👕 2. Styling – comfort and autumn colors

The autumn palette features warm shades of brown, beige, burgundy, and green.

Go for layers that are easy to put on and take off, and natural fabrics.

When preparing for a photo shoot in Krakow, choose clothes that complement the colors of nature and your skin tone.

☕ 3. Bring something that will add character

Warm tea in a thermos, a scarf, a hat or a book – small props can add a personal touch to photos and make the session even more natural and enjoyable.

🌅 4. Schedule a photo time

Autumn light is exceptionally soft, especially in the morning and just before sunset.

This is the so-called "golden hour," perfect for portraits.

Even the best-planned photoshoot requires a touch of spontaneity.

Trust your experienced photographer, who will advise you on posing, where to stand, and how to capture a natural smile.

This will ensure your photos are full of authenticity and emotion.
