Living on a tropical island means beautiful weather year round (for the most part). Living here in Okinawa, I have been fortunate to experience this beautiful weather, which means the ability to shoot custom sessions year round. I have a few fashion choices that are simply stunning, but also functional for our little piece of paradise! It is important when choosing clothes for a session that your are comfortable in the clothes and they fit well. Whether you are puzzled about your clothing options for your family or maternity session, there are yummy colors and styles that everyone will love!
I hope you all enjoy,

Cascade is optimistic and playful. Soft sand tones as accents allow this special blue to shine. Cascade is another wonderful choice for those who aren’t quite sure what color would look best; it won’t let you down!
Margarita is a soft sage green that reminds us Spring is somewhere around the corner, but not quite here yet! This hue is innocent and graceful, and can be worn as an accent color or as the main piece. Leather shoes and accessories look fantastic along side this tone.
This special blue-grey is introverted and complementary to just about anyone luck enough to be wearing it! Whites and greys are ideal companions to create a complete look. Lovely to look at on camera and versatile for indoors, outdoors, urban, or out in nature. Provincial Blue is a great, low-risk choice for anyone putting together their outfit.
What a deliciously exciting color to spice up your photographs! Done properly, this oh-so-Autumn tone could turn your photographs into something your friends will envy for years to come. Try using this spicy hue as an accent color, or if it’s a main piece like a top or jacket, make sure the rest of what your are wearing is dark and subtle. The yellow-orange will pop on camera and look amazing!
Rich rhubarb red is ready for Fall or Winter – a deep, complex tone that commands attention. This festive color is so powerful even a small accent of it, like a pair of shoes or wool scarf, is enough to add vibrance to the dullest of outfits and backgrounds. Don’t overdo it though, too much can also overpower your skin tones.
Warm, comfortable, subtle – sheepskin evokes the best part of cooler weather. Incorporating sand tones into your wardrobe adds a calming, natural touch. Sheepskin accents like boots and slippers provide wonderful texture to your images and keep your toes toasty!
Oh Teal! By far my favorite color in this post! Both bright and melancholy, energetic, yet relaxed. This popular color looks fabulous in front of the lens, especially set against cloudy skies. It also looks fabulous on just about everybody, making it a wonderful choice as the star of your outfit.
Blushing shades of dusty pink and mauve are bright and cheerful against dull grey skies of the cooler season. Leather footwear and chocolate accents ground the brighter pinks while adding natural textures to the overall look. A lovely set of outfits perfect in or out under the umbrella!
