Get Prepared for Your Portland Spring Family Photos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spring is almost here and I don’t know about you, but I’m ready! If you haven’t booked your family photos in the spring here in Portland before, I suggest trying it out this year. There are so many amazing locations that only work in the springtime so you’ll get a completely different look than in other times of the year. Read on for my tips on how to best prepare for your spring family photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When should we book our spring photo session?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spring is March 20th to June 20th and you really can’t go wrong with any time within there, but there are some things you may want to consider before booking your spring family photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early spring<\/strong> is great if you’re interested in being photographed in cherry blossoms or tulips. Another thing to consider is that I book sessions close to sunset and sunset gets later and later this time of year. The earlier you book, the earlier sunset will be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booking your family photos in mid spring<\/strong> is great for magnolia trees, lily fields, and later blooming cherry blossoms, as well as wildflowers in the Columbia River Gorge<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late spring<\/strong> brings peony farms<\/a>, rose gardens<\/a>, and local wildflower fields<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should we wear for our spring photos?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Clothing is a big part of your family photos, so you want to be sure to choose outfits that will look good with your surroundings. Once we decide on the location for your session, I can give you some recommendations on colors that will look great with the surroundings. But if you want some inspiration now, here are some color combos that look great in the spring time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pastels look great for spring family photos, but so do bolder colors. Pick one person’s outfit first, and then decide the rest based on what would look good with that. And remember that I’m here to help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Portland locations are good for spring family photos?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I send out a location guide when you book a session with me, and it has all my favorite spots for family photos around Portland and beyond. But aside from that, I can help brainstorm some beautiful places if spring flowers are your goal. Depending on when you want to book your session, I will give suggestions based on what is in bloom. Here is a list of some different location possibilities for your spring family photos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
