Autumn Family Photoshoot with Basingstoke Photographer

Of course, Autumn family photography sessions are fully customisable to reflect your family’s unique story. Let me explain how we can tailor every detail of your photoshoot to bring your vision to life and make the experience truly yours.

Location:Is there a park or special place that holds meaning for your family? Somewhere you love to spend time together? I’m always excited to photograph your family in locations that resonate with you, as it adds depth and authenticity to your family story. That said I know the best places around Reading, Berkshire, bracknell to capture your fall family portraits and I scout locations in advance for you.

Activities: Whether you're into cozy family moments with hot cocoa, picnics, books and storytimes, or if your family prefers wild fun with the kids, and playful outdoor family photos we can incorporate activities that reflect your family’s unique dynamic to capture with autumn leaves backdrop.

Posing: I am known for capturing natural looking candid family photographs. My portfolio reflects that 100%. Instead of rigid posing, I like to learn about the little things you love most about your child or partner. This helps me get to know you as a person and understand the unique traits of your family members. By doing this, I can design a photoshoot that captures those special details that matter to you. Rather than directing with strict poses, I offer gentle guidance, allowing the magic to unfold naturally. My goal is for the photos to truly reflect who you are.

Many of the families I work with have young children who might not always follow directions, and that’s completely okay! Here’s a helpful tip if you're concerned about your kids not cooperating during the shoot: just relax and be ready to have fun. There's no need to discipline them during the session, as it could lead to tension and affect the mood of the photos. I fully understand that strict posing isn't ideal for little ones, so I come prepared with flexible, playful activities that make the experience enjoyable. Remember, if you're stressed, it will show in the pictures, so let’s keep it light and fun!

What to wear for your autumn photoshoot? Well, I will share the guidelines and tips on fall family outfit ideas. and I will be helping you pick the right clothing from your wardrobe. when we combine the right colours and textures together, it enhances the photos twice as much.

Props: I typically avoid using props because I want your family and connections to be the focus of your photoshoot, not the objects. However, if there’s something your child absolutely adores or that plays a part in your family’s story—whether it’s a favorite toy, blanket, or meaningful item—I encourage you to bring it along. Including these personal touches can make the photos even more special and unique to your family.

In short, during your discovery call, we will go over all the details that are important to you and understand what you want to achieve from this photoshoot. This is our opportunity to discuss your family’s personality, favorite locations, activities, things you all connect with, and any special touches you’d like to include.

I’ll get to know your vision, and together we’ll plan everything to ensure the session becomes an experience to slow down, reconnect with your partner, sit with your children, savor moments of togetherness, and acknowledge that you’re all there for each other—no matter what. The photoshoot will reflect the gift of family and the bond you share.
