what to wear for fall family photos for chicago moms
Fall is coming! As you get ready to book your fall photos in Chicago, one key element to consider is what to wear for fall family photos. In this blog post, I will guide you on how to coordinate warm neutral tones for a cohesive look that will result in beautiful, timeless portraits. All items will be linked below! But first, some tips.
Embrace Warm Neutrals: Warm neutral tones are a great choice for fall family photography. Consider colors like browns, olives, and creams. These hues complement the autumn landscape, without directly competing with it.
Coordinating the Family’s Attire: Coordinating your family’s outfits doesn’t mean everyone has to wear the exact same thing. Instead, focus on creating a harmonious color palette that complements each family member. Start with a foundational piece in a warm neutral tone, such as a cream or caramel-colored sweater or dress (I recommend starting with mom’s dress). Then, add layers for warmth and accents in complementary shades to create depth and visual interest.
Mix Textures and Patterns: To add visual texture and dimension to your family’s attire, experiment with different fabrics and patterns. Consider incorporating knits or subtle floral prints.
