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.

Whats the Best Time for Maternity Photos? |Philadelphia Preganacy Photos

One Common Question I get asked often is, what is the best time to do Maternity Photos?

Maternity photos are such a memorable time in your life and it deserves to be captured. Your beautiful body is changing and bringing to you this miracle. I am not saying it is easy, btw. I have been blessed to go through 3. So I know going through each one was very different and not always a walk in the park. There are the benefits like glowing skin, gorgeous locks, and special attention from others. There are some downsides like tiredness, sleeplessness, and swollen feet/ankles. Overall, even if you don’t feel your best you should still get your photos taken because you will not only miss the baby bump but you will also want to relive these moments through photos later on in life. The truth is although this can seem to be a difficult time in your life, there is something magical about it as well.

Now lets discuss what would be the best time to get these pregnancy photos taken.

Since each trimester varies in levels of comfort, I would recomment booking sometime in your 2nd trimester. The best time would be around 28-35 weeks. This is the time your belly is showing but you are able to move around comfortably. This timeframe is also when you feel your best. You are resting better and eating is back to normal. In the end, I would suggest doing the pregnancy photos when you are comfortable moving around, feeling your best, at the same time carrying your precious baby belly:)

Maternity Session at Valley Forge Park | Montgomery County, Pa

I met the most amazing couple recently at a Maternity shoot scheduled at Valley Forge Park! The nervousness before a session is inevitable for most photographers. But meeting clients who are just relaxed, calm and follow directions makes for a dream session. Meghan looked INCREDIBLE in her maternity dress and I couldn’t resist asking her where she got it from! This dress is now included in my Client Closet! Wishing this couple all the best with preparations for parenthood! And looking forward to meeting their precious baby girl Pearl soon for her Newborn Session.
