When it comes to styling your summer session, it's often the little details that bring everything together. Accessories add dimension, personality, and interest to your photos, and they're the perfect way to express your unique style without overpowering the images. Today, we're diving into my favorite accessories for summer: hats, chunky rings, and stacked bracelets!
Hats Off to Summer! 👒
If you’ve followed me for a bit, you know I adore accessorizing my clients with hats. Hats add instant style, effortless cool, and a fun vibe. Plus, they're incredibly versatile—wear them throughout your whole session or just for a few shots.
My favorite hats this summer include:
Affordable Camel Hats: Neutral, stylish, and match everything!
Creamy Neutral Hats: Perfect for soft, romantic looks.
Gigi Pip Hats: Timeless styles in earthy tones (tan and beige), elevating any outfit.
Ribbon & Fun Detail Hats: Adding playful charm and texture to your look.
Not sure you're a "hat person"? Trust me—give it a try! A good hat can be just the thing to elevate your summer session style.
Make a Statement with Chunky Rings 💍
I love a chunky ring moment! Rings are fantastic accessories for capturing detail shots—holding your child's hand, embracing your loved ones, or simply brushing hair from your face. My favorites are statement-making yet subtle enough to blend beautifully with your styling.
Look for:
Chunky Turquoise Rings: A pop of color that complements neutrals beautifully.
Neutral Gemstones: Timeless and chic, perfect for close-up images.
Dual Gemstone & Unique Shapes: Rings that add personality and interest without overpowering the photo.
These small touches make a big impact, especially when capturing those sweet, intimate moments.

Stacked Bracelets for Detail Shots 🌟
Stacked bracelets are another go-to. They add depth, texture, and subtle pops of color. They're especially stunning when photographed hugging your kiddos or holding your partner's hand.
This summer, I'm loving:
Wrap Bracelets: Comfortable, stylish, and easy to wear.
Beaded Beauty Bracelets: Effortless and earthy, pairing perfectly with boho-inspired dresses.
Stacked Sets: Coordinated stacks that add dimension instantly—just slip them on, and you're good to go!
Why Accessorize? 📸
Accessories are truly magical—they allow your unique personality to shine, add visual interest and dimension to photos, and elevate your entire look with minimal effort. Trust me, even small details like hats, rings, and bracelets make your images more dynamic and memorable.
