Autumn - Perfect Time for an Outdoor Photoshoot

 

Autumn in Leeds and across Yorkshire is one of the most beautiful times of the year. 🍂 The golden light, vibrant leaves, and crisp air create the most magical backdrop for photographs. Whether you’re planning a family photoshoot or want to celebrate your pregnancy with an autumn maternity session, this season offers something truly special.

The Beauty of Autumn Colours

The warm tones of autumn - rich reds, golden yellows, and deep oranges - make the landscape look like a painting. These natural colours are flattering in photographs and create a timeless, fine art feel. Family portraits taken among fallen leaves or maternity photos surrounded by glowing autumn trees capture the essence of the season perfectly.

Soft, Golden Light

Autumn light is every photographer’s dream. The sun sits lower in the sky, producing a soft, golden glow throughout the day- especially during golden hour. This natural light flatters skin tones and adds a beautiful warmth to your portraits, whether you’re photographing children playing in the leaves or an expectant mother cradling her bump.

Seasonal Atmosphere & Wardrobe

Autumn is also the perfect time to dress up in cosy knits, earthy tones, and flowing dresses that complement the seasonal colours. For maternity sessions, my collection of gowns looks stunning against the autumn backdrop, adding elegance and femininity to your portraits. For families, coordinating outfits in warm tones brings everything together beautifully.

Perfect for Families & Expectant Mothers

Children love the playful side of autumn- running through leaves, finding conkers, or simply enjoying the fresh air. These candid moments make for joyful, authentic family portraits. For expectant mothers, autumn provides a serene and magical setting to celebrate the journey of pregnancy, surrounded by nature at its most vibrant.

Memories to Treasure Forever

The season is fleeting, but your photographs will last a lifetime. Autumn sessions are a wonderful way to pause, celebrate, and create tangible memories you can look back on year after year.
