I photographed this family of three at home when their daughter was first born, but with the gorgeous fall weather in Charlottesville, we decided to meet at a park down the road from their house instead. They often come here to play or walk their dog, and it felt like the perfect way to celebrate both the season and their daughter’s one year milestone.
It’s true that in-home sessions have my heart, but whenever we do choose an outdoor session, it’s because it feels like the best fit for the family. My goal is to make photos feel homey in any outdoor location.
The best timing for outdoor fall photos in Charlottesville
The best time for outdoor fall photos in Charlottesville is between the middle of October and the middle of November. This tends to be the perfect window for those classic fall colors. Also, I’ve found that temps are just cool enough for fall wardrobe without being too cold for little ones to comfortably play outside.
We got lucky with the perfect weather for this fall session and the blue skies mixed with autumn leaves did not disappoint. But in my opinion, the background is the least important part of your session. The people should always steal the show!
Enjoy a few favorites from this and playful fall family session.
