10 Awesome Autumn photoshoot ideas and outfits

First up , lets go through some of the things we will celebrate in Autumn, and the ways we can use this to in our autumn photoshoot ideas to try.

Autumn Photoshoot ideas for inspiration

1. The leaves are going to be changing colour and falling from the trees. This may seem like the most obvious one, but it really lends itself to some beautiful photos. You can go to one of the many wooded areas such as Utrechtse heuvelrug to experience the beauty of it, and the locations are generally free to use for your autumn photoshoot ideas. There are many ways you can use the leaves in a playful way with family shoots, children , even babies, that will create lasting memories of this special time. Think of playing in the leaves, throwing them in the air , running through them, lying down in them.
2. Its the time of harvest – think pumpkin patches and fields of wheat , all things that make for a good harvest, but also vineyards and other vegetables and fruits . You could have photos in one of these locations or you could gather a few props such as pumpkins and butternut, and other fruits and nuts to create an autumn backdrop .
3. Golden hour is particularly beautiful at this time of year , as the sun seems to catch the leaves turning colour and make them even more beautiful. It also brings a certain warmth and magic to your images, so be sure to make the most of this light.
4. In the Netherlands this is also the time of year that the Heide begins to bloom, normally between mid august and mid September. This is also a great opportunity for a unique photoshoot surrounded by a sea of purple flowers. So if you are looking for a different sort of setting then this one of the great autumn photoshoot ideas.
5. Autumn is also the time we celebrate Halloween , so be sure to check out the blogpost on Halloween and how you can celebrate this with a photoshoot!.

Now that we have outlined a few ideas for your autumn photoshoot, lets look at some of the outfits you can consider and what works really well with this type of shoot.

1. Warm colours in solid design such as yellow, orange and red are the best colours for an autumn feeling. If you are looking for some real inspiration for what to wear for your autumn photoshoot be sure to check out this pinterest collection
2. It tends tobe a little cooler around this time of year so chunky knit sweaters or scarves work really well to create a cozy effect.
3. using contrasting colours such as navy blue against the yellows and reds of the forest will also work well. But you can also use contrasting colours in your outfit instead.
4. If your shoot is outdoor then flat shoes or wellies are also great, both for the autumn aesthetic but also for the practicality of it, it can statistically be a wet season so its best to dress for the occasion.
5. Use solid colours rather than too many bold prints, especially for family photos, as too many patterns can be quite distracting. Solid colours blend and match more easily and are more pleasing to the eye.remember the focus is on you at the end of the day!
