Family Fall Mini Sessions

Fall is here—and what better way to welcome in the brrr season than with gorgeous new photos to hang in your home? Autumn is the season of warmth, nostalgia, and gathering close, and fall mini sessions are the perfect way to capture it all. Think of it as your yearly chance to bottle up those cozy, golden moments and turn them into art that lives on your walls, in your holiday cards, and on your family’s Instagram feed.

So, what makes fall photos feel so timeless, seasonal, and irresistibly cozy? Let’s break it down:

1. The Color Palette

When we think of fall, it’s all about rich, earthy hues—burnt oranges, deep reds, mustard yellows, and warm browns. These colors instantly transport us into the season and create a backdrop that feels natural yet striking. The best part? Autumn light does half the work for us. The sun sits a little lower, making golden hour actually golden.

2. Textures That Feel Like Fall

Clothing isn’t just about looking good—it sets the tone of your photos. Jeans, chunky knit sweaters, cozy scarves, and boots help tell the story of the season. The textures almost make you feel the crisp air just by looking at the image. Pro tip: mix textures in your family’s outfits to add depth and warmth.

3. Location, Location, Location

The Tri-Cities are spoiled with dreamy autumn backdrops. Whether it’s fiery red leaves in Johnson City, a babbling brook in Jonesborough, or the rustic charm of a barn setting, fall in East Tennessee was made for photos. These timeless locations are the stage where your family’s story unfolds.

4. Makeup That Matches the Season

A touch of blush on the nose and the high apples of the cheeks adds that “we’ve been out in the chilly air” glow. It’s subtle, but it brings the whole look together and makes the images feel more alive. Fall makeup is all about warmth and natural tones—think flushed cheeks, soft lips, and a cozy, real-life feel.

5. The Feeling

Photos aren’t just about how you look—they’re about how you feel. Autumn is the season of closeness. We’ll pose your family in ways that bring you together—snuggling under a blanket, holding hands as you run through a field, or leaning in for an Eskimo kiss. The goal? Photos that make you feel the warmth of the moment every time you see them.
