The Benefits Of Outdoor Fall Family Photos
Fall is the BEST season to have an outdoor photoshoot for your family.
- The colorful foliage of this season creates a stunning backdrop for your photos, adding depth and visual appeal.
- The cooler temperatures make outdoor photoshoots more comfortable for everyone involved. Unlike the scorching heat of the summer or the freezing cold of winter, autumn provides a pleasant climate that allows you and your family to relax and enjoy the experience.
- Fall is often associated with warmth, coziness, and family gatherings. By scheduling a family photo shoot, you will capture the ‘essence’ of the season, which will evoke feelings of love, togetherness, and joy through beautiful imagery.
Finding the Perfect Location
There are so many options when deciding on your outdoor location. Fall provides many breathtaking backdrops that can accentuate your family’s unique personality and style.
- A park or nature reserve will add an extra touch of beauty to your pictures. The colorful fall foliage and natural surroundings will add a touch of magic to your family photos.
- A downtown area or a historic district with charming architecture and picturesque streets. You could even find an area that looks like Stars Hollow!
- At your home (or another location with sentimental value). This will add a personal touch to your images and make the experience more personal and comfortable for everyone involved.
Family Photoshoot Outfit Ideas – Fall
What you decide to wear for your session will directly impact how your photos look and feel. I cannot stress this enough! Here are some tips to help guide you.
1. Embrace the Season’s Palette
- Deep Reds: Deep reds, reminiscent of autumn leaves, bring a touch of passion and warmth to your photos. Incorporating this color can add a striking focal point to your ensemble.
- Burnt Oranges: The rich, burnt oranges of fall evoke feelings of coziness and nostalgia. Outfits in this shade can convey a sense of togetherness and comfort.
- Earthy Browns: Earthy browns represent the grounding and nurturing aspects of family. Incorporate brown tones for a balanced and harmonious look.
- Complementary Colors: While these shades are essential, don’t hesitate to mix them with complementary colors. Hints of mustard yellows, forest greens, or deep purples can add depth and dimension to your outfits.
- Pro Tip: To maintain balance, use these autumn hues strategically. For example, you can choose one bold color as the focal point and complement it with neutrals or muted shades for the rest of the family’s attire. This approach ensures that your family shines amidst the fall backdrop.
2. Define Your Style and Vibe
- When planning your family photoshoot, it’s essential to think beyond just the colors and consider the overall style and vibe you want to convey. This step allows you to create a set of photos that truly reflect your family’s personality and story.
3. Prioritize Practicality
Layering is your best friend when it comes to dressing for fall photoshoots. It provides adaptability in response to changing weather conditions.
- Start with a comfortable base layer, such as a soft long-sleeve shirt or a lightweight sweater. This provides warmth while allowing for breathability.
- Add a stylish mid-layer, like a cardigan or a denim jacket, that can be easily removed or added as needed.
- Top it off with a weather-resistant outer layer, such as a light raincoat or a windbreaker, to protect against unexpected rain or wind.
- Pro Tip: Choose layers in coordinating colors to maintain a cohesive look while staying prepared for any weather surprises.
4. Happy feet
- Consider ankle boots or closed-toe shoes with good support, especially if you plan to explore outdoor locations with uneven terrain.
- Make sure everyone’s shoes are broken in and comfortable to prevent discomfort during the shoot.
- Pro Tip: If you anticipate muddy or wet conditions, bring an extra pair of shoes for each family member to change into after the shoot.
5. Stylish and Practical Accents
- Accessories can enhance your outfits and provide practicality in uncertain weather.
- Pack various accessories like scarves, hats, and gloves that can be added or removed as needed.
- Choose accessories that complement your family’s style while keeping everyone warm and cozy.
- Pro Tip: Opt for waterproof or water-resistant accessories if there’s a chance of rain, and don’t forget to pack an umbrella just in case.
