Plan Your Fall Family Pictures

Fall is one of the prettiest times of the year for updated family pictures. Soft seasonal colors, cooler weather and beautiful outdoor settings make the perfect backdrop.

When planning what to wear, choose coordinating colors instead of putting everyone in identical outfits. Cream, camel, soft blue, sage, burgundy and navy photograph beautifully together. Begin with the children’s outfits and use those colors to guide what the rest of the family wears.

For children who need to be the best dressed in every family photo, Sophie & Lucas, Luli & Me, and Bailey Boys/J. Bailey offer timeless styles with beautiful details and a polished look.

Visit a Pumpkin Patch

A trip to the pumpkin patch is a fall tradition everyone can enjoy. Let each child choose a pumpkin, take plenty of pictures and bring your favorites home for an afternoon of decorating.

Painting pumpkins is an easy alternative to carving, especially for younger children. Set out washable paint, brushes, stickers and a few simple embellishments, then let everyone create their own masterpiece.
