Why spring is a great time for family photos
FIVE REASONS WHY SPRING IS PERFECT FOR A FAMILY PHOTO SESSION
Is it time to get your family in front of the camera?
Do you question what month is best?
Here are five reasons why spring is so desirable and popular for familes and photographers alike.
— Reason number one —
The spring is such a pretty time of year
There’s no doubt that spring is a welcome change after the gray and wet winter months.
In the spring things are starting to bloom, the grass is green and everthing looks lush. The warmer temperatures invite us to be outisde.
Depending on where we go there is the option to have wild flowers or cherry blossoms as our backdrop.
— Reason number two —
The days are shorter in the spring than in the summer months.
Photo sessions take place about an hour to an hour and a half before sunset.
In the spring we can start earlier which is perfect for those with younger kids where bedtime is a concern.
The temperatures are cooler in the spring than in the summer. However, you can still embrace a summertime look with the clothing you choose.
And the light is gorgeous in the spring.
— Reason number three —
It’s a calmer time of year.
Many people choose a fall photo session which is great, but the fall is a busy time for many families. There is back to school, sports, adjusting to a new schedule not to mention the holidays, which are right around the corner.
You won’t feel the urgency of trying to squeeze your session in to get those holiday cards done on time.
— Reason number four —
You’ll have an easier time booking the date that works for you.
Fall is the busiest time of year for most photographers. Most have limited space as people book early and there are minimal dates to choose from.
In the spring you’ll have an easier time rescheduling in the event of illness or if something important comes up.
— Reason number five —
There are less people around.
Some locations get busy during that golden hour timeframe, especially in the summer and early fall months.
In the spring months it’s less likely that we will have to navigate around people.
Recap-
Why you should consider a springtime photo session with your family.
Spring is a pretty time of year with great light and lush greenery and flowers.
The days are shorter than summer which allows us to start earlier.
