How To Prepare For Family Fall Portraits And Wardrobe
With the cooler weather upon us, it’s time to start thinking about family fall portraits and wardrobe. The following are tips to help you prepare for an enjoyable and stress-free experience as well as tips on how to choose your wardrobe, hair and make-up style, and location shoot that will get you amazing pictures to last a lifetime.
Planning your photoshoot
If you are hosting a photoshoot of your family, one thing to keep in mind is the lighting. Try to photograph the portraits outside and take care of your little ones by dressing them in clothes that are easily washable in case there is any kind of mess during the session. Most importantly, have fun with it! It's easy to feel too stressed out about family portraits but they're meant to be lighthearted and full of laughter.
Taking into account location and wardrobe
Fall is a beautiful time of year with beautiful colors and scenery. Whether you're in the city or in the country, the colors will be changing and there will be plenty to see. This is also a time for family portraits, so it's important to be prepared for those wardrobe changes. Colors for fall can range from deep, rich tones like burgundy and dark greens to light colors like pumpkin orange and light browns. Whatever colors you choose, make sure they are complementary so you can look your best!
When (and how) to schedule photo sessions
Fall is the best time for family photography. Whether you have kids who are attending school for the first time, or have young children and teens, fall has many activities that can be incorporated into a photography session. Scheduling fall sessions means families will have wonderful images to remember this season of change. If you are thinking about booking family portraits this fall, consider these considerations:
-What's your timeline? This is an important question because the best way to approach scheduling a photo shoot is on a date with minimum potential conflicts that accommodates everyone in your family. Families who are living in different places will want to schedule their shoot around a date when they all live together so they're easier to gather as an entire unit . Also, don't forget to schedule your family photography session around events like Halloween or Thanksgiving!

When it comes to family photography, dressing up (or down) is always encouraged.
-Photo locations: A well thought out plan ahead of time makes getting the perfect shot much easier than trying to brainstorm ideas once you get there! Family photographers recommend scouting out at least one location beforehand based on what you envision your photos should look like (e.g., suburban lawns versus forest paths).
-Stay cozy: The other crucial thing families should do during a family portrait session is make sure everyone's wearing layers!
