Fall Family Photos // What to Wear

Ah, fall—the season of pumpkin spice everything, cozy sweaters, and family photos! But let’s be honest, planning outfits for those picture-perfect moments can feel more like a headache than a hayride. Don’t stress! Here’s your ultimate guide to making your family look great while keeping your sanity intact.

Mom’s Outfit Comes First—You Deserve It!

Listen up, moms: you’re the MVP of this photoshoot, so start with YOU. Pick something that makes you feel amazing, whether it’s a flowy dress, a chic sweater, or that top you’ve been dying to wear. Once you’re happy with your outfit, it’s way easier to coordinate the rest of the crew around you. Think of it like setting the stage—you’re the star, and everyone else follows your fabulous lead.

Muted Colors and Neutrals—Timeless and Gorgeous

When picking colors, think soft, cozy, and classic. Muted tones and neutrals—like creamy beiges, dusty blues, and forest greens—look incredible on camera and won’t leave you cringing in a few years. The goal is to create a cohesive look without anyone stealing the spotlight (looking at you, neon). Stick to 2-3 colors max and avoid those big logos; trust me, no one needs to see your kid’s favorite cartoon character sneaking into your family photos.

Layer Up!

Layers aren’t just for staying warm—they’re great for adding extra texture and dimension! Adding layers like vests, scarves, and cardigans makes your outfit pop and gives the camera extra textures and details to capture. Plus, layers can be your best friend when the weather is playing games (thanks, Utah weather). So go ahead and throw on that cute jacket or cozy flannel—it’s the secret sauce that makes photos interesting and dynamic.\

Make Sure You Love What You Wear—These Are Going on the Wall!

Above all else, wear what makes you happy! These photos will be a part of your home for years to come, so don’t get too wrapped up in trends or what you think you “should” wear. It’ll shine through in every shot if you’re comfy and confident. So embrace your style, smile big, and know these photos will be unique because they’re 100% you.
