Showcase Your Personal Style

Family Portrait sessions during the Fall are an amazing time to showcase your personal style. It’s truly your time to shine! It’s a time for bold colors, sleek silhouettes, and memorable pieces. If you’re someone who has a signature style, this is the perfect time to show up and show out! Think about those statement pieces you’ve been waiting to wear or those unique accessories that define your look. This is your moment to shine and let your individuality take center stage in your photos.

Coordinating Your Family

Now, as far as coordinating your family for your Northern Virginia Family photoshoot! I’m a big fan of textures and complimentary colors. This means that lace, cable knit, satin, wool, and corduroy are all welcome in the same family photo! Mixing these textures adds depth and interest to your photos, creating a rich and cozy fall aesthetic. The key is to choose colors that complement each other, making the overall look cohesive and visually appealing.

Patterns and Group Tips

My biggest tip for family portraits is that only one person gets to wear a pattern. Have you ever seen someone layer two patterns together? Like stripes and flowers in the same outfit. Or maybe polka dots and then a geometric pattern. The patterns clash and are distracting even if they are in the same color family. By limiting patterns to one person, you avoid visual chaos and ensure that everyone stands out in the best way possible. Check out Pinterest for some inspiration on how to combine textures and colors beautifully, without the distraction of clashing patterns.

With these tips, your fall family session is sure to be a stylish success! Take this as your time to shine! If you’re ready to book your Family Photos inquire today!
