Well I have tons of ideas for this week for beach portraits. There are really tons of things that look great at the beach. One thing to keep in mind is that the colors at the beach are fairly subdued (especially in N. Cal where we often have fog) so I usually suggest to people to wear something colorful (otherwise you run the risk of having grey ocean, grey sky, brown sand and . . . colorless clothes).
When planning portraits at the beach think of what you have that might be “out of the box” so to speak — (like the purple frilly dress from Chasing Fireflies). That’s not something you would usually wear to the beach, but the contrast between the frilly dress and the outdoorsy look of the beach looks awesome. Right now many clothing stores are sending out catalogs with pictures done at the beach. Take note of what the models are wearing and how it looks in the photograph.
