Why Spring is the Perfect Time for Family Photos (Even If You Always Book in the Fall!)

5 Reasons to Book a Spring Session

I get it—fall is the season for family photos. The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and everyone is gearing up for holiday cards. But hear me out… spring might just be the underrated gem of family photography! If you’ve always been a fall photo family, here are five reasons why you should consider mixing things up with a spring session this year.

🌸 1. Gorgeous Blooms & Lush Greenery

Spring brings some of the most breathtaking natural backdrops—think vibrant flowers, lush green fields, and fresh, sun-kissed landscapes. While fall gives us warm tones and cozy vibes, spring delivers soft pastels, dreamy blossoms, and an overall fresh, airy feel that looks incredible in photos. If you love a bright, cheerful aesthetic, spring is your season!

☀️ 2. Perfect Weather = Happy Kids (and Parents!)

Fall can be unpredictable—one weekend is crisp and cool, and the next, you’re sweating in a sweater. Spring, on the other hand, tends to hit that perfect in-between. The weather is mild, the sun stays out longer, and you won’t have to bundle up in layers or battle summer’s humidity. Plus, happy, comfortable kids = more natural smiles!

👗 3. Fresh, Light Wardrobe Options

Spring fashion is all about soft, flattering colors and easy, breezy outfits. Think flowy dresses, pastel tones, and light layers that photograph beautifully. No need to stress over coordinating bulky sweaters or jackets—spring outfits tend to be effortless, light, and oh-so-photogenic.

🌅 4. Golden Hour Magic (Without the Late Bedtimes!)

If you love that warm, glowy golden hour light, spring has a big advantage—the sun sets earlier than in summer, but later than in fall. That means you can capture those dreamy, backlit images without keeping little ones up past bedtime. It’s the perfect balance!

📅 5. A Less Hectic Season for Families

Let’s be real—fall is a mad dash between school starting, sports schedules, and the holiday season creeping up. Spring, on the other hand, tends to be a little less chaotic. You’re not worrying about school supply lists or last-minute holiday shopping, making it an ideal time to slow down and capture your family just as they are.

Spring sessions give you stunning, light-filled images with a fresh and airy feel—a totally different (but equally beautiful) vibe from fall! Plus, with schedules a little more open, it’s easier to book a date that works for your family.
