What to Wear for Fall Family Photos ๐Ÿ‚


Fall is one of my absolute favourite times of year to photograph families! The colours, the cozy feeling, and that gorgeous golden light all come together to create some of my favourite images.


But did you know that what you wear can make a huge difference in how your final photos look?


With all those beautiful oranges, reds, yellows and greens in the background, choosing outfits that complement those colours rather than compete with them can really help your family stand out and keep the focus where it belongs โ€” on you!


Think warm, earthy tones, soft neutrals, cozy textures and colours that work well together without everyone being too โ€œmatchy-matchy.โ€ And don't be afraid to add layers โ€” sweaters, cardigans, boots and scarves can all add that extra cozy fall feel.


The goal isn't to have everyone dressed perfectly. It's to have everyone looking and feeling like themselves, while creating a beautiful, timeless look that works with all those gorgeous fall colours. ๐Ÿ


A little thought into your outfits can go a long way in turning beautiful fall scenery into beautiful family photos you'll love for years to come!

See the difference? ๐Ÿ‚


Look how beautifully cohesive this family looks! Their outfits all work together without being overly matchy, and the warm browns, creams and neutrals complement the fall colours around them rather than competing with them.


The result? The family is the focus, while all those beautiful fall colours get to shine in the background. And thatโ€™s exactly what we want!
