TIP 1: SECURE YOUR SESSION DATE ASAP
Fall is typically the busiest season of the year for most photographers. So be sure to plan ahead and book your session in advance to avoid scrambling at the last minute to find a photographer with availability left.
TIP 2: TIMING IS EVERYTHING
The timing of your fall photo session is essential to capture all the magic the season has to offer. Research when foliage will be at its peak in your area and schedule your session during this time to capture the vibrant colors of fall at their best. (Here in KY, this is usually sometime in October.) And if you want to catch that gorgeous golden hour glow, aim for a session about an hour before sunset.
TIP 3: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Your choice of location sets the stage for your fall photoshoot. Seek out locations that celebrate the season's beauty – charming family farms, peaceful parks, tree-lined city streets, or even your own backyard adorned with fallen leaves. The possibilities are endless; just make sure you select a spot that resonates with your personality and style.
TIP 4: WARDROBE SELECTION
Deciding what to wear is always a super important part of the planning process that shouldn't be overlooked. I recommend you embrace the season with cozy layers and a color palette of warm, earthy tones that complement the changing leaves. Choose outfits that you feel comfortable in, reflect your personality, and make you feel your best.

TIP 5: RELAX & HAVE FUN
When the day of the session arrives, focus on having fun and being yourself. Toss out any fears or worries you may have and just be present so that you can fully enjoy these moments. Remember that the goal for each session isn't just to walk away with beautiful photos but also to gain a wonderful memory.
TIP 6: AFTER YOUR SESSION
Once you receive your photos from your session, don't just let them sit on your computer forgotten! Show them off on social media, decorate your home with them, or even use them for your holiday cards. Most importantly, make sure to save your photos in multiple places so that you can keep them safe.
So there you have it, folks, six quick tips to help you plan the perfect fall photoshoot! And remember, this is YOUR adventure, so let your personality shine and create joyful memories that'll warm your hearts for years to come.
