🍂 Choose a Color Palette That Fits the Season


Start by picking two or three core colors that reflect fall’s warmth. A mix of neutrals and soft seasonal tones always photographs beautifully.


My favorite fall palettes:

Cream, camel, and forest green

Rust, mustard, and warm taupe

Navy, blush, and olive

Charcoal, burgundy, and ivory


Once you pick your palette, mix in different textures (like knits, corduroy, or linen) to add depth.


Photographer tip: If your shoot is outdoors surrounded by golden leaves, skip wearing bright orange — it can blend too much with the background. Go for muted rusts or warm neutrals instead.
