Why is Spring the Best Time For your Pasadena Family Photoshoot?
Pasadena Family Photoshoot with Little Blue World Photography
There’s no better time in Pasadena for your Family Photoshoot than Spring. From lush landscapes to perfect weather, spring offers a variety of benefits for your family photos, making it an ideal choice for updating your annual portraits. Here’s a few reasons why we absolutely adore this time of year!
The Blooms
Spring comes with a fantastic bonus: the plethora of gorgeous flowers and greenery that transforms landscapes into stunning vistas. Whether it's the vibrant wildflowers or the lush grasses, this scenery sets the stage for breathtaking family portraits. With its variety of textures and colors, spring infuses your photos with depth and dimension, creating a pretty magical ambience. Especially when we shoot in the evenings with just the perfect light!
The Perfect Weather
Spring in Southern California gifts us with gorgeous weather, usually resting comfortably in the 70s. Unlike the blistering heat of summer or the erratic rain of winter, spring provides the perfect backdrop for outdoor family photoshoots. While the valleys and mountains boast the best textures and floral displays, they can unfortunately scorch up to the 100s in summer and fall. Opting for a session in the mild spring weather ensures you and your kids stay cozy and relaxed, guaranteeing those picture-perfect smiles we all love to capture!
Versatile Outfit Options
Thanks to the delightful spring weather, you've got a whole world of outfit choices for your family photoshoot. Whether you're rocking flowy dresses or layering up with lightweight pieces, spring fashion lets you flaunt your unique style while staying comfy and flexible. This is really helpful with young children, especially those with sensory issues around specific clothing, like long sleeves and turtlenecks.
Beat The Holiday Rush
Although fall is commonly linked with family photoshoots, opting for spring sessions comes with major perks. In Southern California, fall doesn't roll around until later in the year, usually nearing November. Booking your family photoshoot during spring puts you ahead of the game for those urgent Christmas card deadlines. Plus, you'll get perfect weather and lush scenery; autumn shots often feature dry brush from the scorching summer heat!
Safety At Your Session
Spring family photoshoots come with an added layer of safety. In Southern California, rain tends to hold off until later in the year, typically December (and sometimes even January). As a result, dry brush and warm weather linger longer into fall. In spring, daytime temperatures remain mild while nights stay cool, deterring insects and of course, rattlesnakes. This creates a safer outdoor environment for your family session in the valleys and mountains.
Head To The Beach
The beach is also a fantastic location for spring family portraits, offering a refreshing change of scenery and a fun experience for your children while taking pictures. As the weather warms up in summer, people flock to the coast, resulting in larger crowds in the background of your pictures. By shooting in the spring before the beaches get too crowded, we're able to capture intimate moments with your family against the ocean minus all of the crowds and big colorful beach umbrellas.
With its blooming flowers, perfect weather, versatile outfit options, and safety advantages, spring offers a perfect setting for creating your annual family portraits.
