There’s something truly magical about fall in the Midwest. The crisp air, golden leaves, and glowing sunsets create the perfect backdrop for timeless family portraits. At Creations By Beth Photography, fall is one of my favorite times to photograph families—it’s when nature does half the work of setting the scene. All that’s left is for me to capture the love, connection, and joy between you and your loved ones.

Why Fall is the Perfect Time for Family Photos

  • Stunning Colors: From warm golds to deep reds, the natural beauty of fall adds richness and depth to every image.
  • Perfect Weather: Cooler temperatures mean everyone is more comfortable during sessions—especially little ones.
  • Holiday Timing: Fall portraits are ready just in time for holiday cards and gift artwork for grandparents.

What to Expect During Your Fall Session

Fall sessions with me are designed to be relaxed and stress-free. I’ll guide your family through natural interactions, capturing both posed portraits and candid moments full of laughter and love. Sessions typically last around 30 minutes, which is just the right amount of time to keep kids happy while still creating a beautiful variety of images.

Styling Tips for Fall Family Portraits

When it comes to clothing, think warm, earthy tones that complement the season—creams, deep greens, mustard yellows, burgundy, and soft browns. Coordinated outfits always look timeless, but avoid being too “matchy.” Layers, scarves, and textures like knits or corduroy add beautiful detail that photographs wonderfully.

The Artwork You’ll Treasure Forever

Every session is more than just a photoshoot—it’s an investment in your family’s legacy. Following your session, you’ll have the opportunity to choose from heirloom artwork options such as:

  • Framed wall art
  • Canvas collections
  • Albums
  • Holiday cards

Each piece is custom-designed to bring your memories to life in a way that feels true to your family and your home.

Newborn photography is about more than creating cute baby pictures — it’s about preserving your family’s first story.

In today’s digital world, AI is everywhere—even in photography. From artistic edits to creating entire scenes from scratch, AI images are popping up across social media. While this technology can feel overwhelming or even concerning, I believe it has its place when used in the right way. As a professional photographer, I want to share how AI can be used for good—and why real, professional photography still matters most when it comes to preserving your family’s story.

Certain moments in life can’t be repeated. A maternity glow, a newborn’s first days, a child’s milestone—these are once-in-a-lifetime memories. That’s why it breaks my heart when I hear from families whose photographers cancel at the last minute, leaving them without someone to capture those fleeting moments. Not long ago, I got a call from a dad in Tinley Park who was desperate for help. His wife was dressed in a stunning maternity gown, her hair and makeup were professionally done, and their daughter was ready for pictures. Then, just one hour before their session , their photographer canceled.
