Spring is here (finally!), and that means it’s time to shed the winter coats, dust off your sandals, and schedule your spring family photo session. With blooming trees, soft sunlight, and kids who might actually smile in warm weather—spring is basically nature’s way of saying, “Hey, let’s take some cute pictures!”
Whether your last family photos were taken years ago or your toddler has never sat still long enough for a decent shot, a spring session is the perfect way to capture your crew in this sweet (and slightly chaotic) stage of life.
Why Spring Is the Best Season for Family Photos
Let’s be real—fall gets a lot of love. But spring family portraits are totally underrated. Here’s why spring should be your new go-to:
- Blooming backdrops: Flowering trees, green grass, and soft skies = instant beauty
- Happy vibes: Longer days and warmer temps = fewer meltdowns (for everyone, not just the kids). The sun isn’t setting at 5 PM anymore-hallelujah!
- Fresh colors: Pastels, light neutrals, and floral prints shine in spring’s natural palette
- More availability: Spring schedules are often more flexible than the jam-packed fall rush
Translation? Easier to plan, prettier surroundings, and a whole lot less stress.
What to Wear for Your Outdoor Spring Family Photo Session
Coordinating outfits doesn’t have to mean “everyone wears matching jeans.” Try this instead:
- Keep it simple with 2–3 complementary colors
- Think light, breathable fabrics and layers (hello, unpredictable spring weather)
- Add textures—lace, knits, or linen—for visual interest
Pro Tips for a Fun and Fuss-Free Spring Family Photo Session
Spring sessions are relaxed and playful—but a little prep goes a long way:
- Pack snacks for the car ride home!
- Bring wipes… because kids get dirty easily in an orchard
- Keep expectations low and laughs high
- Trust your photographer (that’s me!) to capture the magic in the mess
You don’t need perfect smiles—just your perfectly imperfect family.
