Perfect Fall Family Photo Session
Monday, January 12, 2026 | By: Jason Heuer
What made this session especially meaningful for me is the history behind it. Years ago, I had the honor of photographing this couple’s wedding day. Even before that, I photographed mom’s senior photos back in the day. Fast forward to now, and I’m capturing memories of their kids and their growing family — that’s the full-circle moment every photographer hopes for.
Fall is hands-down one of the best times of year for family portraits. The colors are rich, the temperatures are comfortable, and everyone naturally relaxes a little more. Kids can move, laugh, and be themselves, and parents don’t have to battle summer heat or winter coats. It’s the sweet spot.
This session was full of genuine smiles, real moments, and the kind of connection you can’t stage. These are the images that end up on walls, in albums, and passed down for years.
Watching families grow over time is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I’m incredibly thankful for families like this one who continue to trust me with their most important milestones.
If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos — especially during fall — this is your sign. Family portraits aren’t just photos; they’re memories in the making.
