WHAT TO WEAR TO YOUR FALL PHOTO SESSION

I love putting together outfit ideas for the fall! It is my favorite season for fashion: layers, vests, tights and clogs! There are many fun options and combinations! I always lean towards blues, golds, dark greens and chambray, and this is especially true for photo shoots. Greens and Blues definitely complement the fall reds and burnt orange colors occurring in nature.

I like to recommend that Moms should choose their outfit first and then build the other outfits in complementing colors from there. For women and girls I highly recommend dresses and skirts. Even if it is not your normal go-to, they photograph so much better than jeans. The movement in the pictures is gorgeous, plus little girls twirling pictures are so cute!! I also recommend staying away from too many patterns that may contrast too much in pictures. Finally, I always like to recommend staying away from words on shirts. They can be hard to read in family pictures.

My favorite stores to look for photo shoot outfits are J.Crew (I have lately even found cute things at J.Crew Factory as well), Tea Collection, the Gap, Alice + Ames, H&M, Zara, and more! I hope you enjoy these fall outfit mood boards I’ve put together.

*One final note. Men are absent from these boards. I’m sorry! I normally just recommend that men wear khakis or dark jeans and a blue solid, gingham or striped button down depending on what everyone else is wearing :) Happy shopping!

Dorothea Dix Sunflower Session

The surprise sunflowers at Dorothea Dix park last summer was gorgeous. Even with all the crowds it was still possible to get some beautiful pictures without all the tourists in the background. I’m really hoping this is an annual thing because it’s totally worth braving the traffic, heat and bugs to see it.
