A quick checklist for your Tulum photoshoot. No pressure — just clear guidance on outfits, accessories, and feeling relaxed with a photographer in Tulum.
1. What to Wear
Choose pieces that feel comfortable, flow with the wind, and match Tulum's soft, natural environment.
Tulum Color Palette
Colors that match the sand, greenery, and ocean photograph best.
Neutrals
White, cream, beige, light tan.
Soft pastels
Blush, nude, peach, sage, dusty blue.
Earth tones
Terracotta, olive, soft brown.
Silhouettes that work
- • Long dresses that move with the wind
- • Soft cotton or linen sets
- • Wrap dresses or slip dresses
- • Bikini or one-piece with a kimono or sarong
Soft fabrics
Cotton, linen, silk, or chiffon. Avoid stiff or thick materials.
Swimwear as an outfit
Choose a bikini in soft neutral or pastel colors. Layer with a kimono or sarong for an elevated look.
Feet
We shoot mostly barefoot. Bring simple flat sandals for walking between spots.
Comfort first
If you can't walk, sit, or breathe comfortably in it — skip it.
2. Accessories
A hat, simple jewelry, or sunglasses add variety without changing your outfit.
- • Straw or wide-brim hat
- • Minimal gold jewelry — thin necklaces, small hoops
- • Cute bracelets or anklets
- • Sunglasses for a few shots
- • Soft scarf, kimono, or cover-up
3. How to Pose
You don't need to know how to pose — that's our job. Move slowly and stay relaxed.
Easy poses:
- • Touch or play softly with your hair
- • One hand on your hip, one relaxed
- • Look over your shoulder toward the ocean
- • Walk slowly toward or away from the camera
- • Hold your dress so it moves with the wind
- • Stand with one leg softly crossed in front
Even if it feels awkward in the moment, it often looks stunning in photos.
4. What to Bring
- • Water (Tulum is hot)
- • Sunglasses
- • Lip gloss or touch-up makeup
- • Hairbrush or small comb
- • Hat or scarf
- • Clean, simple manicure recommended
5. Final Tips
- • Arrive 5–10 minutes early
- • Sunrise and sunset are the most flattering times
- • Don't stress about posing — we guide you
- • Keep outfits simple. Less is more in Tulum
- • Barefoot or flat sandals always look more natural
Feeling nervous is normal. Just relax, breathe, and let us take care of everything.
