6 "Mommy & Me" Fall Photo Ideas

I’m one of those moms who takes waaaaay too many pictures of her kids. I can’t help it! They’re so cute, and I want to remember as much as I can from their childhoods. One thing I could take more photos of, however, is my children with me. I want them to be able to look back and see how I looked when I was younger (on those days when they need a good laugh). To see the way I looked at them with love, and how much fun we had together. That’s why I love the idea of taking “mommy & me” fall photos. Sure, you could take snapshots any time of year, but fall is so beautiful, and with its glorious colors, you’ve got the perfect backdrop.

If you’re a photo-fanatic mom like me, you’ll love these “mommy & me” fall photo ideas!

1. Matching Outfits

You don’t even have to be surrounded by trees or fall colors to get a cute shot of you and your mini me. Just wear coordinating outfits and spend the day twinsing around.

2. Apple Picking

If you’re hitting the apple orchard this fall, use it as a chance for a fall photo opp. Kids love feeling grown up by picking their own fruit, and the smiles that are sure to break out are definitely worth catching on camera!

3. Laying In Leaves

It might be a cliche, but it’s one that won’t ever get old. Laying in fall leaves is a must-have for a fall photo shoot. Lay down next to your child head to head, look up and smile. The combination of the fall colors and your adorable baby’s face will be so good, you’ll want to hang the photo on your wall!

4. Pumpkin Patch Fun

There is something about kids and pumpkins that is so cute. I love seeing their eyes light up when they’ve found the perfect pumpkin. What’s even more adorable? Seeing their eyes light up when they are with mama. Bring that camera to the pumpkin patch when you’re headed to find the pumpkin of your ‘lil pumpkin’s dreams!

5. Playing In Leaves

Besides laying in the leaves, another great shot for fall is playing in the leaves. Throwing them, crunching them, jumping in them, whatever tickles your fancy. I have yet to find a photo of a child playing in fall leaves without a smile on his face.

6. Peeking Behind A Tree

Kids love playing peekaboo because it’s silly and fun. For the same reason, they can’t help but smile when you play a game of “peek around the tree.” It might seem cheesy, but I think a photo of a mom and her child peeking around a tree is totally cute for fall! You could peek around and look at each other, or just smile for the camera. Either way, there is lots of fun to be had with this idea.

I'm a wife, mother and everything else associated with domestic life. I can often be found hiding from my kids to sneak treats (especially ice cream). I love rainbows and naps, and I find any excuse to go to Target. When I actually make it out of the house in real clothes, I document my outfits on my fashion blog, Leather & Lip Gloss. My love for fashion also inspired me to start my own comprehensive style website, The Style Spectrum.
