Fall is the perfect time to get family photos done. The natural beauty of Arkansas really shines when the leaves begin to change.
Dressing your family for photos can be one of the most difficult parts of your session. You want everyone to coordinate, but does everyone have to wear the same color? No! It actually looks better when families pick color families to stay in!
The best news is almost every color photographs well, but it’s best to avoid stripes or overly busy fabrics, and neons can cast unwanted colors on skin tones. Stripes can cause strange wavy patterns that sometime appear, called moire.
Color Schemes
When choosing your color scheme think of two to three complimentary colors. Jewel tones, blush tones, fall colors, pastel, earthy, or woodsy are terms to take to Pinterest or Google to get better visualizations.
Accessorize
Adding accessories or touches to personalize the group photos to each individual adds more interest and showcases personality!
Location
Where you will take photos is important to consider when choosing your attire to ensure the photos are standing out rather than blending in. For instance a tall grass field in the fall may be very brown, and wearing a lot of tan will cause blending in.
Have fun!
The best thing about family photos is the main goal should be to document your family and love in that moment! It matters much less what everyone is wearing and more that this time is being preserved in a timeless form. Photos are always something to be thankful you have to look back on.
