A Cozy Fall Family Session | The Culberts

Last October, I had the pleasure of capturing the Culbert family’s cozy fall family session. Mom, Dad, and their little baby boy spent the afternoon surrounded by vibrant autumn leaves. The crisp air and warm colors made the perfect setting for a relaxed and joyful family experience. There’s something truly special about this season that invites connection and calm, making every moment feel intimate and heartfelt.

Fall’s natural light is one of the best reasons to choose this season for family photos. The soft, golden glow from the lower sun angle highlights real emotions and creates warmth in every shot. Watching the baby explore the leaves while his parents shared sweet moments made the session feel genuine and full of life. This kind of light encourages natural smiles and easy interactions, capturing the family’s true spirit without any forced poses.

The colorful leaves and cool weather helped everyone feel comfortable and at ease throughout this cozy fall family session. Outdoor fall sessions offer a beautiful, natural backdrop where families can be themselves without the pressure of a studio setting. If you’re thinking about family photos, fall is the perfect time to capture memories you’ll treasure for years. The fleeting beauty of autumn makes these moments all the more precious to hold onto.

Kind Words

“Mariah is such a pleasure to work with! She is not only the friendliest person who makes you feel so comfortable right when you meet her, but you can tell photography is truly her passion. It’s a breath of fresh air to be able to have photos taken without feeling rushed or feeling like you are “just another client” to get through. I have had the joy of doing 2 different sessions with Mariah so far and each time, the pictures turned out absolutely flawless.” – Shannon & Nico
