Top 6 reasons why you should invest in an autumn family photo shoot
Children and family photographer in Northamptonshire
Are you thinking of booking a professional photography session? Maybe you’d like some high-quality images of your children and family to display in your home?
With autumn just around the corner, here are my top 6 reasons as to why you should consider investing in a professional children and family photo shoot in the autumn.
The colours make for the most stunning portraits
The autumn palette is warm, rich, earthy and vibrant, and stretches from leaf greens to old gold. It goes without saying, autumn is a beautiful time of year. These colours set the tones of any photographic image, so if you are looking for a stunning golden, earthy glow in your images, autumn is the time to book a photo shoot and capture the beauty of mother nature.
The colours don’t last long
The beginning of autumn is the best time to have a professional outdoor children and family photo shoot, before the ground gets too wet and boggy. As we transition from summer to winter, don’t miss out on this golden opportunity to take the best photos that your family can enjoy and cherish for years to come.
Playing in the leaves
Autumn is the best time to have some fun and for the family to let their hair down. That includes jumping into large piles of leaves, throwing them in the air or even better, having a leaf-throwing fight. These moments also make for the most epic family and children photos that can be displayed in your home to cherish for years to come.
The weather is perfect
Contrarily to belief, the sunshine is not in our favor when having a professional photo shoot. During autumn, the weather tends to be cooler and more overcast, which allows for softer, defused light which falls evenly over the scene, as opposed to sunshine which creates harsh shadows. Not only that, as the weather is cooler the chance of getting sweaty and hot is reduced. Always a win when having professional photos taken!
Autumn clothing adds depth and dimension to images
Pinterest is full of autumnal clothing ideas for the whole family. Adding layers, hat and scarves can really add dimension and depth to professional photos. These images will hopefully grace the walls of your home for years to come, and thankfully autumn makes it so much easier to choose the colours of your clothing too - from earthy browns to rich oranges. Create a mood board on Pinterest with your favourite outfits and just have some fun!
Shine in golden hour
Golden hour finally becomes child friendly! As the darker morning and evenings draw in, the bonus of this is that the beautiful light that you get just before sun set is much earlier in the evening. This means we can easily squeeze in a family shoot after school but before dinner. Winner!
