You’ve found the perfect outfit at Love Olive Co—now it’s time to capture it in a photo that’s just as stylish. Whether you're snapping pics for Instagram, updating your blog, or just wanting to preserve the moment, learning how to take Insta-worthy photos can make all the difference.
In this guide, we’re sharing easy, actionable tips to help you take stunning, scroll-stopping photos in your Love Olive Co outfits—no professional camera (or photographer) required!
Lighting is everything when it comes to aesthetic outfit photos. The best time to shoot? Golden hour—an hour after sunrise or an hour before sunset. This warm, soft lighting adds a dreamy, flattering glow to your skin and outfit.
Pro Tip: Avoid direct midday sun, which can cause harsh shadows and washed-out colors. If you must shoot during the day, find open shade (like under a tree or building awning) to create even lighting.
Your Love Olive Co outfit should be the star of the photo. Choose a background that complements, not competes with, your clothes. Think neutral walls, textured brick, colorful doors, or nature-inspired settings like wildflower fields or city parks.
Great Backdrop Ideas:
White or light-colored walls
Murals or pastel storefronts
Nature spots (think Utah canyons or Idaho sunflower fields)
Clean, minimal indoor spaces with good light
You don’t need to be a professional to look confident in photos—just try natural poses that highlight your outfit’s shape and style.
Try These Easy Poses:
Walking slowly toward the camera
Looking off to the side while adjusting your sleeve or hair
Sitting casually on stairs or a bench
Twirling in a flowy dress to capture movement
Holding your bag or a coffee for a lifestyle vibe
Pro Tip: Avoid standing stiff. Breathe, move, and experiment until it feels effortless.
Yes, you can get high-quality shots on your phone! Here’s how to make the most of it:
Clean the lens for crisp photos
Tap to focus on your face or outfit details
Use portrait mode for a blurred background
Shoot in natural light—avoid flash
Use the timer or a tripod for hands-free full-body shots
Editing Apps We Love: Lightroom Mobile, Tezza, VSCO, and Snapseed (keep edits light and true to life!)
