I know that the thought of family photos can sometimes feel like another thing on the to-do list. But as a Kansas City-area family photographer, I often find that summer offers the perfect opportunity for relaxed, easy, and fun sessions.
Here in the Midwest, our summers are HOT, but those evenings when the sun gets low are truely magic and it’s a fantastic time to document your family's story. Let me share a few reasons why a summer session might just be a wonderful choice for your crew:
1. Flexible Schedules
Summer often means a welcome shift from rigid routines. With kids out of school, you might find more breathing room in your schedule, making it easier to find that perfect photo slot. Those long summer evenings also offer the most beautiful light, providing a soft, dreamy glow for your photos without needing to start super early.
2. Summer Styles
Summer is the season for light, breezy fabrics and comfortable outfits. Think flowy sundresses, shorts, light linen, and even bare feet. When everyone is comfortable and feeling good in what they're wearing, it directly translates to more genuine smiles and relaxed interactions in your photos.
3. Warm Weather
If the chance of chilly weather or bundling up for outdoor photos makes you shiver, summer is absolutely your season. The warmth allows everyone to relax and enjoy being outdoors without the distraction of being cold.
Considering Summer Photos?
Summer offers a unique blend of convenience, comfort, and beautiful light that can make your family photo experience truly enjoyable. If you're thinking about documenting this season with your loved ones, I'm here to help make it happen!
