Here are some of our favorite tips for styling your session:

1. Think light & brightSoft colors always photograph beautifully outdoors. For this setup, we love whites, creams, light yellows, soft blues, and pale pinks or peach. These tones complement the natural setting and make the lemonade stand pop without overwhelming it.

2. Add a pop of yellowWhile you don’t need to wear head-to-toe lemon, a little touch of yellow can tie in the theme. Think a yellow hair bow, a lemon-print dress, or suspenders in mustard or pastel yellow. Small pops go a long way in tying everything together.

3. Keep it classic and timelessBecause the setup has a vintage feel, classic and simple clothing looks best. Sundresses, rompers, or overalls for kids are perfect. Rolled-up sleeves and khaki shorts work great for boys. Bare feet or sandals are welcome! Try to avoid logos or bold prints—they can distract from the charm of the setup and date the photos over time.

4. Accessorize thoughtfullyAccessories are a great way to personalize your look. A few fun ideas include sunhats or straw hats, hair bows, flower crowns, or even a lemon-patterned blanket to sit on. We’ll have props on hand too, so no pressure—just a little something extra can add a fun touch.

5. Coordinate, don’t matchFor sibling or family photos, choose outfits that coordinate in color and style rather than everyone wearing the same thing. This creates a polished but natural look that keeps the attention where it belongs—on your beautiful faces.
