Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year for family portraits, with nature offering a stunning backdrop of golden hues and rich textures. But with so many wardrobe options to choose from, deciding what to wear for your fall family portraits can feel overwhelming. This fall seasonal style guide will help you choose what to wear for fall family portraits that compliment the season while creating a timeless, light, and airy look for your photos.

The Fall Seasonal Style Guide

1. Embrace Neutral Tones

One of the best ways to achieve a light and airy feel in your portraits is by opting for neutral colors. Shades like cream, tan, soft browns, and white offer a timeless elegance that blends seamlessly with the fall scenery while ensuring your family stands out. These colors work beautifully with the season’s earthy tones of red, orange & yellow, but won’t clash with the natural backdrop. Think of neutral tones as a way to let your family’s connection take center stage, with nature as a subtle compliment.

2. Layer with Textures and Accessories

Fall is all about layering, and incorporating textures into your outfits will add dimension and visual interest to your photos. Knit sweaters, cable-knit scarves, or a cozy plaid shirt for boys are perfect for creating that warm, seasonal look. For women, opt for fall-like patterns & textiles—think gingham or courduroy—that add a pop of detail without overwhelming the image. Accessories like scarves, hats, or even a structured jacket can add a sophisticated touch to your outfits while allowing for flexibility as temperatures change throughout the session.

3. Coordinate Without Matching

For a cohesive look, aim to coordinate your family’s outfits rather than matching them. Choose a color palette (such as neutrals, soft earth tones, or muted fall shades) and let each family member wear a variation of those hues. This creates harmony in the photos while allowing each person to showcase their individual style. The key is to keep things simple and refined, avoiding loud patterns or overly bright colors that may detract from the natural beauty of the fall setting.

4. Consider Your Location

When planning your outfits, think about the location of your fall family portraits. My fall mini sessions take place in serene field backdrops that allow Ohio’s nature to shine while keeping the focus on your family. Neutrals and soft layers will create a look that feels effortless and organic against these beautiful landscapes, helping your photos feel natural to the season.

These four simple tips are sure to help guide you in the right direction on what to wear for your upcoming fall family photo session!

Cleveland Arcade Family Session

Family

READ MORE

In the heart of downtown Cleveland, where history meets elegance, I had the pleasure of capturing an iconic Cleveland Arcade family session for the holiday. This historic building, with its grandeur and charm, provided the perfect backdrop for a festive session filled with warmth and timeless beauty. A jewel in the city’s architecture, boasts a rich history and an opulent interior. Housing shops, restaurants, and a hotel, it exudes a timeless allure that made it an ideal setting for capturing Christmas portraits.

Although the arcade wasn’t yet adorned with traditional holiday decorations, the gold accents and enchanting cafe string lights created a magical ambiance. The warm glow of these lights added a touch of holiday spirit, turning the session into a festive affair that celebrated the joy of the season.

Cleveland Arcade Family Session

As winter winds chilled the streets outside, the arcade provided a cozy and elegant indoor haven for the family session. The rich hues of gold and the ambient lighting not only set the stage for beautiful portraits but also offered a welcome escape from the cold, allowing the family to focus on creating cherished memories.

One of the advantages of shooting at the Cleveland Arcade was the versatility of indoor settings. From the grandeur of the hotel staircase to the quaint charm of the cafe string lights, each location within the arcade added a unique dimension to the family’s Christmas portraits, creating a visual story that unfolded against the backdrop of Cleveland’s history.

Cleveland Tree Farm Milestone

Milestone

READ MORE

In the heart of a Cleveland suburb, amidst the whispering pines and the crisp winter air, I recently had the pleasure of capturing a unique blend of joy and milestones. This Cleveland Tree Farm Milestone session unfolded early in the morning at a charming tree farm, where the magic of a first birthday seamlessly intertwined with the warmth of a family portrait session. The rows of evergreens created a picturesque scene, framing the family in a winter wonderland that perfectly mirrored the festive season.

With the family’s love for the outdoors, the decision to photography both the first birthday milestone photography & family christmas portraits at a tree farm was a natural choice. The lush evergreen backdrop not only complemented their outdoor lifestyle but also added a touch of holiday enchantment, given that baby girl’s birthday fell close to Christmas.

Mom’s loving touch was evident in every detail, including the homemade smash cake she crafted for her precious baby girl. The joy on the little one’s face as she dove into her cake added an extra layer of sweetness to the photographs, capturing the essence of a first birthday celebration.

Timing is crucial when photographing little ones, and the early morning session proved to be a strategic choice. Before the morning naps were beckoning, we navigated through the tree farm, capturing moments of laughter, exploration, and genuine family connection. Milestone sessions, typically lasting 20 to 30 minutes, are a perfect window to hold a toddler’s attention. The fleeting nature of these sessions allows for the genuine, unscripted moments that define a family’s unique story.

As the sun cast its golden hue on the tree farm, I couldn’t help but reflect on the magic of the moment. Combining a first birthday celebration and family photography at the tree farm encapsulated the essence of this outdoor-loving family and created timeless memories that will be cherished for years to come.

As a Cleveland family photographer, I have had the privilege of witnessing beautiful moments in the lives of many wonderful families. This fall, I had the joy of reuniting with a past client. Now lovely family of three who flew all the way from Texas to Ohio for a short weekend visit with their friends and family. It was during this brief homecoming that we had the opportunity to capture the enchanting beauty of the season with a Cleveland fall family photography session against the backdrop of the vibrant autumnal foliage.

The heartwarming reunion with this family was particularly special because I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding several years ago. Seeing them again, now as a family of three, filled me with a sense of nostalgia and joy. It was a heartening reminder of the enduring connections I’ve been fortunate to build with my clients over the years.

While planning a fall family session, we often rely on the unpredictability of Mother Nature. But for this session, we hit the jackpot. The weather was very much on our side. We were blessed with the most incredible temperatures and an awe-inspiring sunset that set the sky ablaze with warm hues. It was as though nature itself had conspired to create the perfect canvas for our family portraits.

Cleveland Fall Family Photography

With the backdrop of Cleveland’s autumnal colors, our photography session was bathed in the warm and inviting hues of red, orange, and gold. The trees, adorned with their fall foliage, framed the family beautifully, accentuating their happiness and love. It’s moments like these that make me fall in love with my job all over again.

During the session, I encouraged this family to simply play with their sweet girl, to savor the moments and the beauty that surrounded them. The result was a collection of candid and heartwarming images. They not only showcased their connection but also the natural beauty of the fall season. While it took a moment for baby girl to warm up, we eventually got the most darling smiles.
