Why Book a Fall Mini Session?

A fall mini session is an excellent opportunity to update your family portraits, celebrate milestones, or simply enjoy a fun and relaxed photo experience in the crisp autumn air. With the vibrant colors of fall, golden hour lighting, and the natural beauty of the season, these sessions provide a unique and beautiful setting for your photos.

What to Expect from Your Session

  • Short and Sweet: My mini sessions are designed to be quick, fun, and stress-free. At around 20-30 minutes long, they’re perfect for families with little ones, couples, or anyone with a busy schedule.

  • Beautiful Locations: I’ve carefully selected some of the most scenic spots around Phoenixville to serve as the perfect backdrop for your photos. Think open fields with golden leaves, charming tree-lined paths, and rustic wooden fences.

Some Common Questions About Fall Family Sessions | Chester County Photograpy

in , , , , , , , , , , ,

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

in , , , , , , , , , ,

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!

Baby Zoey- Phoenixville Newborn Session

in , , ,

What a GORGEOUS family! I first met this sweet family when I photographed their maternity session with baby #2 back in January 2021. And now, just a few months later ( April 2021) Baby Zoey joined us! Baby Zoey was a dream newborn to work with. She slept throughout her session and was so content… just the way we like them:) Brother Xander had to be distracted a few times as was expected for a toddler his age:) But he was super gentle with his baby sister. I could see the love and protective qualities that only an older brother can have. Congrats again to this family on their new additions and I hope they will look back at these images years from now and truly know the value of this moment being captured:) If you are expecting be sure to reach out to book your newborn session soon so that we can capture these beautiful seasons of life for you!

Windy and Cold Family Session- Chester County Family Photography

in

This session was wayyyy more windy and colder than we had expected! But I’ll be honest, I lOVE the wind in photos. It creates such drama and beauty. Morgan had contacted me for a Family Session a few weeks ago. She was well prepared of what she was wearing and coordinated the families outfits to the T. BUT little did she know that the dress she ordered would not fit properly and that the babies clothes would make her very cold. Client Closet to the rescue!! I had brought some extra dresses and some clothes for baby girl. So in the nick of time, we changed the plans and came up with THIS!! This family drove out to the suburbs of Philadelphia to take beautiful images of their sweet family and that is exactly what they got! One of my FAVORITE family sessions by far!!
