What are perfect beach photoshoot outfits?

I found a cute girl in Santa Fae yesterday, and she is a model. I am looking for some perfect beach outfit ideas to surprise her to make our first photoshoot memorable.
 
For a classic look, think light, flowy fabrics that move in the breeze. Whites, pastels, and soft blues complement the ocean's natural colors beautifully. If you're after a more tropical vibe, consider bold prints or bright, vibrant colors.
 
For a dreamy beach shoot, wear flowy maxi dresses in soft hues like white, beige, or sky blue. Lightweight linen shirts and rolled-up pants suit men well. Keep the vibe simple and elegant—barefoot in the sand with minimal accessories to let the natural backdrop and soft lighting steal the show.
 
Capture a relaxed, boho look with white crochet tops, wide-leg pants, or wrap skirts. Earth tones and pastels blend perfectly with the beach. Men can opt for loose linen shirts and straw hats. Flowy fabrics and natural textures add movement and style while staying comfortable under the sun and breeze.
 
Choose a light, cohesive color palette like cream, navy, and blush for group or family beach photos. Avoid bold prints—stick to solid colors or gentle stripes. Parents in linen or cotton, kids in soft sundresses or shorts, and everyone barefoot. This creates a timeless, casual, and unified look without appearing too staged.
 
Show off beach-ready fashion with stylish swimsuits paired with cover-ups—like sheer robes, sarongs, or kimonos. Choose light fabrics that catch the wind for added drama. Men can go shirtless with relaxed beach pants or board shorts. Add beachy accessories like sunglasses or shell jewelry to elevate the tropical vibe.
 
Go for a clean, natural look with neutral-tone outfits—like a white button-up and khaki shorts for men, or a simple sundress for women. Keep footwear minimal or go barefoot. This style highlights genuine moments and pairs well with soft ocean colors and golden-hour lighting, making your photos feel warm and timeless.
 
If you want the shoot to feel timeless yet effortless, go for neutral tones and breezy fabrics that move with the wind. A soft linen shirt paired with relaxed trousers for him, and a chiffon or crochet dress for her, always works beautifully against the golden sand and sea light.

For something with a touch of sophistication, LEYLA MAYA offers some stunning coastal-inspired pieces that photograph really well, think flowing silhouettes, delicate textures, and subtle earthy tones. You can check out some inspiration at https://leylamaya.co.uk/.

Make sure to plan your shoot around the golden hour for that soft, warm glow, it adds a natural highlight to both skin tones and fabrics without needing heavy editing afterward.
