Fall Family Sessions: Why This Season Is Perfect for Photos

I’ll just say it…fall might be my favorite time of year for family photos. 

The air has that crisp, cozy feel, the leaves are showing off with all their golds, reds, and oranges, and the light… oh, the light! October has this warm, golden glow that makes every single shot look like it belongs in a storybook.

The colors? Nature really goes all out this time of year. You don’t have to travel far… local parks, tree-lined streets, even your own backyard become stunning backdrops. Those rich tones make photos feel so warm and timeless.

The outfits? Fall is the season for sweaters, scarves, boots, and layers you actually want to wear. Plus, all that cozy clothing makes snuggling up in front of the camera feel natural (and keeps the little ones warm when we’re chasing those giggles).

The light? Golden hour in October is chef’s kiss. The sun sits lower, giving us that dreamy, soft glow that flatters everyone and makes colors pop without harsh shadows.

The timing? It’s perfect for holiday cards. Your photos will be ready with plenty of time to spare, no frantic last-minute printing needed.

​And honestly? Fall just feels like family. It’s apple cider, pumpkin patches, crunchy leaves, and that extra closeness that comes with the season. When we do your session in October, we’re bottling up all those warm, fuzzy feelings to look back on for years.
