January is a great time of year to make plans including when to have your family photo shoot. Most family photographers including myself have just opened their books to clients for the coming seasons so if you have a particular season in mind then this is a great time to make a booking.

So which season is your favourite?

Spring. A great time if you love the fresh greens of the new leaves, spring bulbs, apple blossom and fields of bluebells. And if we get spring showers? Just pop on your favourite pair of wellies and get splashing in those puddles!

Summer:  Early summer brings us wisteria, fields of glorious buttercups and daisies whilst later in the season there are plenty of opportunities for a family photo shoot in fields of golden corn, barley and amazing blue borage as well as other amazing flowers. Not forgetting sunsets and days at the beach to capture those childhood memories of sand castles and sand between their toes.

Autumn is an amazing time for incredible sunsets and the glorious warm colours of the leaves as they fall. All things warm and glowing go with Autumn and there’s nothing children love more than kicking a few leaves around or collecting the apples. This is the season for perfect warm hues of gold right the way through to the deep browns and rich reds that you may love for your family photos.

We musn’t forget winter. You may think that winter isn’t the best season for a family photo shoot unless it snows. Well of course if we’re lucky enough to get the snow then it’s a great time to make some memories with snowball fights and fluffy hats but don’t dismiss winter as its a great season for a family photo shoot. The winter light is naturally diffused on a grey day giving lovely soft light to your family photos. And not forgetting that who doesn’t love a family photo for a Christmas present. I’m really lucky to be able to work with a Christmas tree farm which gives me the perfect backdrop for some gorgeous seasonal photos.

Winter also offers some amazing flowers. Snowdrops in particular. There are plenty of incredible locations where you can have family photos amongst a carpet of snowdrops.
