Hey there! Do you have a Fall family session booked and in need of some fall photo outfit ideas? Or maybe, you just need some inspiration for a DIY photoshoot with your kiddos. Either way, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Danielle. I’m a New Jersey family photographer, and helping my clients out with their wadrobe is one of my favorite things to do! In this blog post, you’ll gain 3 tips to make outfit planning a breeze.

Fall Photo Outfit Tip # 1 – Choose Your Color Palette

Upon booking a family session with me, I send all my clients a detailed style guide. In the style guide, I give my clients an example color pallette with a blend of natural colors for them to refer to. I recommend going with neutral tones like white, tan, shades of brown & beige for the best look. You want to stay away from bright colors like yellow, pink, light blue & bright green, etc. Those colors tend to clash with the background (especially if you’re at a park or any area where there is a lot of green grass.)

Fall Photo Outfit Tip # 2 – Don’t Put Everyone in the Same Exact Color

It’s okay if two or more family members are in the same color. I just recommend not putting every single person in the same color. Using a blend of 2 or 3 colors within the color pallette adds a nice contrast to your overall photos. Again, make sure the colors you choose are matching. You can use the color pallette below as an example.

Fall Photo Outfit Tip # 3- Dress Up A little (Not too Much Though)

I always tell my clients to not be afraid to dress up a little. However, that doesn’t mean to put on a ball gown and high heels! I mean to not be afraid to put on a long, flowy boho type dress. Maybe a nice button down on your husband and son. Add a cute bow to your dauther’s hair. Stuff like that is what adds a dressier element to your photos. I always recommend long flowy dresses over short type ones because they are more comfortable and just look better in the photos (in my opinion.) Here are some Amazon Links for dresses that I recommend: Dress # 1 Dress # 2 Dress # 3

There you have it! My top 3 tips for choosing fall photo outits. I hope these tips were helpful, and you will put them to good use for your future session.

Newborn sessions are taken in the comfort of your own home. Sessions are scheduled one - three weeks after the baby's birth. Photos include the whole family and are mostly candid. Little props are used.

Maternity Sessions are taken between 28-34 weeks. Sessions are taken at golden hour (one hour before sunset.) Poses include individual images of the mama to be, and poses with a spouse/partner.

Family sessions are taken at golden hour (one hour before sunset). Poses are mostly candid & organic; although some posed images will be sprinkled in. 

EXPLORE SERVICES

My name is Danielle. I started Danielle Stio Photography in 2021. There is something about being an entrepreneur that really motivates me. This is more than a hobby for me. It is a passion and a calling.
I started this business at a very dark time in my life. I was searching for meaning and purpose and I found that through photography. My hope is that I can put a smile on my clients faces not only during their session , but after their session; and especially when their gallery is delivered.
