Some Common Questions About Fall Family Sessions | Chester County Photograpy

Q: What is the best time of day for fall photos?
A: The best time for fall photos is during the golden hour, which is the hour after sunrise or the hour before sunset. The soft, warm light creates a beautiful glow and enhances the rich colors of the fall foliage.

Q: What should we wear for our fall photography session?
A: For a fall session, I recommend layering your outfits in warm, rich tones like burgundy, mustard, or forest green. Textures like knits and flannels work beautifully and add depth to your photos. Just make sure everyone feels comfortable and confident!

Q: What if the weather is unpredictable?
A: Fall weather can be a bit tricky, but we can always have a backup plan. If it’s rainy or too cold, we can reschedule or move the session to an indoor location with natural light.

Q: How can we keep our kids engaged during the session?
A: To keep kids engaged, try bringing along their favorite toys or snacks. I also use playful prompts and activities to keep them entertained and capture their genuine smiles.

Q: How long does a session typically last?
A: A typical family session lasts about 1 hour. This gives us plenty of time to capture a variety of shots and make sure everyone has a great time!

Q: When will we get our photos back?
A: You can expect to receive your edited photos within 2-3 weeks after our session. I’ll send you a link to a private gallery where you can view and download your images.

Newborn Preparation for a Studio Baby Session in Phoenixville Pa

What Should Parents do to Prepare for their Newborn Photography Session?

Preparing for your newborn photo session at my Phoenixville studio is a breeze with a few simple tips. To ensure a smooth experience, please arrive with your baby well-fed and sleepy for the best results. I recommend feeding baby around 20-30 minutes before the session. I also ask parents to dress babies in easily removable clothes, Zipper onesies are the BEST! I also recommend bringing an extra bottle and pacifier if baby takes them. Nursing can also be done at any point we feel that baby may need it. Bring along any special blankets you’d like to incorporate, as well as extra diapers and wipes for comfort. The clothes, wraps and setups will be provided for the baby. A calm and relaxed environment helps us capture those precious, timeless moments so it is important for parents to remain calm when or if baby seems upset or wakes up during the session. Remember the best time for newborn photography is within the first 2-3 weeks, when they are still sleepy and easier to pose.

Some packages includes the family to be part of the session. For this portion, I urge parents to look their best (nails, hair, skin and makeup) although you may not feel like it at this point in your life. Mommas will also have access to all the dresses in my Client Closet! So no need to worry about what to wear! You are more than welcome to wear your own outfits as well if you would like, but the option of the Client Closet is available.

For a seamless session and stunning newborn photos in Phoenixville, preparation is key. Feel free to reach out with any questions before your appointment to ensure a wonderful experience!

Family Photos with a New Baby ! Mainline Newborn Family Photos

It was such a pleasure to capture this sweet family recently a second time around. Just a few months ago, we met for the first time while momma was expecting and we took some gorgeous Maternity photos outdoors during the Fall. Now with their new addition, we got together again this time at my studio in Phoenixville, Pa. This time they brought their second beautiful, rainbow baby, Olivia. Big Sis was promoted! Big sister was the happiest and most comfortable child I have photographed recently. Overall, the entire session went by smoothly while catching up about their new lives adding a newborn in their lives. Wishing this family all the love and best as they continue to adjust to this beautiful new addition.
