Outdoor photo session
Are you planning an outdoor photo session?
Here are 7 good reasons you should choose to have your family photo session at an outdoor location. This will help you decide if an outdoor photoshoot is the right fit for you and your kids!
Because you can choose a location that is meaningful to you.
That coffee shop who serves the best ever hot chocolate? The small alley where your kid learned how to ride a bike? Or maybe that favorite park of yours where you had countless picnics and laughs? When you pick a spot with powerful meaning for your family, you create a heartfelt setting for your photo session.
You can go on a nice walk and enjoy outdoor activities.
It will feel familiar to you and your child, so that will help you get comfortable in front of the camera. When you engage in your favorite activities like playing ball or hide and seek, it feels natural. You get to do normal, everyday, fun stuff instead of awkward posing. You will smile because you’re having a good time, not because I ask you to!
You can enjoy the sunshine and the colors of the season.
Do you prefer picking up autumn leaves or spring flowers? We all have a favorite season (mine is the fall)! When your family photo session is held at an outdoor location, nature can be an incredible backdrop. You will cherish your pictures even more if they have that special magic only your favorite season brings.
Kids will have plenty of space to run around and scream at the top of their lungs.
Playful and spirited kiddos will love the opportunity to release some of that energy, and you can unwind from that long week at work. Outdoor family sessions are perfect to get everyone in a relaxed mood. They offer plenty of space and that fresh air will feel so nice.
It’s perfect if your home sweet home is tiny.
In home photo sessions are wonderful, but maybe it’s just not the right fit for you. If you feel you would be more comfortable outside, then by all means pick a location you love and off you go! When you book your session, I will take the time to discuss locations with you.
You can enjoy golden hour!
The glorious golden sunlight at sunrise or sunset makes for pretty epic photographs, if you ask me. I love it dearly and have many times arranged for golden hour sessions with my own kids.
If you would like your outdoor photo session to be held at golden hour, let me know and I will do my best to make it happen!
Your kids will love the memories of that family day out.
When you capture a family adventure, you gift them with all the memories to cherish one day. Your children will be able to feel everything from that day again: the fun, the love, how it felt to be carefree. Oh to be a child again for a few moments, that is indeed a sweet feeling.
