Hello friends! Your favorite post is back, but this time let’s make it for fall! I know that one of the top stressors for moms is wondering what to wear for your fall family photos and how to put it all together! The style guide below will help you find quality pieces to make planning your family session a breeze.
My wardrobe is always included for my full newborn and family sessions, however families can also choose to utilize my “what to wear” guides also! I have spent the last month purchasing a few new dresses for mamas and kiddos! My dad rack will get a facelift next! (Dad’s be sure to check out some of the pant options below since my wardrobe does not include them!)
Tips for Dressing your Family
- Avoid colors that are dark, 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!
What to Wear for Your Fall Family Photos:
The Neutral Lover
This one is something that I would absolutely dress my family in! I’m a big fan of light and bright neutrals, and I don’t believe there is such a thing as too much white!

What to Wear for Your Fall Family Photos:
The Color Lover
Sage green is calling my name this year! It’s just such a pretty color yet somehow still neutral! You could even flip this with a pair of olive green pants and oatmeal sweater.

What to Wear for Your Fall Family Photos:
Shades of Blue
I have a lot of mamas with boys who love to wear blue! (And if you have an ultra trendy house with blues in it, this would be BEAUTIFUL on your walls!) My only caution here is not to go too dark with your tones. Bonus: There’s an alternate mama dress here AND a dress from a favorite small shop of mine!
