10 Fall Family Photo Ideas You Need to Try This Year

10 Fall Family Photo Ideas You Need to Try This Year

With autumn fast approaching, many families are busy planning their fall photo sessions. There are so many beautiful backdrops and colors to take advantage of as you make memories with the people you love. If you’re planning your own shoot and are hunting for some inspiration, here are a few ideas to get you started.

1. Play in the leaves

If this is your first fall family session, you simply have to get a few photos of you and your kids playing and lying in the leaves. Not only are the colors incredible, but these shots instantly portray cheer and joy. 

2. Sit amongst the pumpkins

When you see pumpkins, it’s only natural to think about fall. Whether you have a pumpkin field near to your home or you buy a few for your shoot, this is definitely a prop you should consider for your family session.

3. Pick some apples

If you happen to be close to an apple orchard, this is a perfect setting for your family photo session. The colors are striking and picking a few apples will help your photographer grab some candid shots. You can achieve something similar with a cornfield too. 

4. Create shadows

If you want to give your photos a dramatic effect, schedule your session for later in the day. This allows your photographer to use the colors of the setting sun and a fall backdrop to play with shadows. Picture the silhouettes of your family against a beautiful, natural backdrop. 

5. Play in the park

If fall is starting to take its toll on the trees in your local park, why not use it for your family photo session? There are so many elements in a park that work well in family photos. From the falling leaves to swings and lakes, it’s no wonder this is a firm location favorite. 

6. Bring in Halloween

If you and your children are big fans of Halloween, you could always use it as a theme for your upcoming fall session. Whether you want to dress up or add in a few props to bring the theme across, the choice is yours. 

7. Get cozy

Sometimes, something as simple as a blanket can create the perfect family photos. Find a cozy blanket for your session and let your photographer get a few shots of you and your loved ones laughing and keeping warm.

8. Head to the train tracks 

If you happen to live near train tracks that are no longer active, this is an ideal setting for your next fall family photo session. Chances are, the tracks will be surrounded by colorful leaves and trees, with the actual tracks adding a rustic finishing touch. 

9. Pose on some steps

Stairs are always great for family shots because they make it easier to get close and accommodate people of all sizes. To give it a fall look and feel, find a set of stairs that are covered in autumn leaves.

10. Drink up

Nothing says fall like warm cider or cocoa, so why not incorporate it into your session? This is a particularly nice idea if you choose to have your shoot at home. Make and drink some cocoa with your loved ones for great candid shots. 

If you’re new to the area and need some help finding a location for your fall family session, I’d be happy to speak to you about a few ideas.

