 Each year, nature puts on a brilliant show with the mesmerizing colors of autumn! And as a portrait & family photographer, there's nothing quite like capturing the beauty of fall foliage in all its vivacious glory, especially when encapsulating these lasting memories for families.

When you choose fall as the backdrop for your family photos, you're not just capturing a moment in time—you're creating timeless memories that will be cherished for generations. The colors, the atmosphere, and the natural beauty and the feel of the season will transport you back to that specific time in your family's journey – one that you will always remember!

From pumpkin patches and apple orchards to rustic barns and charming local parks, fall does not disappoint as it offers a plethora of stunning scenery to frame your family portraits. Whether you prefer the serene beauty of a forest trail, or the urban charm of a city park adorned with fall foliage, there's a location that perfectly captures the essence of your family.

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.

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.

( ^^That’s code for “right now” lol).

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.
