While Winter in New England hasn’t really shown its chops this year, disappointing those of us who enjoy a good snowstorm, I know we all look forward to Spring and the warm temperatures it brings as the landscape wakes up. As a portrait photographer in Boston, Fall is my busiest season, but truth-be told — as much as I love the vivid colors of Fall, I love the softness of Spring even more. I highly recommend this time of year for your family portraits or senior photos in the Boston area.
Nature offers diverse settings in and around Boston
If you love outdoor spaces, we can find fields of wildflowers or blooming cherry trees. Combine Boston’s beauty with the lively Spring landscape, and you have endless options for beautiful portraits.
The Magic of Spring Light
The golden hour glow of Spring (and Summer!) is no myth. As temperatures rise, Spring light softens, casting everything in a warm, flattering light. The increased daylight hours provide more scheduling flexibility for your family portrait session, allowing for experimentation with natural lighting that elevates your photos.
Enjoy Greater Flexibility and Fewer Scheduling Hassles
Spring’s relative predictability offers fewer scheduling headaches compared to late summer’s humidity and thunderstorms. While we might run into Spring showers, rescheduling is so much easier than Fall when the warm days are limited, sunsets are earlier, and we are bumping up to holiday deadlines. Don’t forget that Spring goes until June 21st, so we are not just talking about April or May photos!
Spring temperatures allow for more wardrobe variety
One of the key pillars to choosing a great family session wardrobe is layering. While Summer can be too hot and humid to do this comfortably, Spring is the perfect time to create dynamic looks through layered clothing. Enjoy the balanced temperatures of spring to mix and match outfits creatively, ensuring your family photos reflect your year-round style.
