Puyallup’s rainy season might seem detrimental for family photos, but with a little planning, it can actually create a surprisingly beautiful backdrop for your session. The overcast skies bring soft, diffused lighting, the lush greenery looks fresh, and the occasional puddle-jumping moment adds spontaneous charm.
To make the most of your rainy season photo session, dressing in layers and stylishly is key.
Tips for picking outfits:
I. Embrace Layers for Style and Comfort
Rainy season weather in the Tacoma area can be dreadful, so layering is your best bet. Start with thinner base layers to stay warm, then add the pretty stuff like knit sweaters, warm scarves, or cozy jackets. This not only keeps everyone warm but also adds texture and style to your photos.
II. Choose Rain-Friendly Fabrics
Stick to fabrics that can withstand the occasional drizzle. Avoid sheer materials that soak through easily and instead opt for thicker or water-resistant options. For kids, fun raincoats or adorable rubber boots can be both stylish and practical, adding a fun spin to the photos.
III. Accessorize Thoughtfully
Accessories can make or break a rainy season look. Consider adding:
- Hats or Beanies: Keeps hair from blowing around and adds a stylish touch.
- Umbrellas: Clear umbrellas are perfect for photos in the rain without blocking faces.
- Boots: Stylish rain boots add a fun, practical look to the outfits
Plan for the Rain
Even if it’s not actively raining during your session, wet grounds and the occasional sprinkling are likely. Bring extra towels to sit on, a change of clothes for the kids, and maybe even a blanket to stay dry between shots.
