🍂 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴

Once you've chosen your color palette, the goal is to create outfits that look good together without putting everyone in the same thing.

Here’s where I recommend starting:

𝟭. 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝟯–𝟰 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘀
This gives you enough variety to create a coordinated look without everything feeling too busy.

𝟮. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗼𝗺'𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗳𝗶𝘁
Choose something Mom feels comfortable and confident wearing, then build the rest of the family's outfits around it.

𝟯. 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿
Incorporate your base color into everyone's outfit, even if it's just a small detail. This helps tie the entire group together.

𝟰. 𝗔𝗱𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘀
Use the remaining colors throughout different outfits to add variety and personality.

𝟱. 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗳𝗶𝘁s
Instead of dressing siblings in the same shirt or outfit, choose coordinating pieces that still give each person their own look. Mixing colors, textures, patterns, and layers creates more visual interest.

𝟲. 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲s
The goal isn't to create perfectly matching outfits. It's to create a look that feels cohesive while still letting each person's personality and style show through.

Save this for the next time you're planning family photos! 🤍

If you've ever thought, “I'd love to have family photos, but I have no idea how my kids are going to act,” you're definitely not alone.

They don't have to sit still, smile on command, or cooperate every second.

They can move. They can play. They can laugh. They can need a break.

I'll guide you through the photos where we want everyone looking at the camera, but there's also plenty of room for your kids to just be themselves.

Some of my favorite images are the giggles, the cuddles, holding hands, or the moment your child runs back to you. You don't need perfectly behaved kids. Just show up as you are. 🤍

I want your family photos to feel less like a performance and more like time together.

🍂 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗶𝗽: 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀.

One of the easiest ways to make everyone's outfits look cohesive is to choose 𝟯–𝟰 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 rather than putting everyone in the same color.

For fall photos, I love warm neutrals, earthy greens, soft blues, rust, terracotta, burgundy, and creamy whites.

A simple formula:

𝟭. 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿
Colors like cream, tan, denim, or warm gray.

𝟮. 𝗔𝗱𝗱 𝟭–𝟮 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘀
Rust, olive, burgundy, dusty blue, or terracotta are beautiful fall choices.

𝟯. 𝗠𝗶𝘅 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲
Sweaters, denim, corduroy, layers, and knits add visual interest without everyone needing to "match."

And remember: 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘀. Your family should still look like yourselves. 🤍

Save this post for when you're putting together everyone's outfits!

🍂 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻?

One of the things I've intentionally focused on is making the process simple for busy families.

You don't need to have everything figured out before you book. Once your session is reserved, I'll help you with the rest.

Here's what you can expect:

→ Choose your date, AM or PM time, and location through my online scheduler
→ Complete your contract + deposit
→ Receive your Welcome Guide
→ Schedule a quick 15-minute discovery call so we can talk about your family and plan your session
→ Get your style guide and helpful updates as your session approaches
→ Show up and enjoy your family on session day 🍁

And if you're not sure which location is right for your family? 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘁𝗼𝗼. 𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

My goal is for you to always know what comes next without adding another complicated thing to your already-full calendar.

🍂 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝘆, 𝗢𝗵𝗶𝗼?

This is one of the first questions I hear when families start thinking about fall photos, and the answer isn't quite as simple as "mid-October."

The beautiful thing about fall is that each part of the season has something different to offer.

🌾 Late September: Golden fields & warm evening light
🍃 Early October: A mix of summer & fall
🍁 Mid–Late October: Peak fall color
🤎 Early November: Soft, earthy tones

Peak color is beautiful, but you don't have to wait for that one perfect week. And because October evenings and weekends are the most requested, waiting until the leaves start changing can mean fewer dates to choose from.

I've put together a complete guide to help you plan your fall family photos in Troy, from the best time to book to local locations, preparing your kids, weather, and what to expect during your session.

The tiny fingers wrapped around yours. The way older siblings peek into the crib with curiosity and excitement. The quiet moments in between feedings, snuggles, and simply getting to know the newest member of your family.

One of my favorite parts of newborn photography is slowing down enough to preserve the connection that already exists—not just between parents and their baby, but between siblings learning their new roles and a family growing together.
