Fall Maternity + Family Style Guide-What to Wear
From Suzanne Barber Images
​your trusted Frisco Texas Maternity Photographer

Fall in North Texas brings soft golden light, muted foliage, and a warm, cozy vibe—the perfect backdrop for capturing maternity and family portraits. As your Little Elm and Frisco Texas maternity photographer, I always encourage my clients to plan outfits thoughtfully so your session feels cohesive, timeless, and stress-free. Below is a client guide plus shopping links to recommended pieces.

1. Start with a Color Palette & Mood
  • Pick 4–6 complementary tones: rust, terracotta, mustard, olive, cream, taupe, muted teal, warm brown.
  • Let one piece (usually mom’s dress) be the focal color; let the rest of the family lean into neutrals, textures, or subtle echoes.
  • Steer clear of bright neons, bold logos, and overly busy prints (unless used sparingly).
  • Texture is your friend: think knits, gauze, lace, raw denim, suede, crochet details.

2. Mom’s Dress: The Anchor Piece
     Here’s what to look for:
  • A maxi or midi length (with side slits or flow) that moves beautifully.
  • Smocking, lace trim, or a defined waist to frame the silhouette.
  • Soft florals or boho prints (avoid giant, high-contrast prints).
  • Optional layering: a lightweight shawl, kimono, or a neutral cardigan.

3. Dad’s Outfit: Jeans or Khaki + Neutrals to complement mom’s look:
  • Bottoms: medium or dark wash jeans, or khaki / beige chinos.
  • Tops: cream, oatmeal, olive, chambray, or a soft plaid shirt. Keep it simple and avoid bold prints or logos.
  • Accessories / layering: a knit vest, textured sweater, or a casual jacket in taupe or tan.
  • Shoes: brown leather boots, desert boots, casual loafers.

4. Kids’ Outfits (Girl & Boy) Let’s keep the look sweet, cohesive, and not overdone.
  • Girl: a cream or soft blush knit sweater + a muted floral skirt or skinny corduroy pants. Add a simple cardigan or tights if it’s cool.
  • Boy: a knit romper, soft cable knit sweater suit, or a muted plaid shirt with beige pants.
  • Baby: If your little one will need to be held for all the pictures, it is a good idea to look for one-piece items like a romper that won't ride up or get bunched
  • Keep kids in solids or simple textures if mom’s dress is the print focus.
6. Tips for the Day of Session​
  • Have a spare neutral layer (cream cardi or scarf) for color balancing.
  • Try the outfits on ahead of time to be sure everything is a good fit.
  • Dress children in layers (easy to remove if warm).
  • Keep mom comfortable: avoid dresses that are too tight in the belly or that restrict sitting/posing.
