Capturing Love and Connection in Every Layer

Fall is the perfect time to layer up in cozy, rich textures that not only keep you warm but also complement the vibrant, moody tones I love to capture. Below are some tips to help you and your family look effortlessly stylish while allowing the natural connections between you to shine through.

Color Palette Inspiration

This season is all about deep, bold colors that pop against the warm backdrop of autumn foliage. Stick to earthy tones that harmonize with nature while allowing your personality to shine.

• Deep Rust & Burgundy: Perfect for adding warmth and depth.

• Mustard & Burnt Orange: These shades bring a cozy, inviting feel.

• Sage Green & Olive: Subtle yet striking, these tones reflect the last hints of summer.

• Creams & Beiges: Great for balancing bolder shades and creating a neutral base.

• Charcoal & Navy: Adds a moody contrast to brighter colors, giving an elegant edge.

Textures & Fabrics

Layering is key for fall, and texture brings photos to life, enhancing depth in each image.

• Chunky Knit Sweaters: These photograph beautifully and add warmth.

• Corduroy & Velvet: Perfect for pants, overalls, or dresses—adding a rich texture.

• Flannels & Plaids: A fall staple that works great in small doses.

• Flowy Dresses & Skirts: For a feminine touch, pair with boots and a cozy cardigan.

Styling for Families

Coordinate without being too “matchy-matchy.” Choose complementary colors within the same palette, ensuring everyone’s outfits flow together while showcasing individual style.

• For Women: Try a flowing maxi dress in burnt orange or rust paired with a chunky sweater or shawl. Add ankle boots for a polished yet comfortable look.

• For Men: A button down shirt in rich, earthy tones layered under a corduroy jacket works perfectly. Pair with dark jeans or khakis.

• For Kids: Little ones in overalls, cable-knit sweaters, or floral dresses with knee-high socks will look adorable while keeping the mood natural and playful.

Accessories & Footwear

These small details can complete your look without overpowering it.

• Hats: Wide-brimmed hats or beanies in neutral tones.

• Scarves & Shawls: Add depth and texture without being too bulky.

• Boots: Ankle or knee-high boots for adults, and simple leather or suede shoes for kids.

What to Avoid

• Avoid overly bright colors (e.g., neons) or large logos that can detract from the natural setting.

• Too many patterns in one family can become visually overwhelming. Stick to one statement piece per person.
