As the leaves begin their vibrant transformation and the air turns crisp, all of your photographer friends are ready to celebrate with you. Fall isn't just a season; it's a photographer's playground, bursting with color, textures, and creating a big mood. Here’s a few of my favorite ways to play in the fall with clients that create authentic and genuine photos.

 
  1. Apple picking - Cute “you-pick” farms

Dive into fall fun at your local “U-pick” farm! Pick your own apples and soak in the vibrant colors as you and your family enjoy the fall season. Capture those candid moments of laughter and adventure while choosing the juiciest apples to take home. It’s the perfect backdrop for creating cherished memories and natural photos!

2. Pumpkin Patch

Celebrate the season of cozy love at the closest pumpkin patch, where every moment is a canvas for your story! Stroll hand in hand with your boo through a vibrant sea of pumpkins, perfect for capturing playful and romantic photos that showcase your unique bond. From picking the perfect gourd to enjoying hayrides and twirling in the autumn leaves, each experience embraces the joy of togetherness.

3. Picnic in the Park

Grab your favorite pizza and lay out a cozy blanket with your special someone! Enjoying each other's company can lead to some truly candid and stunning photos. Who says your fall photos have to be dull? Get creative, have fun, and let your personalities shine through in every shot!

4. Chasing Golden Hour

Chasing the golden hour with your love is an adventure you won’t want to miss! Whether you’re strolling along a sun-drenched beach, queerly frolicking through a field, or goofing around during a scenic car ride, that magical light will make everything feel extra special. As the sun dips low, grab your partner and strike a pose or capture those spontaneous giggles—these moments are pure gold!

5. Play in the Leaves

Embrace fall and create memorable photos by diving into a pile of leaves with the kiddos. Capture the excitement of laughter and playful moments as you toss leaves in the air or jump into the pile. Coordinate cozy outfits and use fun props to add your unique style. This results in stunning images and allows you to enjoy the simple pleasure of being outdoors with loved ones, making each shot a cherished memory of the season!

6. Get Cozy

Imagine snuggling under blankets in your backyard, surrounded by twinkling fairy lights, as you sip steaming mugs of hot cider or rich hot cocoa. Set the scene with seasonal decorations and capture candid shots of laughter and shared sips, all enhanced by the warm glow around you. Don’t forget to add fun elements like cozy scarves or cute mugs to reflect your personalities. Whether at home or out, these moments celebrate warmth and connection!

7. Have Fun!!

Get creative with costumes, whether you’re going for the classic spooky characters, genderbending interpretations, or DIY creations - choose the perfect autumn settings like pumpkin patches or colorful forests as your backdrop. Get ready to unleash the spirit of Halloween! This is your chance to bring your wildest ideas to life—so have fun with it!
