As a lifestyle photographer, fall photoshoots are some of my favorites. There’s just something special about the golden light, the crisp air, and the beautiful colors that create the perfect backdrop for timeless photos. After years of helping families, couples, and individuals style their sessions, I’m excited to share some tips on one of my most beloved fall color palettes: Pumpkin Spice. This palette mixes rich tones of burnt oranges, maroons, mustard yellows, and soft creams, creating a bold, cozy vibe perfect for the season. Below, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite clothing pieces for women, men, kids, and even your pups to help you plan your perfect Pumpkin Spice-inspired fall outfits!
