Fall Mini Sessions at the Conway Riverwalk – What to Wear When It’s Still Warm?

Fall is here, and I’m so excited to announce my Fall Mini Sessions at the Conway Riverwalk! 🍂 YAY! It is that time again! This is one of the most beautiful locations in Conway, SC, with the charm of the Waccamaw River, wooden docks, and tree-lined paths. It’s the perfect backdrop for families, couples, and kids who want timeless fall portraits

But here’s the catch

it’s still 80 degrees in South Carolina! So, how do you dress for fall photos without melting?

Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

Outfit Tips for Fall Mini Sessions (When It’s Hot!)

1. Focus on Fall Colors

Skip the heavy sweaters and go straight for the color palette. Deep reds, burnt orange, mustard, olive green, cream, and navy look beautiful in photos and instantly say “fall” without the layers.

2. Lightweight Layers for Variety

Bring a denim jacket, a thin cardigan, or a lightweight scarf you can throw on for a few shots. They’ll give you that cozy fall look while keeping you comfortable.

3. Choose Breathable Fabrics

Cotton, linen, or light knits work great. For women, think flowy dresses, skirts, or jumpsuits in autumn shades. For men, go with a button-down or henley in a fall tone.

4. Kids’ Outfits Made Easy

Keep it simple with cotton dresses, rompers, or shorts in earthy colors. Add a cute bow, suspenders, or boots to tie in the fall look without making them too warm.

5. Use Accessories to Set the Mood

Wide-brim hats, ankle boots, and gold-toned jewelry can pull together a fall look without heavy clothing. These little details add so much to your photos!


Why? The Conway Riverwalk when we have the beach?

I know what you’re thinking—“We live by the beach… shouldn’t we do our photos there?” And yes, the beach is beautiful (and always a favorite of mine too), but the Conway Riverwalk has a totally different charm that makes fall photos magical:

Small-town cozy vibes

With brick paths, wooden boardwalks, and the Waccamaw River in the background, the Riverwalk feels timeless and warm … perfect for autumn.

Golden light + shady spots

The trees filter that golden sunset glow, giving us soft, dreamy light (and a break from the harsh sun + wind you often get at the beach).

It actually looks like fall!

Even when it’s 80 degrees, the Riverwalk has greenery, rustic textures, and tones that match perfectly with fall outfits. You get autumn vibes without melting in a sweater.

Peaceful & less crowded

The beach is usually busy, especially during golden hour. At the Riverwalk, you’ll have space to relax and focus on just your family, without strangers in the background.

Variety in one spot

From the bridges to the river to the tree-lined paths, we can get several different backdrops without having to move locations.

So while the beach is great for summer vibes, the Conway Riverwalk is the perfect spot for cozy fall mini sessions.


“Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to watch moments fall into place.”
