It’s the end of September and as the humidity fades {yay!} and temperatures cool down I cannot wait to be outside…every day, all day. Fall is my favorite time of year ~ the holidays are coming, I can b r e a t h e while running, drink pumpkin lattes and raid my kids’ halloween stash…only kidding girls, I’d never do that {eh hem}.
The end of September also marks the beginning of my favorite time of year for family photo sessions. There are so many options for locations in the Fall and I love to customize the location to match my clients’ style, whether it’s at a park, in a field, on a lake, at home, downtown, or at the state fair {!!!}.
Every year I have fun creating outfits online using mostly gap and jcrew clothes to give you some inspiration as you plan your family photos. Pin it, share it, tuck it away for our next session, or just ogle and enjoy!
When choosing outfits for family photos, I always stick to a neutral palette first and then select one or two colors to feature. This year, I used cream, gray and navy and then added touches of rust and red for Fall. I love how they are laid back and comfortable yet stylish; it works in any location setting. Notice how there aren’t any logos or writing on any of the clothes? That helps to keep the photographs from being dated and the focus stays on the members of the family, where it belongs, instead of the clothes. These outfits would look amazing on the walls of any room and look good in any style home, not to mention they would make fantastic holiday cards.
Want even more inspiration? I have dedicated an entire board on pinterest with what to wear examples and tips.

Do you know where the gray and cream sweater is from in this photo? It’s perfect, and I would love to get one for my little guy! Thank you!

Actually, if you have wardrobe info on the mom and dad tops and both boys’ tops, I’d take them all! Thanks!
