• Think flowy dresses, linen sets, soft makeup, and light textures.
• Prioritize comfort—especially shoes if we’ll be walking a lot!
When to Schedule Your Session:
• Golden Hour: One hour after sunrise or before sunset gives the softest, most flattering light.
• Weekdays: Avoid crowds at popular places like Vizcaya or South Pointe.
• Winter & Spring: Cooler, less humid days with dreamy skies.
