As photographers, we know that wardrobe choices can make or break a session. The colors, textures, and tones that your clients wear influence everything from how your images edit to how cohesive your brand feels across your portfolio.
That’s why having a Fall Family Wardrobe Style Guide isn’t just helpful. It’s a business essential.
One of the biggest struggles clients face is knowing what to wear. Especially for fall family sessions when the color palette is rich, the temperatures change daily, and everyone wants that “effortless but polished” look.
Sound familiar….
“What should we wear?”
“Do these colors work?”
“Is this too casual?”
“Should we match?”
You want to help, but explaining your styling recommendations over and over takes so much time.
That’s exactly why I created my Fall Family Wardrobe Style Guide Template: a beautifully designed, 10-page Canva template that helps photographers elevate their client experience, maintain brand consistency, and save hours of back-and-forth communication.

Why Every Photographer Needs a Fall Style Guide
A Fall Family Wardrobe Style Guide is more than just a “what to wear” checklist. It’s a reflection of your brand’s professionalism.
When you provide a beautifully branded guide before your client session, you:
✨ Position yourself as the expert. Your clients instantly see you as a trusted professional who has thought through every detail.
✨ Create consistency across your portfolio. Outfits that photograph well ensure your work stays cohesive, which attracts more dream clients.
✨ Reduce client stress. They’ll show up feeling confident and prepared, which makes for smoother, stress free sessions.
✨ Save yourself time. Instead of typing the same styling tips, you can simply send your guide.
What’s Inside the Template
The Fall Family Wardrobe Style Guide Template is fully customizable in Canva. You can adjust fonts, colors, and drop in your own images to align with your brand in minutes.
Inside, you’ll find:
🍂 10 beautifully designed pages you can edit instantly
🎨 Pre-written copy for what to include on each page
👗 Curated fall color palettes that photograph beautifully
🧥 Outfit inspiration sections for moms, dads, and children
📸 Tips for coordinating without matching
✨ Room to add your own branding, tone, and session prep details

How I Use It in My Own Photography Business
I use this exact Fall Family Wardrobe Style Guide in my own studio to help my Fall family clients prepare for their sessions. It’s become a key piece of my client experience, every family receives it as soon as they book, and it sets the tone for a polished, luxury experience from the very start.
Not only has it reduced client questions dramatically, but it also ensures that every gallery reflects the warm, soft, cohesive look my brand is known for.
