before you arrive
Includes all listed features
Coordinate your outfits with complementary colors and avoid busy patterns or large logos for a timeless look. Most importantly, come ready to relax, smile, and enjoy the experience!
what to wear
tips to make your wardrobe pop
Warm, earthy tones photograph beautifully at City Park. Think rust, olive, mustard, camel, cream, burgundy, deep brown, and muted blue. Choose a coordinated color palette rather than matching everyone exactly for a more natural, polished look.
fall pop
Fall is the perfect time to layer in textures. Knits, corduroy, denim, suede, linen, and soft flowing fabrics add depth and movement to your photos without feeling overly busy.
textures shine
Hats, boots, scarves, simple jewelry, and light layers can complete your look and add personality. Keep accessories intentional and comfortable so they enhance your outfit without becoming distracting.
