5 Tips for Looking (and Feeling) Your Best During a Summer Engagement Session in Florida

1. Tame the Humidity: Hair Edition

Florida’s humidity can be a total mood-killer for your blowout. Here's how to prep:

• Choose a style that works with the humidity, not against it. Think soft waves, textured updos, or romantic braids.

• Use anti-humidity products like serums, creams, or even setting sprays made for taming frizz.

• Book a professional stylist who’s used to working with Florida weather—they’ll know the tricks to help your style last.

2. Timing Is Everything

We schedule most summer engagement sessions in the early morning or during golden hour (about an hour before sunset). Why? Softer light, cooler temps, and a lot less sweating.

3. Blotting Sheets Are Your BFF

Humidity equals shine, and while a little glow is gorgeous, blotting papers can help keep it in check—especially on the T-zone.

4. Stay Hydrated

Bring a water bottle, maybe even a mini cooler. Trust me, between outfit changes and posing in the sun, you’ll need it.

5. Opt for Breathable Outfits

Think light, flowy dresses or linen shirts. Fabrics that breathe will keep you cooler—and look amazing when they catch the breeze.
