Those beautiful Autumn sunsets in Macedon Ranges | Emma Pender Photography

Family sessions in autumn with Emma Pender Photography

Although Summer is definitely the most requested season for family sessions, my personal preference is Autumn! The light is absolutely gorgeous and sets in the most perfect spot behind the trees. Secondly, the sun sets earlier, which means we can start sessions just before 4pm rather than around 7.30pm in summer. Anyone with kids knows that this can be a difficult time to get them to cooperate. While we’re talking about start times, you might be wondering why we have to start close to sunset. Of course we could do a midday session, but we find the soft light at the end of the day really flattering, rather than the bright afternoon sun which will create dark shadows and overexposed highlights on your faces.
Autumn certainly is a bit more chilly than Summer, but I personally think that layers and knitted clothing look amazing in photos…so don’t be afraid to rug up :)
