Erie Location, Outfit Inspiration
1. Presque Isle Beach:
The Look: Effortless beach babe/dude. Think flowy dresses or linen shirts, distressed denim shorts, and bare feet. Sun-kissed skin is your best accessory.
Color Palette: Sandy neutrals, ocean blues, sunset oranges and pinks.
The Shot: Golden hour portraits with the lighthouse in the background.
2. Downtown Erie:
The Look: Edgy urban vibes. Leather jackets, graphic tees, ripped jeans, statement sneakers. Don't be afraid to layer for added dimension.
Color Palette: Bold colors that pop against the city backdrop (think emerald green, ruby red), black, white, and denim.
The Shot: Graffiti walls, brick buildings, and industrial textures provide the perfect urban canvas.
3. Local Parks (Asbury Woods, Frontier Park, etc.):
The Look: Boho chic with a touch of nature. Floral prints, flowy maxi dresses, fringe vests, wide-brim hats. Bring a cozy blanket for some casual shots.
Color Palette: Earthy greens, browns, muted yellows, pops of jewel tones like amethyst or sapphire.
The Shot: Sun-dappled trails, blooming wildflowers, and majestic trees create a magical setting.
4. Your Choice of Location:
The Look: This is your time to shine! Choose a location that's meaningful to you (favorite coffee shop, sports field, etc.) and dress in an outfit that reflects the vibe of the place.
Color Palette: Whatever feels right to you and complements the chosen location.
