This touch of magic will beautifully enhance the vibrant fall colors in your images, creating an atmosphere that’s both captivating and inviting. Not to worry though if your schedule doesn’t allow it. We have secret Colorado locations where we can catch those autumn vibes any time!

Shine in your Family Photos: Tips for Capturing Authentic Moments

Fall is all about coming together and cherishing those genuine connections. When we embark on your family photoshoot, we’ll guide you to create moments filled with interaction and authenticity. The magic lies in being your true selves. Our goal during your fall family photo sessions is to craft an atmosphere where each family member engages naturally, resulting in images that you’ll love forever. Families come in all forms, and we have a few helpful Colorado fall family photo tips for families with little ones and fur babies :

  • Schedule your session just after your little’s nap time so they are fresh and happy for your session.
  • Bring your little’s favorite toy, maybe a snack or two to help keep their attention
  • Bring a blanket for some sweet cozy family photos when the littles want some rest
  • If you are bringing your fur baby and don’t think they’ll want to be in all of the photos, bring a friend or family member to help hang out with the pup when they need some rest.

Infuse Playfulness: Tips for Capturing Lively Family Fall Portraits

Fall’s playful spirit is absolutely contagious, and our goal is to make sure your photos radiate that same joy. Imagine incorporating delightful fall-themed activities like tossing leaves into the air or cozying up with your kiddos on a warm blanket for some sweet photos. These activities do more than just add a touch of delight – they infuse your photoshoot with a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, ideal for capturing candid moments that truly reflect your family’s spirit. Movement is key to adding vibrancy, so we may encourage your family to take a leisurely stroll through fallen leaves or engage in playful interactions to showcase those moments. It’s the spontaneous, dynamic moments that come from these interactions that bring out the essence of your family and make for truly memorable photographs.

Dress the Part: Tips for Coordinating Autumn Family Outfits

When it’s time to select outfits, most opt for those cozy, earthy tones that beautifully blend with the autumn backdrop. The most important thing is to be yourself, and be comfortable! So if you love a bold color, don’t be shy, be you! Check out this helpful blog post on our site about what to wear for family photos. Also, think about the terrain we’ll be in. We are here to offer recommendations based on your location as well! We also recommend staying away from busy patterns, but we want your personality to shine. To achieve a well-balanced look, consider coordinating colors among your family members. The aim is to create a harmonious ensemble without making everyone look identical. For that extra touch of personal flair, consider adding accessories like scarves or hats. We also love a fun blanket moment, leaves an all!
