Embrace Autumn Hues: Mustard Yellow and Earthy Browns for Your Fall Family Session
Warm and Cozy: Mustard Yellow and Earthy Browns
This fall, consider embracing the warm and cozy color scheme of mustard yellow and earthy browns. These colors not only complement the natural fall backdrop but also add a touch of warmth and comfort to your photos. They look great hanging on your walls year-round and fall colors are pretty easy to find starting at the end of summer. This color palette works so well in the California landscape and here's how you can incorporate it into your family’s outfits.
Keep It Comfortable and Confident
First and foremost, your outfit should make you feel amazing. Whether you're drawn to classic denim and cozy sweaters or prefer chic dresses and tailored pants, the key is to choose something that feels true to you. Comfort is crucial—when you feel good in what you're wearing, it shows in the photos. Start with the most opinionated family member's outfit first. That way, it’s easier to coordinate the other outfits based on that one.
Choosing the Right Outfits
Here are some outfit ideas to help you get started:
Mom: A fun patterned jumpsuit paired with a cozy brown cardigan. Add some ankle boots and a statement necklace or earrings to complete the look.
Dad: Khaki chinos with a light brown polo. Finish off with casual clean sneakers or boots and a belt.
Kids: A cream-colored linen blend two-piece outfit or dress for the girls, and brown pants with a coordinating sweater or clean t-shirt for the boys.

Practical Tips for the Perfect Outfit
Layers Are Your Friend: Fall weather can be unpredictable, so layering is both stylish and practical. Think cardigans, vests, and light jackets that can be easily added or removed.
Comfort Is Key: Make sure everyone can move freely. Avoid stiff or restrictive clothing, especially for young children who need to run and play.
Focus on Details: Small touches like coordinating shoes, subtle accessories, and well-groomed hair can elevate your look without feeling overly styled. Sometimes adding a gold hoop or layered necklaces to an outfit really finish it off
Confidence Shines Brightest
While it’s easy to get caught up in creating Pinterest-worthy outfits, remember that the most cherished photos are those where everyone feels confident and happy. Choose outfits that reflect your family's unique style and personalities. When you’re comfortable and confident, it shows in every smile and candid moment captured. Sometimes you just have to be a bit flexible and let your kids wear the pink glitter jelly sandals or maybe this is the year that your kid’s raggedy puppy stuffy joins in your family photos and THAT’S OK. If it means we get happy smiles and not a screaming kid, I promise you that trade off is much better than the stress of trying to get the perfect photo.
Ultimately, the best outfits are the ones that make you feel like the best version of yourself. So, take these tips, have fun with your wardrobe choices, and enjoy creating beautiful memories with your loved ones this fall.
