You do not all need to match. Pick a palette of 3 or 4 colors that go together and share it out. Let only one person wear a print, and everyone else solid colors.
Outfit changes
Depending on your package, bring 2 or 3 outfits: one more formal, one casual and one that is "totally you". Bring them on hangers so they do not wrinkle.
The details
- Clean, groomed nails: they show up in many photos, especially hand and product shots.
- Simple accessories that represent you.
- Comfortable shoes to get there, and the "photo" shoes in a bag.
- Powder or blotting paper for shine: in the heat, it helps a lot.
- If you want professional makeup, we offer a makeup artist as an add-on.
If you are unsure, send us photos of your options on WhatsApp before the session and we will help you choose.
