Keep it simple: choose outfits that feel comfortable, coordinate well, and let everyone move easily. Your photos will look best when your family looks like themselves just slightly more polished.
Number one tip: For fall sessions, try to avoid overly bright or vibrant colors, as they can compete with the warm, earthy tones of the season. Instead, choose soft neutrals, muted shades, and rich autumn-inspired colors that complement the scenery.
Choose 3–4 colors
Instead of matching exactly, choose a few colors that look good together.
Great fall colors:
• Cream, ivory, tan, camel • Mustard, brown, navy, denim
• Rust, burnt orange, cinnamon. • Burgundy, plum, muted rose
• Olive, sage, forest green
Add cozy texture
Fall is the perfect time for:
• Sweaters and cardigans. • Dresses with tights or layers
• Denim jackets. • Boots and neutral shoes
• Flannel or corduroy.
Keep patterns simple
• Choose mostly solid colors. • Florals, soft plaid, and small stripes photograph well.
• One or two subtle patterns is perfect. • Avoid large logos, words, characters, and neon colors.

What to Wear for Fall Minis
Family Pro Tips
Fall mini sessions are short, sweet, and all about capturing your family as you are right now—giggles, cuddles, big personalities, and all. A little preparation can help the experience feel relaxed and fun for everyone.
Arrive early
Please plan to arrive about 10–15 minutes before your scheduled session time. Mini sessions move quickly, so arriving early gives your family a moment to park, get settled, and be fully ready when it is your turn.
Keep it fun
The best photos happen when everyone can relax and enjoy each other. There is no pressure for kids to sit perfectly still or smile at the camera the entire time. Trust me, I have two little girls, It’s better to just let them have fun and be themselves. I’ll gently butt in when needed and guide you all through poses and prompts, but the candid laughs, hugs, hand-holding, and in-between moments are usually the real magic.
Pets
Feel free to bring your dog if they are part of the family—just let me know beforehand, and bring a leash plus someone who can help with them when they are not in photos!
IMPORTANT POLICIES
Late arrivals
Fall mini sessions are only 15 minutes long and are scheduled one after another. Please plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early so you are parked, dressed, and ready to begin at your scheduled start time.
If you arrive late, your session will still end at its originally scheduled time. Unfortunately, I cannot extend or shift session times, as doing so would affect the clients scheduled after you. If you miss your session entirely, it will be considered a cancellation and the retainer will not be refunded.
Rescheduling and cancellations
I know that life happens—especially with busy schedules, little ones, work, weather, and everything in between. If you need to reschedule, please reach out as soon as possible.
I have backup dates available for fall minis in case a session needs to be moved due to weather or an unexpected conflict. If you need to reschedule, I will do my best to move your session to one of the available backup dates. Rescheduled sessions are subject to availability, so an exact time cannot be guaranteed.
The $50 retainer remains non-refundable, but it may be transferred to a backup date if needed!
Sharing images
I love sharing the beautiful people and moments I get to photograph on social media, my website, and future promotional materials. If you would prefer to keep your images private, just let me know before your session.
