Why Fall Is the Best Time for Family Portraits

If you've been meaning to update your family portraits, autumn is the season to do it. Here's why fall consistently gives us our warmest, most timeless family images — and why our calendar fills up so quickly.

The light is simply better

As the sun sits lower in the sky, afternoon light turns soft and golden — the flattering, glowing quality photographers chase all year. It wraps around faces beautifully and forgives a lot, which means more keepers and fewer squints.

The colors do half the work

Warm reds, ambers, and golds make a naturally gorgeous backdrop, and they pair perfectly with the cozy, earthy outfits that photograph so well. You get rich, magazine-worthy color without any special effort.

Golden light plus golden leaves is a combination that never goes out of style.

The weather is finally comfortable

Crisp, mild afternoons mean no one's sweating through their outfit or shivering. Comfortable families relax, and relaxed families give us real smiles and genuine connection.

You'll be ready for the holidays

A fall session means your holiday cards, gifts, and wall prints are handled well before December's rush. Order early and your prints arrive with time to spare.

Tips for a great fall session

Whether it's a park full of color or our cozy studio, fall is the moment to capture your family exactly as they are this year.
