Planning a family photo session in the fall, whether you’re in a cityscape or surrounded by greenery, can be both exciting and a bit tricky. Here are five tips to help you dress your family for a stylish and comfortable session!
1. Embrace Earth Tones
Tip: Fall is all about rich, warm colors. Opt for earthy tones like deep greens, burnt oranges, browns, and mustard yellows. These colors complement the fall scenery beautifully.

2. You can Opt for Bright, Bold Colors
Tip: Warm fall temperatures often mean more vibrant colors. Choose outfits in bold, lively colors that pop against both city backgrounds and green spaces. Think rich blues, lively burgundy, and warm greens to stand out in photos.

4. Comfortable Footwear
Tip: Since you might be walking around during the session, make sure everyone wears comfortable shoes. Sneakers, stylish flats, or loafers work well. Avoid overly formal or restrictive shoes to keep the session relaxed.
5. Coordinate with the Environment
Tip: Consider your location when choosing outfits. In a cityscape, vibrant or sophisticated colors can make you stand out against urban backdrops. In greener spaces, earthy tones or patterns can complement the natural surroundings.
