Fall is the ideal time for family photoshoots, with its stunning autumn foliage and warm, earthy colors. It’s a season that brings out the best in nature’s palette, making for breathtaking family portraits. If you're planning a fall family photoshoot, choosing outfits that complement the season can create beautiful, timeless memories. Here are some outfit inspiration ideas to help your family look coordinated and camera-ready against those vibrant autumn backdrops!
Earthy tones like mustard yellow, forest green, burnt orange, and deep burgundy are perfect for fall. These colors blend beautifully with the natural hues of fallen leaves and autumn trees. Consider dressing different family members in coordinating colors from this palette for a cohesive look. For example, dress mom in a cozy rust-colored sweater, dad in a deep green jacket, and the kids in mustard yellow or burgundy.
If you prefer a classic, understated look, opt for neutrals like beige, cream, gray, and brown. Layering different shades of neutrals creates depth and adds interest without clashing with the vibrant fall background. Think tan cardigans, cozy cream sweaters, and brown boots. Our fall items, such as our kids’ autumn-themed shirts, are great for layering and add a subtle seasonal touch to the look.
Plaid patterns are practically synonymous with fall. Incorporate plaid subtly through scarves, flannel shirts, or even a plaid dress for a child. This adds a cozy, rustic feel to your family photos without overwhelming the scene. Just make sure to keep the plaid limited to one or two family members to maintain a cohesive look. A simple plaid scarf or a child’s plaid shirt can add just the right amount of seasonal flair.
Textures like knit sweaters, denim, corduroy, and wool add dimension to photos and make outfits look more visually interesting. Dress family members in different textures for an added layer of warmth and style. For example, dad can wear a knit sweater, mom a denim jacket, and the kids in corduroy overalls. This variation in textures creates a tactile feel that translates beautifully in photographs.
Accessories can make all the difference in tying a look together. Think hats, scarves, and boots that match the fall theme. Kids in cute beanies or mom in a wide-brimmed hat add charm and personality to the photos while enhancing the seasonal vibe. Matching accessories can also create a sense of unity in family photos.
Matching outfits don’t have to mean identical. Coordinate colors while allowing each family member to show their personality. For example, let everyone wear shades of orange, brown, and green but in different styles. Our fall family shirts can be a perfect addition, letting everyone feel unique while still looking like part of a cohesive whole.
Remember, your fall family photoshoot should be enjoyable! Choose outfits that allow everyone to move and have fun. Kids especially need comfortable clothing to run and play. Avoid overly formal attire and focus on soft fabrics and layers so everyone feels relaxed and at ease.
Finally, shoes are often overlooked in family photoshoots but can make a big difference in the overall look. Think brown boots, tan loafers, or simple, comfortable sneakers in fall colors. Avoid anything too flashy that might distract from the outfits or the beautiful fall scenery.
A fall family photoshoot is all about capturing precious memories, so focus on creating a look that feels authentic to your family. Whether you’re in matching layers or a mix of textures and colors, the most important thing is that everyone feels comfortable and happy.
