Who's in the portrait?

Add everyone joining your session so we can personalize recommendations.

Pick your color palette

Choose the palette that speaks to you. We'll match outfit ideas to these tones.

Before we style your family...

A few things that make a big difference on the Kona coast.

Fabrics

Linen, cotton, and lightweight silk move beautifully in the ocean breeze and keep everyone cool. Avoid synthetics that trap heat or look shiny in the light.

Shoes

Plan to go barefoot on the sand. Bring slip-off sandals for walking to the beach. No need to overthink this one.

Accessories

Less is more. A delicate necklace, small earrings, a meaningful bracelet. Let the sunset and your family be the focus.

Outfit Changes

One beautiful outfit, worn confidently, always outperforms two outfits worn in a rush. Most beaches have no changing facilities.

Things to avoid

× Neon or very bright colors
× Large logos or graphic text
× All black or all white for everyone
× Very busy or small patterns
× Stiff or formal fabrics
× Athletic wear or sneakers
