🍂 FALL FAMILY SESSION STYLE GUIDE 🍂

“What should we wear?” is probably the #1 question I get before family sessions, so I put together a few tips + some ready to shop Amazon outfit inspiration to make planning a little easier!

For fall photos, think coordinated, not matching. Choose a color palette and mix different shades, textures and subtle patterns throughout the family.

✨ Start with Mom’s outfit and build everyone else around it.
✨ Think cream, camel, rust, olive, burgundy, chocolate brown, denim + other warm, muted tones.
✨ Knits, linen, corduroy, denim and flowy fabrics photograph beautifully.
✨ Avoid neon colors, large logos + having everyone in the exact same color.
✨ Don’t be afraid to mix textures and add a subtle pattern!

I also put together three complete family outfit ideas on Amazon so you can shop the looks directly or just use them as inspiration with pieces you already own!

Soft + Neutral: https://a.co/d/0dwlzA75

Rich + Moody: https://a.co/d/0cpx9qBb

Warm + Earthy: https://a.co/d/08SjuNtb

And if you’re booked with me and stuck between outfits, send me photos! I’m always happy to help you put everything together before your session.

Expecting a 2026 or 2027 baby? 🤍

Newborn sessions give you a way to hold onto just how tiny they were. The little fingers, sleepy expressions, curled up legs, and all of the details that change before you even realize it.

Every session is thoughtfully styled around your baby and your family, with a beautiful collection of wraps, textures, props, and wardrobe pieces selected to create timeless images you’ll still love years from now.

If you’re expecting, now is the perfect time to get on my calendar! I take a limited number of newborn sessions each month to ensure every family gets the time and attention they deserve.

Years from now, these images won't just remind you what your baby looked like. They'll remind you how it felt to hold them when they were still so very little.

Would you believe this sweet baby was almost 3 months old for her newborn session? 🤍

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is, "We missed the newborn stage."

The truth is... you really don't have to.

While those sleepy, curled up poses are easiest during the first couple of weeks, beautiful newborn portraits can absolutely still happen later. Every baby is different, and this little one was the sweetest reminder that it's never too late to capture this chapter.

So if life got busy, you had a NICU stay, or you simply weren't ready those first few weeks, don't count yourself out. I'd still love to help you preserve these memories before they're gone.
