Fall Family Photo shoot

Let me tell you about one of my favorite fall family photo shoots of all time. It was last fall, and I had the pleasure of photographing two brother's families at the Ramapo Valley County Reservation in Mahwah, NJ. Originally from NJ, a Florida-based photographer now, I have to say it was a refreshing change of pace to shoot in the Northeast and enjoy the colors of fall.

The shoot took place just before the temperatures dropped too low, and the colors of the trees were still spectacular. The lake was also reflective that day, creating a stunning backdrop for the families. The boys were a blast to photograph, and their moods were ever-changing, but that created some of the best moments. Plus, the cousins clearly adored each other, and that really showed in the photos.

Now, one thing that really stood out about this shoot was the families' wardrobe. They did an incredible job of coordinating their outfits perfectly for a fall photo shoot, choosing seasonal colors that complemented the scenery. I cannot stress enough how important wardrobe is for group photos, and these families nailed it.

As a photographer, I like to be prepared for anything, so I switched between natural light photos and off-camera strobes with umbrellas. Fall light can be unpredictable, and I wanted to make sure I captured every moment without overexposing the stunning backgrounds.

Overall, this photo shoot was one of my favorites, thanks to the wonderful families and their great energy. If you're in need of family portraits, whether it's in Florida or the Northeast, I'm your guy. I specialize in natural light photography and candid family memories, and I would love to help you capture those special moments.
