Fall Photos Start Now: Why August Is the Time to Get on the Calendar 🍂

Fall may feel far away, but photography calendars say otherwise

We’re still enjoying summer, but if you’re dreaming about updated family photos this fall, now is the time to start thinking about them!

Fall is one of the most popular seasons for family photography in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. Between the beautiful New Mexico light, cooler temperatures, changing colors, and holiday cards around the corner, those prime evening dates can disappear quickly.

Booking now gives you choices

Waiting until the last minute can mean trying to squeeze your session into whatever date is left.

Planning ahead gives you more flexibility with:

• session dates• golden-hour times• locations• outfits• schedules for everyone in the family

It also means one less thing to scramble to accomplish once school, sports, activities, and holiday plans are in full swing.

Start thinking about your look now

You don’t need to have every outfit picked out today, but this is a great time to start thinking about the overall look you want.

Do you love warm fall colors? Soft neutrals? Something dressier? A casual New Mexico feel?

Once we know the location and style you’re going for, everything else starts falling into place.

Your future holiday-card self will thank you

There is something wonderful about heading into November knowing your family photos are already DONE.

You’ll have beautiful, updated images ready for holiday cards, gifts, prints, wall art, and, of course, that new family profile picture.

If fall family photos are on your list this year, don’t wait until fall to start planning them. Let’s get your date on the calendar and make it something you can look forward to!
