Fall Family Photos in Omaha & Lincoln: Why This Season Is Worth Capturing

Family doesn't always fit into one photograph

A family isn't just one perfectly posed portrait with everyone looking at the camera.

It's the relationships between the people.

It's mom with her kids.
It's a grandparent with a grandchild.
It's siblings laughing together.
It's the grown-ups who don't always get photographed.
It's the little moments that happen when everyone is simply together.

That's one of the things I love about family sessions.

We can photograph the whole family—and then make time for the smaller connections within it, too.

One session.

So many stories.

Take a recent family session.

We photographed the family together, but we also took time for the individual relationships and personalities within the family.

A portrait of the whole group tells one story.

Mom and the kids tell another.

The grandparent and grandchild tell another.

And then there are the little moments that happen in between.

Years from now, those photographs won't just remind you what everyone looked like. They'll remind you how your family fit together during this season of life.

Why fall is such a beautiful time for family portraits

Fall gives us a gorgeous natural setting without needing to manufacture one.

The warm colors of the trees create a beautiful backdrop, while the softer autumn light can give portraits that warm, timeless feeling.

Fall is especially beautiful because its natural colors give you so many options for building a soft, cohesive wardrobe without everyone wearing the same thing.

And you don't have to dress everyone in matching outfits.

Think about coordinating colors and textures instead:

• Creams and warm neutrals

• Soft greens, browns and rust tones

• Denim

• Sweaters and layers

• Simple patterns mixed with solids

Most importantly, wear something that feels like you.

Your family photos should look like your family—not a perfectly coordinated Pinterest board.

What happens during a KSI family session?

You don't have to know how to pose.

That's my job.

I'll guide you when we need to create those classic portraits, but I'll also give you room to interact, move, laugh, and be yourselves.

Kids don't have to stand perfectly still.

They can explore.

They can play.

They can be silly.

And sometimes the photograph that ends up being your favorite is the one that happened between the poses.

Because your family is changing.

The little girl who still wants to hold your hand.

The teenager who is suddenly taller than you.

The grandbaby who won't stay little for long.

The people who make up your family right now.

This is the version of your family worth remembering.

Not just the perfect photograph.

The people.

The relationships.

The season of life you're in together.
