Summer Style Spotlight: Dusty Blues, Beige, Browns & Khaki



There’s something about this color combo that just feels like summer—laid-back, timeless, and effortlessly beautiful. If you’re planning your family photo session this season, let’s talk about why these tones work so well together (and how to style them like a pro!).


✨ Why This Palette Works:

  • Dusty blues bring a soft, calming feel that photographs beautifully—especially in open fields or coastal locations.

  • Beige and warm browns add richness and warmth, grounding your palette in those sun-kissed summer tones.

  • Khaki is the unsung hero—casual but elevated, and perfect for dads or little boys.


Together, these tones feel neutral but not boring, earthy but still fresh—exactly what we want for creating that cohesive, effortless look in your gallery.



👗 Styling Tips:

  • Start with a patterned piece—like a floral dress with hints of blue and beige—and pull your color palette from that.

  • Mix textures! Think linen, gauze, soft knits, and cotton to add depth and dimension.

  • Pair flowy dresses for mom with structured button-downs or henleys for dad.

  • Add khaki shorts or pants for little ones, paired with neutral tops or a subtle stripe.

  • Accessorize with simple gold jewelry, stacked bracelets, or leather sandals to tie it all together.



🌾 Where It Shines:

This palette works beautifully in both beach and field locations. On the sand, the blues play off the water, while the beige and browns blend into the soft dunes. In grassy fields, these tones create that dreamy, sunlit magic that summer sessions are known for.
