The Magic of Fall, Captured Authentically

Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons for family photography in Vancouver—the golden light, the vibrant leaves, the cozy textures. But too often, families worry that their photos will look stiff or overly posed.

As a Vancouver family photographer, my approach focuses on connection, movement, and warmth. The result? Candid images that feel like you—not stock photos.

Posing Isn’t the Problem—It’s the Pressure

Parents often say, “We’re awkward in front of the camera.” But that awkwardness comes from trying to look a certain way instead of being present with your family.

During your fall session, I guide you with simple, natural prompts:

• Walk together and talk about your favourite part of fall
• Hold hands, spin, twirl, chase
• Whisper silly secrets to each other
• Wrap up in a blanket and cuddle close

The goal isn’t perfection—it’s presence.

What to Wear for Effortless, Coordinated Photos

The right wardrobe helps you look and feel comfortable—without overthinking it.

Tips for a candid-friendly look:

• Choose natural fabrics and fall tones (think rust, cream, olive, denim)
• Avoid tight-fitting or overly structured outfits
• Layer for warmth and texture
• Let kids be kids: boots, beanies, and cozy knits photograph beautifully

I send all clients a wardrobe guide with visual examples and suggestions for sourcing pieces that work together without being “matchy.”

Let Kids Be Kids (Really)

Some of the most beautiful images come from the in-between moments: a toddler running into your arms, a quiet forehead kiss, a burst of laughter.

I work with your kids’ energy—not against it. That means:

• We follow their lead
• Breaks are always welcome
• No forced smiles required

These aren’t photos that ask your family to “perform.” They’re an invitation to be yourselves.

Want Candid, Connected Fall Family Photos?

My fall calendar fills quickly—and for good reason. These sessions are more than a photo op; they’re a way to slow down and reconnect.

If you’re looking for fall family photos in Vancouver that feel real, warm, and timeless, I’d love to create that experience for you.
