As we embrace the beauty of fall, it’s time to start planning those family photoshoots that not only capture the warmth and joy of the season - but all those amazing snuggles and personalities that are change and growing every week!. 🍂


But first things first—let’s talk fashion! Whether you're gathering the whole crew for a sunset session in a golden field or just want to look fab for your everyday outings, here's a guide to nailing that perfect fall family look...


 


I. Layers, Layers, Layers! 🎃


Fall fashion is all about layers, and I am here for it! From cozy jackets to oversized plaid shirts, layers add depth to your look and keep everyone comfortable during those chilly morning sessions. Grab a vest for dad, a flannel for your toddler, and a chic cardigan for yourself. Bonus points if everyone’s rocking different textures—it adds so much visual interest to your photos! Think of it as the easiest way to mix everyone's personal style without clashing.

II. Suede & Leather Vibes 👢


Who doesn’t love a touch of suede or leather? These materials scream autumn, and they bring such a classic, timeless vibe to your outfits. Suede boots, leather belts, and even those adorable mini leather jackets for the kids create a snuggly, textured look that’s perfect for any fall setting. Plus, they’re durable enough to withstand those playful moments when your little ones can’t resist jumping into leaf piles!


III. Hats & Accessories for the Win 🎩✨


Fall is your chance to accessorize like a pro! Cooler weather means wide-brim hats, fingerless gloves, and knit boot cuffs are not only stylish but functional. They can elevate any outfit from simple to stunning with minimal effort. Don’t be afraid to mix in fun accessories like earrings, scarves, or even a cute bow for your little girl’s hair. These small touches add personality to your family’s look and keep things fun!

IV. Embrace the Fall Color Palette 🍁


Autumn is all about those warm, rich hues. Earth tones like browns, deep greens, and rusts create a stunning backdrop against Indiana’s golden fields and vibrant trees. Jewel tones—think emeralds, rubies, and sapphires—can also pop beautifully in family photos. So don’t shy away from color; let your outfits shine and embrace the beauty of the season!
