5 Picture-Perfect Locations for Fall Mini Sessions | Family Photography with Kelli Price Photography

As the crisp breeze and vibrant hues of fall take center stage, it's the perfect time to plan for fall mini sessions that capture the essence of the season. 2023 did not disappoint with a couple of my favorite locations and also NEW spots! What is your favorite spot?

First up….Truckee, California with early Fall warmth: Nestled in the Sierra Nevada, Truckee transforms into a picturesque wonderland during early fall. The warm tones of autumn create a magical atmosphere, making it an ideal setting for capturing cozy moments amidst golden leaves and tall grass providing a rustic charm that enhances the beauty of fall portraits.

Every year I return to my home of Atlanta, Georgia - This new spot (for me) seemed like a Field of Dreams - a pretty field adorned with the golden glow of autumn, framed by a charming wooden fence. Atlanta, Georgia, offers just that. The combination of nature's beauty and rustic elements creates a timeless setting for capturing unforgettable moments.

Another new spot….Glenshire Neighborhood - Tranquility at the Pond: For those seeking a serene and convenient location (just swing by on your way home!), Glenshire neighborhood's pond is a hidden gem. Surrounded by trees showing their autumnal best, the pond reflects the changing colors & the mountains, creating a peaceful and idyllic ambiance.

One of my favorite spots in Reno, Nevada - Along the Truckee River: Reno, with its vibrant energy, offers a unique backdrop for fall photography along the Truckee River. Picture-perfect spots can be found amidst the pretty fall foliage lining the riverbanks. The variety of natural elements in this park create a dynamic setting, allowing you to capture diverse and captivating moments against the backdrop of autumn's beauty.

A new favorite in Lake Tahoe - Pier Perfection: Perched on the shores of Lake Tahoe, a pier becomes the epitome of fall elegance. The crystal-clear waters of the lake, surrounded by towering pines, set the stage for a mesmerizing autumn session. Whether capturing the reflections on the water or utilizing the pier as a charming prop, Lake Tahoe offers a captivating canvas for your fall mini sessions.

As I revisit these favorite images from each location, I'm reminded of the privilege of freezing these fleeting moments in time. Each photograph is not just a representation of the fall season but a testament to the connections, joy, and beauty that unfolded during these sessions. Looking ahead to future fall mini sessions, I'm excited to continue capturing the magic of autumn in new and enchanting locations, creating memories that last a lifetime.
