When you think of spring, you might not be thinking that it’s time to take family photos. But, move over fall! Let me tell you why spring is the PERFECT time to update your family photos in Denver. Spring is often associated with new life, rebirth, and a fresh start. Just as you’re starting to open the windows to let the fresh breeze in, spring family photos breathe new life into the frames that hang on your walls. Here are several reasons why spring is the perfect time to update your family photos:
1. Fewer Thunderstorms
When you think of spring, rain might come to mind. But, as a Denver family photographer, I’ve noticed a pattern in the six years I’ve been in business. I encounter more thunderstorms over the summer and into early fall than in spring. Although weather in spring can be unpredictable at times, there are plenty of mild and sunny days in spring.
2. Moderate Temperatures
I’m not trying to knock the other seasons because I love serving clients in every season. But, spring can be one of the most comfortable seasons for family photos, especially if you want your husband to wear a suit jacket in your photos! Temperatures in Denver can soar well into the nineties over the summer, which can limit your outfit choices if you want to stay cool. Spring allows you to be more flexible with outfits and experiment with layers! And, as an added bonus, you don’t need to worry about getting sweat stains on your family photo outfits.
3. Fresh Greens
Once the greens start coming back, they are vibrant and make photos feel fresh and full of life. There are several color palettes that work well with greens that are flattering on all body types and skin tones. If you take your family photos during golden hour in the spring, the greens balance beautifully with the golden glow of the sun!
4. You’re Not Fighting For Space On a Busy Calendar
Summer and fall are popular times for updating family photos. And since many people are looking to take their photos around the same time, your photographer may not have as much availability during those seasons. You’ll likely have more dates to choose from if you update your family photos in the spring. Plus, summer is a popular time for family vacations. If you update your family photos before you go on your summer trips, that’s one less thing to add to your calendar during the busyness of summer.
It’s no secret that your family changes year-to-year, you’re watching it with your own eyes every day! Sometimes the changes are small, and sometimes they’re significant. Updating your family photos in Denver every spring allows you to see the progression of your family and freeze little snippets of time that you’ll look back on for the rest of your life. Updating your family photos doesn’t need to be a big production. It can be as simple or elaborate as you want it to be! What’s most important is documenting the details that define your story.
