The Best Seasons for Timeless Photography at Sims Lake Park
Each season transforms this location in beautiful ways.
Spring
Fresh blooms and soft greenery create a light, airy atmosphere.
Summer
Golden evenings and full foliage provide warm, glowing imagery.
Fall
Rich tones and seasonal textures offer depth and visual interest.
Winter
Neutral scenery delivers a clean, editorial-inspired look.
Sessions are scheduled during golden hour to ensure soft, flattering, and cinematic light.
Styling for a Sophisticated, Cohesive Look
Wardrobe plays a key role in creating polished, magazine-worthy portraits.
I recommend:
- Neutral tones: cream, ivory, taupe, sage, soft gray, blush
- Flowing dresses, tailored layers, and textured fabrics
- Coordinated palettes instead of exact matching
- Minimal, timeless accessories
Avoid bold logos, neon colors, and busy patterns to preserve a refined aesthetic.
All clients receive personalized styling guidance to ensure their session feels effortless and cohesive.