We booked a session with Emanuel for our maternity pictures. From beginning to end, he was not only pleasant and engaging but also thoughtful, professional, and artistic with his approach. The session was time-efficient, and he brought out the best in our camera faces. We love the way the pictures turned out, and fully intend to use his services in the future!
We had a mini photo session today with Emanuel and it was wonderful! The kids had so much fun and as we were walking away they asked when we could do it again! I’m sure the pictures will be wonderful!
We booked a mini session with Emmanuel and he did an amazing job from start to finish. We are a family of 5 and it's hard to get one good shot of all of us. He not only got one but several! He was very accommodating to my requests and very easy to work with! I have pictures that I will cherish forever! He was also very responsive to all my questions before and after my sessions!
Emanuel cares about the quality of his work and is efficient, creative, professional and detail-orientated. Very accommodating and patient with young kids. We love how our photos came out. 😊Highly recommended!
Emanuel is a perfectionist! His eye for details to make sure all shots are perfect is a wonderful quality. I have been using Emanuel for years. The success from our listings in days starts with the pics. The market is beginning to shift and marketing has become more important over the last few weeks. The quality of his pictures is amazing and his menu of services to enhance the listing are great! Emanuel walks through the home with me to make sure we are set for all angles of pictures
We needed exterior photos on a quick basis for a very custom home and Emanuel did an awesome job for us. The curb appeal, pool and grounds looked great! Thanks again.
I want to personally thank you for the beautiful photographs that you prepared for our client. Your professionalism and keen eye for the right prospective was well noted by all interested buyers.So you know the seller had an immediate offer well above asking. I know the photos were clearly the draw to the property.Angela
Quick, helpful, communicative and professional.
Emanuel was professional, courteous and timely. I called Emanuel on a Thursday for an on location photo shoot and had my pictures the days later. His photography turned out great and was patient and helpful in getting the perfect photos I wanted. I would recommend him to all my clients and colleagues.
Does such a fantastic job. The pictures are the best
Emanuel was great to work with. He took many photos and often spent more time on details that made the photos all the more interesting.I am sure it was the photos- our home sold in 15 mins!!We would highly recommend Emanuel for photography work.
Absolutely excellent experience with Emanuel. The photos of our listing came out beautifully with such attention to detail. He even threw in a fire in the fireplace! The clarity was outstanding. Would highly recommend!
Emanuel is just fantastic! He was cordial, professional, punctual, very communicative and gave appointment within one day. Photos came very beautiful and this is definitely a great listing. It's really worth of what you paid. Highly recommended!!!
UPDATE 4/17/21: In no small part, because of the quality and quantity of Emanuel's photographs, we sold our home 4 hours after we listed it...for $32,000 above our listing price. The woman who recommended we use a professional photographer saw Emanuel's photos said, "You have twice as many photos as anyone else, and the photos do not distort the size of the rooms." I believe Emanuel's photos made the difference between an average listing and a great listing.Original Review: Emanuel Mozes Photography services are worth double the price! Need I say more?When I began researching professionals to photograph our home, I stopped looking as soon as I found Emanuel Mozes Photography. First of all, a non-responsive photographer is no photographer at all. Emanuel can never be called unresponsive because was on top of all my communications. He was not pushy or overbearing. He allowed his services and pricing to speak for themselves. I was convinced we had found the right photographer after seeing some of Emanuel's work. But! when I saw the long list of services he includes in his photography package, considering any other photographer became unnecessary.Interestingly, the photographs are only part of the bigger marketing package Emanuel provides. For us, it all started with the wealth of information Emanuel gave us in order to get our home ready to be photographed. Then, after meeting Emanuel (he was on time and did not rush the job) and seeing him in action, we knew we had made the right choice for our photos.The turn-around time for getting the finished photos was super fast. And, the photos look GREAT! Now, its time to put the rest of Emanuel's marketing program into play. So, when asked what we like about Emanuel Mozes Photography, Emanuel has made it easy to say, "We like EVERYTHING!"A Note to Real Estate Agents in the Philly/Jersey area: If you are not using Emanuel Mozes Photography for all your clients, you are wasting your money.
I had a wonderful experience with Emanuel Mozes Photography. Emanuel photographed my home and the photos he captured were beautiful! My sister said the images should be in a magazine. Emanuel is kind, professional, responsive, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him for any real estate photography needs.
Professional and detail oriented. Emanuel is sharp and no nonsense. He understands what the client needs and works to get them the shots they desire. Not to mention, he is a nice guy!
Emanuel just did a photo shoot of my townhome. He made the whole process easy & efficient & I ended up with a great set of photos of my home. I always loved its look, but Emanuel's photos made my home look even more classy & beautiful. Thanks Emanuel!
Great job the pictures for 14 Heritage Hill Drive were fabulous and I sold the listing in 1 day!
Emanuel is a pleasure to work with. He is a professional. The pictures speak for themselves. I highly recommend Mozes Photography! Thank you Emanuel for an amazing job on my recent listing!

I’m very happy with the photos he did a fantastic job. He was reasonably priced and worked fast, can’t beat that. I would definitely recommend him to others.
I recently used Mozes Photography for a listing in Mount Laurel. The photos are spectacular! Emanuel was professional, thoughtful, and helpful. He has a great eye and excellent technique. I will definitely use him again and have already referred him to several agents in my office. Great Experience!!!
I worked with Emanuel on two listings in the past week. Pictures look great and he was a pleasure to work with. He returns calls and emails, almost immediately, arrived timely for our appointment and had photos to us in no time at all. I look forward to working together in the future!
This was the first time I used Emanuel to photograph one of my listings and he was professional and very easy to work with. The pictures look great and my sellers couldn't believe it was the same home they grew up in! Thank you!
If your in the market to sell your house, do your self a favor and hire Emanuel to photograph your house. You won't be disappointed. I was blown away by the beauty and stunning colors that appeared in all the photographs. My house looked like a showcase home and I know this will absolutely help to sell my house. Emanuel is a true professional and perfectionist and will help you stage your house perfectly.
Mozes did an excellent job with the photos on my property. Very easy to deal with and coordination was a breeze. He knows how to capture just the right angles and make your property shine. Thanks again!! Will absolutely use him on the next one.
Hey real estate friends, to keep this real simple, Emanuel Mozes is a top-notch professional photographer who out of the gate takes control and has an eye for detail. Do you want to sell your clients home or let it sit on the market and let your lawn sign rust? You will not be disappointed with Mozes Photography. You can take that and your commission to the bank!
Emanuel is the best. Very professional and courteous and VERY good with that camera. Thanks for the great pics!
Emanuel has photographed a few of my properties and I have been delighted for his attention to details. Especially helping to stage the property in the best light. Emanuel is a perfectionist and I highly recommend his photographing services to my peers!
Super professional, punctual, and talented. Loved the photos!
My sellers were so pleased with the pictures. The on line traffic and showing traffic has been good this one should be under contract soon.
Emanuel was great to work with. His photos were amazing. He is very professional and courteous. The program he sets up makes uploading the photos to Trend a breeze. I would highly recommend him to any realtor. I intend to use him again for future listings.
The best tool you can have to promote your listings!! Great pics...thank you Emanuel.
Had a recent opportunity to work with Emanuel on a new listing I have. He was professional, took beautiful photos- in fact so many great photos that it was difficult to choose which ones to include in my listing. Many thanks!
I have been more then satisfied with the artistic services of Mozes Photography, from the Photographer to the design and the finished product, Our project for the American Rally Cross was in detail and time sensitive and Mozes Photography was Professional in every way, satisfaction his work created the Buzz we needed. Thank you for all the hard work, you are Number on on our list. Gary AmRC and the V8 Rally Ranger Team

