The Perfect Fall Family Photo Session: Stress-Free Planning with a Client Closet

Fall is a magical season for family photos, and I wanted to share one sessions from this past fall that got an A+ from the outfits to all the fun we had playing in the golden glow. The vibrant foliage, crisp air, and golden sunlight created a perfect backdrop for memories and let this family shine center stage for their photos.

However, all too often, planning what everyone will where can feel overwhelming. And let’s be honest, the planning usually falls on mom. The good news? There is an easy way to take the stress out of outfit planning -utilizing my Client Closet.

The Outfit Dilemma

Coordinating outfits for a family photo session can be stressful. You might wonder:

What colors work best?

How can I coordinate without looking too “match”?

Will everyone be comfortable while still looking their best?

This where the client closet comes to the rescue!

What is a Client Closet?

A client closet is a carefully curated collection of clothing and accessories offered by your photographer. It typically includes high-quality, photo-friendly pieces for women and children. In fact, Annie Dunigan Photography’s Client Closet includes over 70 women’s dresses and an assortment of earthy, neutral children’s pieces. At this time, I do not have any men’s clothes, but will make shopping suggestions. The outfits in the closet are chosen specifically for their timeless appeal, flattering fits, and are in palettes that look best with my editing style. The best part for you, the client, is if you book a Feels Like Home Package, the Client Closet use is included, saving your money on outfitting your family.

Benefits of Using a Client Closet:

  1. Takes the Stress out of Planning: The client closet eliminates the need for last-minute shopping trips or worrying about coordinating outfits. You can trust that the pieces provided photograph beautifully and fit the aesthetic of your session.
  2. Professional Styling Expertise: As a profession photographer, I understand what works best in front of a camera, from fabrics that flow to colors that pop (as well as what doesn’t work well!). I’ll help you choose outfits that align with your vision and my photography style as well as the season’s vibe.
  3. Saves Time & Money: Buying new outfits for every family member adds up quickly. A client closet saves you money while ensuring you still look stunning. Plus, it frees up your time to focus on preparing for your session instead of stressing. While I can’t guarantee that you won’t have to shop your own closet or purchase something for a member of the family, I’m happy to assist along the way.

If you don’t believe me, take a look thru this family’s gorgeous golden hour session. Mom and daughter were outfitted from my client closet. Dad and son’s outfits came from things the family had with a couple new shirts.
