This blog post will focus on how to choose the right outfits to compliment your session at Curtis Hixson Park in Tampa, FL .
When I am in Florida and planning a photography session, I almost always offer Curtis Hixson Park as a location option. I like how versatile this location can be from its water park view, to city skyline backdrop of the rich textures of the museum’s building. You will find gates, reflections windows, and stain glass murals. You can go from a basic white wall to a rainbow of colors in a matter of 54 feet (no joke, I actually counted last time I shot there 😉 )
If you are shooting at Curtis Hixson and have scheduled a full session you have time for an outfit change, but if you have scheduled a mini session you may want to let me know which areas you want to focus on during our time together! Okay..so let’s break down your options!
The “Museums” Backdrop
I highly recommend the following pallets for this area of focus:
- Blue, Orange, White, Denim
- Navy Blue, Teal, White, Denim
- Pink Pops with Blue Tones
- Earth Tones, Whites, Tans, Burgundy
- Burgundy, Navy, Khaki, White
