What to Wear for Fall Photos | Vancouver Family Photographer
My favourite local shop, Crush Clothing here in South Surrey, is my go-to recommendation for outdoor photography styling. Whether your session is in the grass at Campbell Valley Park or on the sand at White Rock or Crescent Beach, the great thing is you won’t be stuck with an outfit you’ll wear once for the photo session, as their pieces are timeless and versatile. Your photo session is the perfect time to treat yourself and invest in a few new staple pieces that could double as your photo session outfit!
