FALL FAMILY PHOTO STYLE GUIDE
Updated: Sep 10
As a Utah family photographer, I am dedicated to making your session as seamless and stress-free as possible.
Consider the Color Palette
Choose muted, earthy tones like sage, soft navy, charcoal, dusty rose, mocha, dusty blue, terra cotta, and soft mauve that blend with fall tones and don't compete with the natural tones found in nature.
Mix and match colors that complement each other, avoiding that “everyone in matching outfits” look.
Incorporate neutral colors like cream, beige, or gray to balance out the brighter hues, making it easier to coordinate with what you already have in your closet.
2. Layering is Key
Fall weather can be unpredictable, so layering not only keeps everyone warm but also adds style.
Think about adding scarves, cardigans, or vests that you can easily take off if it gets too warm.
Layering helps accommodate those little ones who might get cranky if they’re too hot or too cold.
3. Choose Comfortable Fabrics
Opt for materials that are soft and comfortable, especially for the kids who might be fidgety during the shoot.
Avoid stiff fabrics that can restrict movement or make your little ones uncomfortable.
Soft knits and cotton blends are great choices that allow for playfulness during the photo session.
4. Coordinate, Don’t Match
Instead of having everyone wear the same color, select outfits that complement each other for a more relaxed look.
Incorporate different patterns and textures to add visual interest without overwhelming the photo.
Consider using one or two standout pieces, like a patterned dress for your daughter or a bold jacket for your son, to tie everything together.
5. Plan for the Location
Think about the location of your photos when picking outfits; they should complement the backdrop.
Choose outfits that harmonize with the surroundings, whether it’s a park, forest, or urban setting.
Take into consideration the colors of the leaves and the overall vibe of the location to create a cohesive look.
By following these tips, you can streamline the outfit selection process for your fall family photos, making it a fun and stress-free experience for everyone involved!
