Fall is the season of memories - cozy sweaters, crisp leaves, and those beautiful golden-hour family photos we cherish for years to come. If you’re planning your annual fall photoshoot (or just a cute backyard mini-session), picking the right outfits can make all the difference.
Whether you’re going for a timeless look or want to show off your family’s personality, here’s your guide to creating photo-perfect outfits that look coordinated, not cookie-cutter.
When it comes to fall photos, think earthy tones with a pop of warmth. 2025 color trends lean into cozy neutrals mixed with rich accents:
Warm Neutrals: Cream, taupe, camel, and chocolate brown
Earthy Greens: Olive, sage, and moss
Rust & Burnt Orange: Perfect for Thanksgiving vibes
Pops of Color: Deep burgundy, mustard, and even dusty rose
Pro tip: Start with one statement piece (like Mom’s dress or your family’s matching tees) and pull complementary colors for everyone else.

Gone are the days of everyone wearing the exact same shirt. Instead, aim for coordinated vibes.
Pick 2–3 main colors and mix textures (think corduroy, flannel, or knit).
Layer pieces — a cardigan for mom, a vest for dad, and a denim jacket for the kids.
Keep patterns minimal. If one person wears plaid, let the others wear solids or subtle prints.
If the kids are itchy or Mom can’t breathe in her jeans - it’ll show in the photos!
Choose breathable fabrics, stretch fits, and shoes you can move in. You’ll want to feel good while chasing little ones through crunchy leaves or sharing laughs on the porch steps.
For easy matching, try our Mommy + Me tees that pair perfectly with jeans, leggings, or skirts. They add a casual-yet-polished look that feels real - not staged.

Accessories bring your look together without going overboard.
Hats, scarves, or headbands in fall tones can tie everyone’s outfit together.
Don’t forget small details like socks or boots — they show up in sitting poses more than you’d think!
If you’re dressing for a Thanksgiving photoshoot, layer in cozy elements like flannel blankets or mugs of cocoa for that “we’re just hanging out” feel.
Where you take your photos matters.
In the park: Earthy greens and warm rusts stand out beautifully.
At home: Neutral colors and soft fabrics feel natural indoors.
Urban setting: Mix in denim, leather, and bold patterns for a little edge.
When in doubt, bring one outfit change - a cozy sweater look and a casual graphic tee moment - to give yourself options.
The best family photos aren’t about the perfect pose - they’re about the connection. Let the kids run, let the baby giggle, let the moment unfold. When you feel good, you look good.
