Why Fall is Perfect for Outdoor Portraits
As the seasons change and the cool breeze sweeps through Columbus, Ohio, there’s one time of year that every photographer loves to embrace—fall in Ohio. The autumn months present a golden opportunity to capture timeless family, and senior portraits that blend natural beauty with personal memories. Fall in Ohio is more than just a backdrop of colorful leaves and crisp air; it's a season full of warmth, nostalgia, and serenity for many of the families we photograph. From Apple Picking, pumpkin patches, and Ohio State Football, every Ohioan feels some type way in the fall! Here's why fall is the perfect season for outdoor photos and how you can make the most of it!
Breathtaking Color Palette
Ohio in the fall is nothing short of spectacular. The changing leaves bring forth a stunning array of reds, oranges, yellows, and golds that make for an absolutely breathtaking backdrop. Whether it’s a family in cozy sweaters, or tall boots, or elegant autumn dresses, the colors in the background enhance the subjects, creating a perfect harmony.
Moreover, the natural light in the fall season tends to be softer and more flattering, especially during the golden hour—the hour after sunrise or before sunset. The sun is lower in the sky, casting a warm glow that beautifully highlights faces and skin tones. This makes fall photos even more magical!
Comfortable Weather
Winter can be unbearably cold, especially for little ones who might not enjoy bundling up for a photo session. Fall in Ohio, however, hits that sweet spot. The air is crisp and cool, making it comfortable for people to spend time outdoors without feeling overheated or freezing. But you can’t put it off too long, winter is coming not far behind.
Columbus’s fall weather can vary, but as a photographer, I’m always keeping an eye on the forecast to choose the perfect day for outdoor shoots.
