One of the most common questions I get is: “When should we book our session?” And the answer? It depends on what feels right for your family! Each season brings its own unique beauty and practical considerations, so here are a few things to think about when picking the perfect time for your session:
1. Light & Weather
Lighting can make all the difference in your photos!
- Fall gives us golden, glowy evenings and crisp air.
- Spring brings soft, bright light and fresh blooms.
- Winter offers a clean, cozy feel, while summer is great for warm, sun-filled images (just keep the heat in mind if little ones are involved!).
2. Background & Colors
Think about the vibe you want in your images.
Do you picture wildflowers, rich fall tones, or neutral winter whites? Choosing the right season helps bring your vision to life through natural scenery and colors.
3. What You’ll Wear
Outfits often depend on the weather:
Cooler months are great for layering and adding texture, while warmer seasons are perfect for breezy dresses and light, flowy fabrics. Pick a season that complements your style and keeps everyone comfortable.
4. Your Family’s Schedule
Life can get busy!
School, sports, holidays, and travel all play a role in timing. Some families prefer to plan ahead for quieter seasons when things feel a bit less hectic.
