Hi there! We all love a good “what to wear” post, so I’m bringing it back for another fall edition!
Other than the actual act of getting everyone dressed and ready to go, I know that panning can be one of the hardest parts about fall family sessions. I hope that the style guide below will give you some easy inspiration to make your next session stress free!
Tips for Dressing your Family
- Avoid colors that are bold, or bright (The person wearing those colors will stand out the most!)
- Think about your background. Is it busy, like Adriatica? If so, solids are going to be your best choice.
- Start with mama, always! Once you have a dress that you love and is flattering, then plan everyone else based on your choice!
- Rompers work well for babies so that we are never worried about diapers showing.
- Choose a color palette of 2-3 colors. Be sure to stay within the same tone. (For example, if you choose olive green a dusty rose pink would pair well, but not a bright pink.)
- Don’t forget your matching shoes and bloomers for girls!

Other Fall Family Styling Tips
- Accessories are your friends! (Think about the whole family!) We’re talking shoes/boots, jewelry, suspenders, hats, etc. I just love anything that is fun and interesting in your family photos!
- Don’t forget your nails!
- Can we be so bold to try black this fall? I’ve got one family going for it in an all white studio! It’s going to be beautiful. I just know you’ll love to see it!
