1. First, It’s Giving “Time for That New Fall Wardrobe”
There you have it, another reason to shop! Let all the wives & mama’s say Amen! Haha… No seriously though, the layering of clothing not only keeps everyone warm, but adds a little more personality and interest into your photo. Adding a scarf, vest, hat, or even a pair of rubber boots can act as a simple way to bring in a pop of color or help tie everyone’s outfits together.
2. Fall’s Early Sunsets are
Perfect for Little Ones
As fall rolls in, those early sunsets are like a gift for families with young children. With daylight fading sooner, we can kick off photo sessions earlier than in the late spring or summer. If your kids are anything like mine, they start turning into GRUMPY sleepy pumpkins as the day stretches on. Scheduling your family photos during fall means you can bask in the beautiful golden hour light and still make it home in time for bedtime!
3. Leaf Piles: Fun for Everyone
Who can resist a playful leaf fight? As autumn deepens, the ground becomes a colorful canvas perfect for jumping into and tossing leaves around. Just look at those kids in the picture above—they’re clearly still enchanted by the joy of a good leaf toss! Your little ones (and maybe even you!) will have a blast playing in the leaves, making for lively and memorable photos.

from September through November, it tends to get a little crazy and hectic for photographers. That being said, it’s important to understan that these Fall family photoshoots book up pretty quickly. Hear me when I say that you DO NOT want to wait until the eleventh hour to invest in your family’s memories. You will undoubtedly want to kick yourself if you allow your choice photographer to become fully booked for the fall season.
As a wife and mama of two, I know all too well that money does not grow on trees or rain from the sky and just show up when it’s convenient. That is why I have made it a point that when you book your fall family photos with ScenebyTeah Photography, you only need to put down 20% of the package total to hold the date and time of your choosing; the remainder of the balance won’t be due until right before the shoot! With this option, you can book your desired time weeks in advance and ease the worry of missing out this season.
