Colorful Fall Foliage for Family Portraits in Saratoga Springs

This is just the sweetest family, and I always have so much fun with them! I love it when clients become friends, and that is exactly what happened with the C family. Aiden was born a few months after Grayson, and now our little guys are buddies. We love watching them interact with each other, and I always enjoy hearing Grayson’s answer when I ask him who his friends are and he tells me right away, “Aiden is my friend!”

Aiden is such a cute little boy, and he couldn’t stop giggling & laughing during our fall family portrait session at SPAC! He loves nature and he was constantly finding sticks hidden under the leaves to pick up and play with. I’m obsessed with these little overalls and I think for toddlers they are such a classic look for portraits.

Speaking of outfits, can we talk about how amazing the whole family’s outfits are here?!?! That yellow silk blouse is everything, and dad looks super sharp in his blazer. This family took the outfit tips from the blog post below and ran with them, using color and textures for a really beautiful combination that photographed so wonderfully.

We found the perfect little spot in the park that was covered in colorful fallen leaves, and the sun was filtered just right through the trees. A week later this path was bare, and I’m so glad we did our portrait session when we did!

One of my favorite things about this location is that there are so many unique spots just a short walk from each other. In 3 or 4 minutes, you can have an entirely different backdrop for your family portraits!
