A Beach vacation is a perfect opportunity to capture stunning family photos that you’ll cherish forever. The right outfit choices can enhance the beauty of your pictures, making them timeless and photos you will cherish for a lifetime. Whether you’re planning a professional photoshoot or snapping casual family moments, here’s a guide to the best outfit ideas for your beach family photos.
Why Outfit Choices Matter for Beach Photos
The beaches around Southern California are a gorgeous natural backdrop, but the wrong outfit choices can make photos look too busy or out of place. Sticking to light, breezy fabrics and a cohesive color scheme will help create a effortless look. Kiki picked out the cutest tan linen outfit for her little guy and a beautiful neutral palette including a soft floral dress for herself, and complementing tones on her husband, for her family photos in Newport Beach. I love babies in linen or knit outfits on the beach, as it gives the images such a “beachy” vibe.
Best Outfit Ideas for Beach Family Photos
1. Soft Neutrals for a Timeless Look
Neutrals like white, beige, lighter blues, and light gray complement the beach setting beautifully. Outfit ideas include:
- For the gals…Flowy, soft neutral sundresses or even linen pants or jeans for a more casual look.
- For the guys…Linen or cotton button-up shirts or even a plain “nicer” tee with neutral colored cotton or linen pants.
- Wear something comfortable that you can easily move around in.
- Soft, neutral rompers or lightweight dresses for kids
- A few favorite shops include JCrew, Rylee and Crew for the littles and Doen & Free People for mamas.
- Plan on going barefoot (Unless it happens to be winter)
