What to wear for an extended family session on the beach
I love when families from the Central Valley come to the Central Coast for extended family sessions. The whole family was going to be here at the same time so it was the perfect opportunity to get everyone together for photos.
They really wanted to do a white and denim themed beach session. A white and denim themed beach session is fun when you allow everyone's personalities to still shine through. Rather than having everyone wear the same color of denim and the exact white shirt, let everyone mix it up. Varying shades of denim is best. It allows for everyone to wear a color they love and feel comfortable. The same is true for shirts and tops. Let everyone pick a shirt they love. A t-shirt, polo, sweater or long-sleeved blouse in shades of white, cream or ivory, will really help in mixing it up and add so much more variety to your photos.
Prefer a dress over jeans, no problem! You can also incorporate a cute white or chambray dress. Bonus points if the dress has pockets. One of the best ways to add personality is to accessorize! Add a statement necklace or earrings, a scarf, a vest and don't forget to have fun with shoes.
So if you're headed to the beach for vacation with your family and are wanting to do a beach photo session while you're all together, I hope this gives you some inspiration.
