Hey there! Fall family photography season is upon us! I’m excited to announce that I’ll be holding mini sessions in Kure Beach, North Carolina this year! First time taking family beach photos? Are you a seasoned pro? Either way, choosing the right outfits can make all the difference in your final images. So, I’ve put together a style guide with inspiration and direct links to shop for four different family outfit pairings! Showing you exactly what to wear for your North Carolina fall beach mini session.

Once you’ve chosen your outfits, you can schedule your beach mini session with me, JCrane Photography, at Kure Beach below.

North Carolina’s Unpredictable Beach Weather

If there’s one thing we can all count on here in North Carolina, it’s how unpredictable the weather can be. Even more so as the seasons begin to change. Don’t worry, though! I’ve designed this style guide with comfort, affordability, and layering in mind. Each look is easy to adapt to the weather. Whether it’s a breezy day on the coast or a chilly fall morning, this guide has something for everyone.

I’ve selected outfits that allow for easy layering. Whether it’s a sweater over a sundress or a scarf paired with a button-down shirt. These pieces will ensure everyone stays comfortable and looks stylish, no matter the weather. However, for cooler days, I recommend bringing neutral-colored knit throws and light sweaters. Not only do they keep you warm, but they also add texture and depth to your photos. This will give them that cozy fall vibe. So, think soft greys, warm creams, and subtle earth tones—perfect for blending with the natural beach surroundings.

Each vision board below offers a complete family outfit pairing. Plus, I’ve added direct links to shop these pieces so you can recreate the look without any hassle!
