Fall season has begun, so grab a pumpkin spice latte and break out your camera, because it’s time for a photoshoot with your little ones! The changing of the leaves and colder weather make for the perfect backdrop for photoshoots. It is a great way to get outside and snap some great pics of your kids modeling the latest trends and their new fall gear. At Bensimon Models & Talent, we think that fall photoshoots are a great way to pump up your photo library, or possibly even find a child model in the making. Remember, with a little imagination and creativity, you can create incredible photos that will last a lifetime. Here’s our list of some simple ideas that could make for some great pictures.
Pumpkin patches are all over the place and can serve as the perfect background to kickoff your fall photoshoot. Find one near your house and have fun taking pictures of your kids modeling with pumpkins, or having fun in a corn maze!
Fall means big piles of leaves to jump in, throw around, and play with. Find the biggest pile you can and have your kids go wild! You won’t believe how much fun your kids will have and how incredible the photos will look.
Bring out some of your editing skills and take photos as the sun is going down. Your kid will look amazing with the deep orange sunset as the setting, and their shadow taking over the foreground.
On your way to different locations take pics of the kids in the car in their fall photoshoot outfits. Sometimes the journey to the spot can be just as picturesque as the actual setting.
Since the backdrop of the fall season is so beautiful, it’s the perfect time to take some portraits of your kids. Take them out to a great spot in nature near you, and snap some closeups. Guaranteed, you’ll find a couple new photos just begging for a frame.
Bring out the orange, brown, black, and burgundy of the season, to set up some beautiful photos of your kids modeling their newest fall styles. They’ll look great blending into the background of changing leaves.
Go to your nearest farm and see if they have a petting zoo, if so, take pictures of your kids modeling with the animals. They’ll have the most fun and you’ll have extra photos to add to your collection from your fall photoshoot.
This might depend on where you live, but if you live somewhat near an apple orchard, it’s worth the trip! First you’ll get extremely fresh and natural apples to go home with, and the photos of your kids doing it are truly phenomenal.
For some reason bridges look amazing in the fall, so drive to the one that is easily accessible and safe for photos. Your kids will have a great time and they’ll start to feel like real models, shooting on location.
As usual the greatest idea is just to tell your kids to have fun and start taking pictures. Candid images are always the most fun.
The fall season is beautiful, crisp, and reminds us of new beginnings. Take advantage of the free time you have, and spend it by creating a fall photoshoot. You’ll have stunning pictures for postcards or even to simply hang around your house. You can boast that you have become the professional photographer of the house. You’ll be enjoying those shots for years to come!