How to Make Your Next Family Photo Session a Stress Free One

How to Make Your Next Family Photo Session a Stress Free One

Family photos are truly timeless and such a great keepsake for future generations.  Getting the family together to take those perfect portraits can turn into chaos if not approached correctly. There is usually a lot more to consider when it comes to a family photoshoot since there are members of all ages, which means that there is some extra coordination involved.

Below are some family photoshoot ideas and tips to keep you and your loved ones calm and smiling the whole way through.

  • Timing is everything. If you have younger children involved in the shoot, try and arrange the photoshoot at a time when they would be well rested. A rested child makes for happy photos. On that note, make sure that all family members have gotten enough sleep the night before as this helps with the fun and relaxation aspects of the session.
  • Dos and don’ts of bribery. Get your family excited about the photoshoot instead of offering a reward in return for their cooperation. This tends to lead to forced smiles and an irritated bunch of people. If you do have small children coming along it’s not a bad idea to give the photographer some bribery options in the form of toys or small food items to make those difficult moments a little easier.
  • Relinquish control. As much as you’ll want to direct your children on where to stand and how to pose, it’s best to leave that to the photographer as they know what works best. Not having this pressure will also make you feel more relaxed 
  • It’s not just about the posing. The best photos happen when you’re having fun so joke and play with your children, hold your partner’s hand and just let the moments happen.
  • Plan ahead. Discuss all of your requirements with your photographer beforehand so that the family photo session can just flow. Let your photographer know if you want specific pictures taken.
  • Keep those sugar levels up. If everyone is well fed, the photoshoot will also run a lot smoother. It’s also not a bad idea to take a few snacks and some water along for those who might need it

Enjoy capturing your memories.

Unique Photo Session Ideas You’ll Love

There is nothing quite like capturing memories with your loved ones. Are you someone who enjoys taking beautiful pictures of you and your family?  Then you are probably always on the lookout for inspiration for your next photo session. Below are some unique photo ideas that we think you’ll love.

  • Family history. Are you a fan of the photos that your grandparents or even great grandparents have taken? Why not replicate them yourself? All it takes is a bit of editing and you can achieve the same look and feel.
  • First and last day of school. For the first day of school, get some fun pictures of your child getting ready. You can then do the same on the day that they graduate from high school so that you can create an amazing “before and after” picture. You can even choose to add on college photos later.
  • Generational photos. Photos are one of those items that are passed down through generations so why not create one that future family members can treasure. Take a photo with your daughter, mom and grandma to show the generations of women in your family or any other mix of family members that you want to place in a picture together.
  • Pregnancy pictures. There are many fun ways to show your progress through pregnancy and documenting it with photos is the perfect way to capture this time in your life. Years from now you’ll be able to take your child through your journey before you got to meet them and share that special moment with them.
  • Pet portraits. If your pet is a member of your family then capturing memories with them is just as important. There are so many great ways to take some amazing photos whether it’s outside at a park or in the comfort of your own home.
  • Save the date. Getting married in the near future? Taking a quirky couple photo where your wedding date is displayed is a lovely way to invite people to your wedding. You can do anything from writing the date on the bottom of your shoes to using chalkboards or balloons to display the date.
  • Gender reveal. Why not make finding out the gender of your baby a fun surprise for everyone by turning it into a fun photo that you can send around. Some cute ideas include releasing pink or blue balloons out of a box or you could incorporate a cute color frame to hold around your belly.
