A Fall Family Session in the Gardens | Hayes & Fisk Photography

There’s something magical about fall in the gardens—golden light filtering through the trees, soft pops of color from changing leaves, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that brings out the very best in every family we photograph. This recent session was the perfect example of why autumn is one of our favorite times of year for portraits.

This beautiful family joined us for a relaxed session surrounded by lush greenery, climbing ivy, and warm fall tones. Their wardrobe choices—rich browns, classic denim, soft whites, and timeless khakis—blended seamlessly with the natural backdrop, creating a cohesive and effortless look. The combination of textures and colors made every image feel organic, fresh, and perfectly suited for the season.

Of course, the star of the show might have been their sweet black Labrador, who proudly posed right alongside them. Pets are such an important part of family life, and we always love welcoming them into sessions. They bring so much personality and joy—and this pup was no exception!

Fall is one of the most popular times for family portraits, and with good reason: the weather is comfortable, the gardens look absolutely stunning, and the resulting images make beautiful wall art, gifts, and holiday cards. Whether you’re updating your annual family portrait, celebrating a milestone, or simply wanting to freeze a moment in time, this season offers the perfect setting.

We love helping families create images that feel authentic, warm, and timeless—memories to be treasured for years to come. If you’ve been thinking about scheduling your own fall portrait session, now is the perfect time to plan. Let us help you tell your family’s story in the most beautiful way.
