When is the best season for your family photos?
Spring, summer or fall? That is the question : ) Here are some pros and cons of spring.
Beautiful weather and scenery
Beautiful blooming flowers, lush greenery, and mild weather. The bright and vibrant colors of spring make for a stunning backdrop for your family photos.
Longer days, more natural light
The longer days and mild weather of spring provide more natural lighting options for your photoshoot. You can take advantage of the soft, warm light in the early morning or late afternoon, which is more flattering than the harsh midday sun.
Comfortable clothing options
Spring weather is typically mild and comfortable, which means you have more flexibility when it comes to choosing clothing for your family photo session. You can choose light layers, flowy dresses, and lighter colors that complement the natural beauty of the season.
Flexibility in scheduling
Unlike the busy holiday season, spring is a less hectic time of year, which means you have more flexibility when it comes to scheduling your family photo session. You can choose a date that works best for your family without worrying about conflicting schedules or holiday commitments.
Some families book their annual session around the same time so they can schedule other things around it. Great idea to book ahead for summer and fall, as weekend spots are limited.
Opportunity for outdoor activities
Spring and summer offers many opportunities for fun and playful outdoor activities that can make your family photos more memorable. You can incorporate activities like running around, blowing bubbles, or playing with flowers into your photo session, creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere that will help your family feel more comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera without being self-conscious.
CONS - If you play spring sports, or have severe seasonal allergies (I am so sorry!), definitely avoid spring and book early for summer and fall.
