As fall arrives, it’s time for autumn leaves, pumpkin patches, Halloween and family photos.  Fall is a perfect time for capturing photos of your family and here is a list of our top 8 reasons to do fall family portraits.

1. Fall colors make for beautiful photos
I think most would agree that autumn is one of the most beautiful times of year. The vibrant colors of changing leaves mixed with the warm tones of the trees losing them is a wonder to be seen and to photograph.  This is what makes awesome fall family photos.

2. Neutral tones fit perfectly with almost any home décor
Does your house have a neutral color palette or does it boast an array of bright hues? Either way the earthy colors of fall will showcase your amazing family portraits perfectly on any color of walls. Whether the cool shades of a brisket autumn sky or the warmth of orange pumpkins, red leaves and brown trees the possibilities are endless.

3. Autumn temperatures tend to be more comfortable
It’s the best time of year to take advantage of cooler days that won’t make you look like a human popsicle or a sweaty mess. Another added bonus, if you are included any elderly family members, you won’t have to worry about heat exhaustion.  Cooler temps equal cool family pics!

4. You’re still looking nice and bronzed from the summer sun
Being able to take advantage of looking sun-kissed in your pictures but not having to swelter in the heat is awesome! A little glow goes a long way.

5. Easier to coordinate clothing with earth tone settings
As mentioned previously in regards to the hues in your home, it is very easy to find colors that look great in fall scenery. Sometimes people have a difficult time trying to coordinate attire that fit just right with the bright greens of the summer, during the autumn months you have so many more options for perfect family picture outfits.

6. You have more accessories to work with
More often than not, family photography sessions have a particular color scheme that they are trying to work within to ensure they coordinate with one another. With the cooler autumn temperatures you have the ability to use more layers and accessories . This give each person more choices of what they want to use as their staple piece that ties them into everyone else while still allowing them to show off their individual style.

7. It’s perfect timing for planning holiday cards and gifts
