There are many reasons why Spring is a GREAT option for your yearly family photos in Seattle! A lot of families tend to gravitate towards the Fall for their family photos mainly because of the rich fall colors and the fact that holiday cards are on your brain. If you have been doing fall photos each year it might be time to switch it up and here’s why!

1. Blooms!

Spring in Seattle is GORGEOUS! Getting outside after a long winter of being cooped up inside is so refreshing and just what you and your littles need! Spring offers a different color palette for your background: think pastels, blue skies and golden sun! If you’re lucky, your location might have cherry blossoms, spring blooms, and fresh new life growing all around! This is in stark contrast to the bold harvest colors found in the fall.

2. Wardrobe Choices

Because the landscape and climate is different in the Spring – your wardrobe will vary as well! Trade in those bulky coats, chunky sweaters, and boots for pretty spring florals, flowy dresses, rompers and knee-highs for the kids!

3. Golden Hour Timing

I shoot all outdoor sessions during Golden Hour – one hour before sunset which happens to be much earlier than in the summer. Many parents cringe when I say the start time will be 8:30pm. If you have young kids and are cognizant of bedtime, Spring is the perfect choice for an earlier shoot with maximum gorgeousness!

4. Variety

Add variety to your walls and albums! If you tend to get photos each fall they all might tend to look alike. Spring is a great time to switch it up with a light, airy, and fresh look.

5. Photographer Availability

Most photographers are swamped in the fall and are much fresher and eager to shoot in the Spring. They may even charge less or have sales during the off-peak time!
