WHAT TO WEAR FOR BEAUTIFUL SUMMER PHOTOS AT NOSE HILL PARK


As you can see, Nose Hill Park is sooo dreamy, romantic & earthy! Soft, subtle colours like pinks, greens & creams go beautifully with the rolling hills and grass. However, bold colours, blacks & whites, work well in this photo location too, as you will see in the couples session I captured as well. The sky really is the limit and it's up to you to decide. As a Calgary lifestyle photographer myself, I always work with my clients to find out what they're like and what story they want to tell before deciding on what to wear.

Obviously Calgary can be unpredictable when it comes to weather, but my favourite locations aren't too windy either.
