Getting ready for your photoshoot — whether it’s a wedding, engagement, or family session in Jamaica — is all about picking outfits that scream you. I’m here to help you nail that vibe while making sure your photos look cohesive, vibrant, and timeless. Let’s break it down by style, color, and feel, so you can show up ready to shine in front of the lens!

Pop of Colour: Brighten Up Your Session

Want to make your photos burst with energy? Toss in some bold, bright colors! Think sunny yellows, fiery reds, or electric blues — they’ll stand out beautifully against Jamaica’s beaches and greenery. A vibrant scarf, a statement dress, or even funky shoes can add that playful punch without overwhelming the shot.

Muted Colours: Earthy Tones for a Soft Look

If you’re after something more grounded, go for muted, earthy tones like sage green, terracotta, or soft beige. These colors blend seamlessly with natural backdrops like Doctor’s Cave Beach, giving your photos a calm, cohesive feel. They’re perfect for a relaxed, timeless vibe that lets your connection take center stage.

Elegant Flowy Dresses: Instant Vacation Magic

Nothing says “tropical getaway” like a flowy dress catching the ocean breeze! Opt for lightweight fabrics in dreamy whites, pastels, or even a bold print — they’ll give your photos that effortless, romantic vacation glow. Perfect for twirling on the beach at Ocean Coral Springs during your maternity shoot.

Fun Jumpsuits & Rompers: Playful and Casual

For a carefree, whimsical look, jumpsuits or rompers are your best friend. They’re comfy, stylish, and bring a touch of retro fun to your session. Think bright florals or solid colors with a funky accessory — ideal for a laid-back couple or family shoot along Mahee Bay.

Professional Blazers & Blouses: Sharp Headshots

Need a few polished shots? A tailored blazer or crisp blouse in a neutral tone (like navy or cream) keeps things sleek and professional. Pair it with subtle accessories to keep the focus on you. Great for milestone moments or if you’re sneaking in a few headshots during your wedding festivities.

Knit Sweaters & Cozy Looks: Fall Vibes (or Anytime!)

Even in Jamaica, cozy can work for a styled shoot! A chunky knit sweater or scarf in warm tones like mustard or rust adds texture and warmth to your photos. These are fab for cooler evenings or if you’re dreaming of a fall-inspired look against a tropical backdrop.

Low-Key & Casual: Keep It Comfy

Sometimes, simple is best. Stick to your go-to faves — think soft tees, jeans, or a casual sundress. The goal is to feel like yourself, so you’re relaxed and ready to laugh and love in front of the camera. This works great for candid, documentary-style shots I’m all about.

Tropical & Beachy: Made for Jamaica

Shooting in Montego Bay calls for tropical flair! Lean into ocean blues, coral pinks, or leafy greens, and pick breezy fabrics like linen or cotton. A sarong, straw hat, or shell jewelry can tie it all together, making your photos feel like a love letter to the island.

Classic & Timeless: Always in Style

Some looks never fade — a little black dress, a crisp white shirt, or a tailored suit can be formal or pared-down but always chic. These are perfect for milestone moments in iconic spots like Tropical Bliss Beach, where the focus stays on your love, not the trends.

Adventurous & Cultural: Go Bold

Want a shoot that’s one for the books? Embrace Jamaica’s vibrant culture with a daring outfit — think a colorful headwrap, a reggae-inspired print, or a bold accessory that tells a story. This is your chance to make a statement and create unforgettable memories.

Outfits by Color: Coordinate, Don’t Match!

Here’s a wild tip — you can match, but don’t match-match.  What I mean is, coordinating a group’s outfits with a color scheme is awesome, but skip the identical looks (we’ve all seen those ‘90s denim-and-white-shirt family photos, and… yeah, let’s not). Get creative! Maybe one person rocks a tasteful pattern while another wears a solid that complements it. Or pick a palette like coral and teal, and let everyone mix different shades. Your colors should vibe with the style you’re going for — bright and tropical, soft and muted, or bold and cultural.
