FALL FAMILY PHOTO IDEAS: WHAT TO WEAR

2025 Updated!

I’m updating this a year later, in 2025, with another color scheme for fall family photo ideas. This time around, I was drawn to greens with pops of red, especially for mom. The first piece I started with are these incredible corduroy embroidered pants for boys– they’re so, so cute. I think this color palette would photograph beautifully in fall foliage and then look gorgeous on a Christmas card– or even if you waited a bit to take photos for a more wintery scene. Just another option to consider if you’re still putting together looks for fall family photos!

FOR MOM: Dress + Shoes

FOR DAD: Polo Sweater + Cords

FOR BABY GIRLS: Hair Bow + Dress

FOR BABY BOYS: Shirt + Overalls

FOR GIRLS: Hair Bow + Sweater + Skirt + Flats

FOR BOYS: Sweater + Pants + Boots

Today is a post that’s highly requested every year– fall family photo ideas. This is definitely a great time to get family portraits taken. I find fall foliage so pretty, there’s usually great lighting to work with in the autumn months, and (the best part) you’ll have updated photos just in time to select your holiday cards!

I was playing around with different color combinations for this particular round up and landed on burgundy, cream, and navy. What I really love about this is that the colors will pop beautifully with fall foliage and look great with holiday cards too! Kind of the best of both worlds. (Plus it’s just a classic combination and you can find bits of each color for everyone in the family without much searching so you can swap in things as you need.)

As always, for my fall family photo ideas I like to go for something coordinated and not overly matching. I think the key is going for a mix of textures, patterns, and solids to create the most dynamic combination. Because of the nature of my work, this part comes pretty naturally to me. If it’s not to you, I recommend laying out all the outfits together and snapping a quick photo to make sure nothing clashes (or is too matchy-matchy)!
