Spring is here, and it’s the most beautiful time of year!
Spring means warmer weather and longer days for hiking trips and outdoor activities, getting the garden started, playing on the playground, reading a book in a hammock, and soaking up the sun! The trees are blooming, grass is greening, we’re coming out of our winter cocoon and feeling more energized with each passing day. Memorial Day is around the corner and we’re all getting excited for the summer months ahead.
It’s also an amazing time to have your family portraits taken! (maybe even the BEST time.)
Spring is the best time for family photos!
Why?
- Update your family photos for your Christmas Card! (It’s good to plan ahead!)
- The colors are GORGEOUS!
- Warmer temps mean you can look your best in your new summer dresses.
- The sun sets later, meaning there is more time for portrait sessions!
Update your family photos for your Christmas card.
This is super easy with me because I offer a wide variety of custom designed Christmas cards and they’re so easy to order!
You just go to my online catalog, pick your design, and within 2 days your design is customized with your family photos and name! They come in sets of 25 with envelopes.
The colors are GORGEOUS with all the flowers blooming and trees greening!
How can you argue that after seeing these photos? I love the vibrant azaleas above and the cherry blossoms below!
Warmer temps mean you can look your best in your new summer dresses…
When you book a session with me I give you a pdf with some helpful tips on how to plan your outfits, knowing what a challenge this can be.
The sun sets later, meaning there is more time for portrait sessions!
With the sun setting closer to 8:00pm in April and May, we can get our portrait sessions started around 6pm for that ideal, golden hour light! This opens up availability to work together during the week too, which is important with everyone’s busy schedules!
When should you book your spring family portrait session?
You should book your session as early as possible because availability during the spring is very limited. At least 3 months in advance is suggested.
In the decade years I’ve been photographing families in Northern and Central NJ I’ve found that the best time to schedule a spring session is Mid-April for Cherry blossoms and the beginning of May for Azaleas and flowers. June provides lush greens!
