1. Choose Outfits That Fit the Fall Vibe

The right clothing can make a big difference. Soft textures and rich colors look amazing in fall light. Pair bolder pieces with neutrals for a polished, professional look.

Try these colors:

  • Mustard, olive, rust, deep red, cream, and camel
  • Neutral tones with a little warmth
  • Knits, layers, and cozy textures like corduroy or denim

Avoid:

  • Bright neons or patterns that clash
  • Large logos that distract from your faces
  • Overly casual pieces that don’t look put together

We don’t want everyone in matching outfits, unless that’s your thing. Instead, coordinate with complementary colors and with the season.

Prepare the Kids (and Yourselves!) for a Fun Time

Because mini sessions move quickly, getting everyone in the right mindset makes a big difference.

Before your session:

  • Let the kids know it’ll be short and fun, not a long, boring session
  • Make sure everyone is fed and rested
  • Bring a small treat or snack for after as a reward (or plan a fun dinner out!)
  • Keep things upbeat and relaxed

When parents stay calm and positive, kids usually do too. If you’re having fun, they will be more likely to follow your lead.

3. Pack a Mini Session Kit

Bringing a small bag with a few essentials can save you from unexpected hiccups.

What to pack:

  • Baby wipes (because someone always gets dirt on their face)
  • A small water bottle and easy snack
  • A comb or hairbrush
  • Optional: sentimental props like a blanket or heirloom

These small touches help everyone feel more comfortable — and it shows in the final gallery.
