6 Reasons Summer is the Best Season for Family Pictures

What is the best season for family pictures?

Summer!

Follow me here: Without a doubt, a photographer's busiest season is fall. Those elusive 2-3 weeks, that change every year and are never 100% predictable, when the leaves turn to brilliant colors of golds and reds and oranges. Yes. Fall is a beautiful time for family pictures.

If you want those fall family pictures, you'll no doubt need to get in touch with a photographer by March or April. That's how fast those dates fill up.

BUT WHAT ABOUT SUMMER!? Specifically, mid-late July and early Augut, before school starts?

Specifically, right now.

Here are six reasons why I believe summer is the best season for family pictures.

1. Summer sunsets are MAGICAL PERFECTION and don't happen until 8pm or later.

2. Your family is in a nice, quiet lull, sun-kissed and rested from your recent vacation.

3. Organized sports are even at a standstill. Big sigh of relief.

4. Summer clothes are ON SALE, too, so pulling together a perfectly coordinated wardrobe is less expensive, and summer styles are often casual and easy-going.

5. Your kids aren't getting any younger.

6. Do you have kids leaving for college? (Enough said.)

I currently have openings available for weeknight family micro-sessions through the end of July. https://book.usesession.com/s/7nIwKnQW0P
