No, I'm not talking about Christmas. I am talking about Fall. I love fall here in East Tennessee with the cooler temperatures, beautiful colors, and clear skies. I don't know if you have ever had a picture taken of your family outdoors in the fall, but if not, you really should consider it. We do a lot of family groups and senior portraits in the summer, but October and November in Knoxville and the surrounding areas is a setting like no other.

One of my favorite photos ever made of my family was taken in my mother's front yard with the fallen leaves spread like a carpet below us. The coolness of the day made everyone feel more at ease and relaxed and I think this transferred into the photograph. There is just something relaxing about being outside on a sunny Fall day. At least it is to me. 

We ended up using those photos for Christmas cards that year and everyone just loved them. Christmas cards are a great way to give a gift of a portrait to those friends and family who do not get to see you very often. I enjoy getting them from my friends and family, so that I can see how much older and grown up their kids have gotten since the last time I saw them.They are great scrap-booking items as well.

As I said before, if you have never had a portrait made in the Fall colors, I highly recommend it. It will likely be one of the best photos you have ever had made. If you would like to schedule an appointment with us for a session, just give us a call or send us an email through the contact page here on the site. If not, at least get out the tripod and shoot one yourself. You'll be glad you did.
