Now’s the Ideal Time to Plan Your Family Portrait!

In a time where cell phone pictures and selfies are the norm, it’s easy to go for long periods of time before realizing you don’t have any recent photographs of the whole family! If it’s been a while since your last family photo shoot, autumn is a great time for it — fall foliage provides the perfect backdrop for a family portrait. Whether you hire a professional or just bring your own camera and tripod, getting the family together will be a fun and memorable time. And beyond family portraits, capture some of those fun, less-formal memories too! Get pictures of your kids taking turns jumping into giant piles of leaves, or tossing handfuls of leaves up into the air. These will create great, dynamic photos and awesome memories! For getting those autumn group pictures just right, aim for taking them a little later in the afternoon and right before the sun starts setting. The soft, golden light around that time will bring out the brilliant reds and golds in your photos. The light is also less harsh since it isn’t directly overhead. Most importantly, make sure to have fun! The experience itself should be part of the memories you’re capturing.
