The weather is crisp and cool and the great outdoors are full of color. This is one of the best times during the year to take outdoor family photos. Take advantage of the picturesque scenery and beauty all around and schedule a photoshoot to capture this moment in time with your family. Here are some ideas for photographers and families looking to book an autumn inspired family photoshoot.
What’s more fun than a trip to the pumpkin patch? Pumpkins are a cute prop for fall photos – adding the perfect burst of color. Try taking some candid photographs as the little ones pick their favorite pumpkin. Or, take some portraits with the whole family sitting amongst the bright colors.
This is a fun idea that will make for a great family photo you will cherish for years to come. Find an area in the family’s backyard or a park where fallen leaves can be raked up into a pile. On the count of three, have everyone throw some leaves into the air. The photographer will capture the inevitable joy on each family member’s face as the leaves float through the air.
Candid photos make for some of the best family photos. As a photographer, have the family take a walk through some beautiful autumn scenery (maybe a park or forest). Let them act naturally (no posing!) and capture what ensues. Most photographers will be able to capture the beautiful, naturally sweet moments that the family experiences.
Take in the beauty of the outdoors this time of year and roll around on the ground! Have the family lie on the ground – preferably sprinkled with pretty leaves – looking up towards the sky. The photographer will stand above the family, camera pointed down, providing a unique point of view for your family photograph.
Rainy autumn day? No problem! Put on your rain boots and hunt down the best puddles in Canada. This time, everyone is allowed to hop and splash all they want! This makes for a fun family experience and great photo opportunity. Act yourselves and have fun!
