What should we wear for family photos at Wrightsville Beach?

Neutral colors, soft blues, creams, light greens, and earth tones photograph well on the beach. Coordinating outfits usually look better than everyone wearing identical clothing. Comfortable clothing also helps everyone relax during the session.
