How to style a family for fall family photos
When it comes to fall photoshoots, it’s all about embracing the season’s warmth and depth through textures, layers, and rich, timeless colors for a look that’s cozy yet stylish, with a mix of details that feel perfectly autumnal. Here’s how I put together the ultimate outfit for a fall cozy photoshoot in Destin , Florida .

1. Build with Layers
Fall is the season for layering, and it’s a trick that works wonders both for style and staying warm. Start with a lightweight base layer—like a fitted beige or cream turtleneck—and build up with a chunky knit cardigan (I love an off the shoulder look , so show a little more skin , but still staying warm )
2. Play with Texture
One of the easiest ways to make your photos pop is by mixing textures. Pair soft fabrics like a flowy skirt with a textured cable knit sweater .
3. Mix Patterns Thoughtfully
A fall photoshoot is the perfect opportunity to experiment with subtle pattern mixing. Start with a foundation print, like a plaid (like this adorable Plaid ROMPER ) The key is to keep the patterns in the same color family- here we used black , cream/tan , and a touch of plaid.

4. Embrace Warm Autumn Colors with a Touch of Black
For a cozy yet bold palette, blend warm tones like mustard, rust, and cream with classic black. A black midi skirt paired with a mustard sweater or a cream dress under a black leather jacket creates a balanced and striking look. Beige and cream soften the overall vibe, while black anchors the outfit and adds contrast that photographs beautifully. Neutral Color palettes also work so beautifully together ( think Creams Beiges with texture – View a lovely cozy fall in home session HERE
5. Accessories Matter
Don’t forget the finishing touches! Neutral boots or ankle booties in suede or leather are perfect for the season. Add a wide-brim hat or a pair of textured tights for extra flair. Jewelry should be simple but meaningful—a pair of gold hoops or a pendant necklace works beautifully.
6. Location-Inspired Styling
Lastly, let your location inspire your look. For a woodland backdrop, lean into earth tones and natural textures like wool and leather. If you’re shooting near pumpkins or fall foliage, mustard and black will stand out beautifully against the orange and red tones in the background.
A cozy fall photoshoot is all about feeling confident and comfortable in your outfit while channeling the essence of the season. With layers, textures, and a mix of warm autumn hues, you’ll create a look that’s both timeless and perfect for the camera.
