A couple months ago my friend and talented photographer Justine DiFede and I were talking and she said she thought it was funny how everyone always wanted family photos in the fall when everything was dying. She thought spring photos would be so much better. So true!! That got me thinking…Don’t get me wrong, fall family photos are always a favorite. The rich, deep colors of fall can seem unparalleled, and its perfect timing to send out an updated photo of the fam for holiday cards, but I really think people should consider switching to spring family photos.
This year in California, spring seems to have sprung a month early, and I have done some family shoots in the last couple weeks and I am obsessed with them! The green grass is vibrant, flowers are blooming. The sun feels so good, so everyone is happy to be outside.
Everyone isn’t all stressed out with all the holiday travel, present buying, wrapping and sending. You aren’t meal planning to have the entire family over to your house.
The last thing you feel like doing is getting everyone dressed and out the door to family photos!
My schedule isn’t packed to the brim so you have more choices for dates and times.
Everything in the air is fresh, new, and flowering.
It isn’t fire season.
It isn’t harvest.

The more I think about it, spring family photos really should really be the new fall family photos. Just sayin’.
***Side note: This beautiful family was supposed to do fall photos, but long story short, it got pushed to February, and I am not sad about it. I think it all worked out for the best. Look at how stunning they are!!
