Pointers for Fall Photo Sessions

8/23/2018

0 Comments

 
In an earlier blog I wrote about picking outfits for family photo sessions.
In this blog I'm going zero in on fall photo sessions--while this blog will focus mostly on family and engagement sessions this advice will apply to all photo sessions that take advantage of falls glorious colors and backgrounds.

Think about colors to wear keeping the background in mind.

Pick color themes that stand out against your background. If the trees are still yellow/green then blues & reds can be a nice choice.
If the pumpkin patch is on your agenda think about outfits that’ll stand out against big blue or gray skies & orange or white pumpkins.
If you are headed to a corn maze you'll want to think about
You want to make the focus you not background.

Think about your props

Benfield Photography does a great job using pumpkins as props in his photos.

Props can add extra character to your pictures.
Pumpkins
Ears of Corn
Plaid Blankets
Leaves
Playing with props likes these add interest and depth to your photos.

Interacting with your background

  • Corn Fields
  • Flower Fields
  • Wooded Areas 
All of these make for great backgrounds in the fall. Don't be afraid to interact with your background. Interaction with your​ background makes for more dynamic photos.

Like you see in this photo by Amanda Abel of Amanda Abel Photography being a part of your background makes for some amazing shots.

All in all fall is an amazing time for photography of all kinds and I encourage everyone to get out and take advantage of the fantastic opportunities this time of year provides.
