Hello there, lovely families! Fall is upon us, and it's the perfect season for family photoshoots at the gorgeous Kubota Gardens here in Seattle. I want to share some simple tips on how to choose the perfect outfit for your fall family photos.

1. Dressing cohesively is key

Now, this doesn't mean you all have to wear the same exact outfit. Instead, choose a color scheme that complements each other. Think of colors that are in the same family or ones that pair well together, like different shades of blue paired with neutral colors, or a mix of autumnal hues like burgundy, mustard yellow, and olive green.

2. Consider the beautiful backdrop of Kubota Gardens

The garden is a riot of colors during fall, so it's important to pick colors that won't clash with the scenery. Earth tones are always a safe bet as they blend seamlessly with the autumnal foliage. However, don't shy away from a pop of color! A vibrant scarf or a bright hat can add that extra oomph to your photos.

3. When it comes to kids, comfort is crucial

We want them to be at ease and happy during the photoshoot. So, opt for cozy knits, comfortable jeans or leggings, and shoes they can easily walk in. A little bit of pattern like plaid or floral can add a lovely touch to their outfits too.

4. For the adults, think layers

Not only do they add depth and interest to your outfit, but they also allow you to adjust to the often unpredictable fall weather. A nice sweater over a collared shirt, a chic long coat, or a fashionable hat can do wonders for your overall look.

5. Don't forget the accessories!

They add personality and can bring an outfit together. Think statement jewelry, cute hair clips for the little ones, or a stylish watch for dad.
