NYC Family Photographer | When to Book Your Fall Session

Scheduling a fall portrait session with a NYC Family Photographer is a yearly occurrence for many families. The humidity is subsiding and the changing leaves provide a wonderful backdrop for your portraits.

When is the best time to reach out to reserve your session?

Early to mid-August. The earlier you reach out, the greater chance that your favorite photographer has availability. The sooner you reach out the greater chance of choosing your ideal date.

What fall month should you schedule your session?

That depends. The longer you wait, the more orange, yellow, and red the foliage. However, if you wait too long you’ll be working with a more brown color scheme. That can be fine, depending on what specific look you’re going for.

What time of day should you schedule your fall session with a NYC family photographer?

If you’ve worked with a NYC Family Photographer in the past, you’ve probably heard the term the golden hour. Golden hour is the 1-2 hours prior to sunset. It got it’s name because the sun casts gorgeous light onto you and your family.

I recommend that all of my clients schedule their outdoor sessions 1-2 hours before sunset. This means that I only schedule one sunset session per day. However, it ensures that my clients get the best light for their session.
