The Location: A Short, Easy Hike

Before we dive into outfit ideas, it’s important to know that there will be a short, easy 10-minute hike to reach the exact spot where we’ll be taking your photos. While the hike isn’t strenuous, you’ll want to wear comfortable shoes for the walk. Once we arrive at the location, you can change into the shoes you’ve chosen for your photos.


What to Wear

When planning your outfit, think about the natural tones and textures of White Ridge. The goal is to complement the landscape while still allowing your personality to shine through.

  • Bold Colors: Since there will be the gorgeous white rocks in the background for some of your photos, make sure to wear a color that does not blend into the white.

  • Textures and Layers: Adding texture to your outfit, such as lace, knit, or linen, can create visual interest. Layering is also a great way to add depth to your look—think cardigans, shawls, or a stylish jacket that you can easily remove for different looks.

  • Flowy Dresses and Skirts: If you love the look of movement in photos, opt for a flowy dress or skirt. The gentle breeze at White Ridge will create beautiful, dynamic shots.

  • Comfortable Shoes: As mentioned, wear sturdy shoes for the hike and bring along your preferred shoes for the photos themselves. Whether it’s boots, sandals, or dress shoes, make sure they complement your outfit and are easy to change into once we reach the location.

  • Consider the Weather: While September is usually pleasant, it’s always a good idea to check the forecast and plan accordingly. A light jacket or shawl might be necessary if it’s a bit cool.


What to Bring

  • Water: Staying hydrated is key, especially after a short hike. Bring a bottle of water to keep refreshed throughout the session.

  • Accessories: Simple accessories like a hat, scarf, or statement jewelry can add a personal touch to your photos. Just make sure they don’t overpower your outfit or the natural surroundings.

  • Touch-Up Kit: Consider bringing along a small bag with essentials like a comb or brush, makeup for touch-ups, and a lint roller. This will help you feel confident and polished throughout the session.

  • Props: If you have any props that are meaningful to you or your family, feel free to bring them along. Items like a blanket, favorite book, or a small bouquet can add a personal touch to your photos.


Remember, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing. Your happiness will shine through in the photos, capturing those delicate moments of joy and laughter that we love to see.
