Fall is the Perfect Time for Family Photos!

Why is Fall the Perfect Time for Family Photos?

​As fall approaches, we notice the air is just a little crisper in the mornings and the sun is setting a little earlier each night. Kids have started a new school year and there is a general excitement in the air for new beginnings. And, maybe you still have sun-kissed skin from enjoying time outdoors this summer. Now is the perfect time to think about getting updated family portraits. They are great for sending in annual holiday cards or as gifts to family members. 

Why Work with a Photographer?

You may be asking yourself, ‘why pay someone to take our family picture when we can do a selfie?’ So many reasons! Here are just a few reasons highlighting the benefits of working with a photographer:

1. Coordinate location and timing (outdoors, golden hour light, back-up location in case of rain, etc.)
2. Arrange groupings of the family for photos (entire family, parent, all kids, etc.)
3. Lighting – avoid harsh light or deep shadows on family members
4. Assist with recommendations for coordinating outfits (complimentary coloring and avoiding colors clashing)
5. You get to relax and enjoy the experience with your family!

What Does a Photo Session with Me Look Like?

So glad you asked! When I get an inquiry about a photoshoot, I like to schedule a call to ask some questions:

1. what is the goal of the shoot (immediate family photos, extended family, high school senior portrait, headshots for work, branding, etc.),
   1. do they have any specific groupings in mind for photos (must-haves)
2. what is the budget to determine which pricing package works for them or would a custom package make more sense for their needs, and
3. what day and time are they hoping to schedule and do they have flexibility?

 
After the initial call, I will prepare a contract to lock in the date and time for your shoot. If we need a follow-up call, we will schedule that a few days before the session. On the day of your shoot, I will meet you at the location and we will chat to get everyone comfortable and then start the fun!
 
Your photos will be sent to you in an online gallery about 2-3 weeks after our photoshoot together. They will be available for downloading and you will also have an option to order prints from a professional printing lab.

​So, Now What?
