What to Wear for Fall Family Photos Near the Rockies

Family photos near Denver, Colorado, and the surrounding Rockies offer some of the most stunning fall landscapes, with vibrant autumn leaves and golden fields. This provides the perfect backdrop for your family photos. But what should you wear during your family photos? The crisp fall air makes layering essential. Both to stay comfortable and also to create a stylish, cohesive look for your session. As a Colorado-based photographer with experience capturing the beauty of fall here are my top tips on how to dress for your family photo session in Denver.

How to Dress for Fall Family Photos in Denver

Fall in Colorado brings cool mornings and evenings but the afternoons can be warm. Dressing in layers is certainly key to staying comfortable throughout your session. For a family photo shoot near Denver, I recommend pairing rich, warm tones with classic layers but make sure to focus on colors. Think long-sleeved dresses, cozy cardigans, and stylish jackets. For kids, add base layers like undershirts and leggings to keep them warm without adding too much bulk. Boots and closed-toe shoes are a must for walking through fields or along trails. Accessories like scarves, hats, and blankets can add texture and warmth, plus they look great in photos!

Creating a Cohesive Look with Fall Textures and Colors

Fall is the perfect season to play with textures and rich colors. Layering wool, flannel, and knits adds depth to your outfits and contrasts beautifully with the changing leaves. Consider earthy tones like rust, mustard, olive green, and burgundy to complement the golden hues of autumn. Another key point is to add pops of color, deep jewel tones like sapphire or plum work well against the warm fall backdrop. Mixing textures like a knit sweater with a soft scarf or a leather jacket with a cozy shawl creates visual interest while keeping your outfits practical for the season in Denver.
