Family Fall Adventure Sessions in North Alabama
When planning your family photoshoot, it’s easy to get lost in the logistics of how the day will go - especially if you have toddlers or young children. What will they wear? How will they behave? What if it rains? What if we are all crying the whole time? (I’ve been there!) These are all great questions to discuss with your photographer, but in the midst of all the planning, don’t forget to add a little adventure! Making your day a fun expedition rather than a stressful to-do will totally change the game. But Tiffany, you ask, how do I plan an adventure? So glad you asked!
Toddlers and young kids love adventures; their whole lives are an adventure! When planning your day, choose a location that is age-appropriate and inspires them to explore. Parks, playgrounds, or downtown squares are great options!
Consider what kind of landscape you will encounter and how you might enjoy it. Will there be rocks to climb on? Art to look at? A field to play in? And don’t forget to consider lighting! For example, an indoor playground might sound perfect, but fluorescent lighting is not ideal for a photoshoot. Location is a topic your photographer would be happy to discuss!
While at your session, and when mentally preparing, remember to let your little ones be free. Follow their lead and let them discover the adventure they’d like to have. Rather than trying to capture the perfect “stand and smile,” get down on their level and explore with them. It’s exciting to see the world through their eyes.
