Fall: vibrant leaves, crisp air, and warm tones. Fall in Indianapolis is the perfect time for taking your family photos! Planning what to wear for fall family photos can be overwhelming, especially with little ones in the mix. Don’t worry- we have some easy, comfy ideal to help you all look your best while still keeping things fun and relaxed!
Removing the guesswork
Deciding what to wear for fall photos doesn’t have to be stressful! You can put together outfits that are comfortable, stylish, and perfect for documenting those precious family moments with just a little planning! Grab your cozy layers, play with textures and colors, and most importantly, enjoy this season with your family.
Cozy Layers
Fall is perfect for layering up, and it’s a great way to keep everyone warm! Think cardigans, light jackets, cozy sweaters in beautiful fall colors. Kiddos will be both warm and look adorable in soft knits and quilted vests.
Finding the Right Colors
Intentionality in your color choice is key! The decisions you make on what you wear will make a massive impact on your fall family photos. Consider the images you’re drawn to. Soft colors lend themselves to a light and airy look. While warm, rich color tones are great if you want a bolder look!
Patterns and Texture
If you really want to bring your outfits to life add in a pattern or some texture! Cable knits and tweeds: These will add a warm, cozy feel that screams fall. Patterns: Less is more here. Pick one or two subtle patterns (think small and understated) to incorporate in your outfits.
Coordinating, Not Matching
The key to family outfits is coordinating! Vary Textures: Try mixing fabrics like knits and cottons to keep it interesting and cozy. Mix and Match: Choose a color palette and have everyone’s outfits complement each other. Of one person has a pattern, maybe someone else can wear a solid color that matches what is in the pattern.
Cozy Fall Vibes for Kids
Dressing your children is a balancing act of comfort with cuteness. Comfort and mobility should absolutely be prioritized! Choose options that allow them to express their personality and move freely.
