The fall season is coming soon. I love this season for all the changing colours of the tree leaves, fresh apples and squashes, and pumpkin-spiced treats. One way to celebrate and commemorate the season is by taking some seasonal photos of your baby or perhaps of the family. These ideas for a fall baby photo will inspire you and help capture precious memories of the season.
1. In a Pumpkin Patch
Take a family trip to a pumpkin patch to pick out some pumpkins for decoration and baking for the season. While there, take photos of your baby or the family in the pumpkin patch. It is the perfect scene for a fall baby photo.
2. In the Fallen Leaves
A picture of your little one or even your family in the beautiful colours of the fresh fallen fall leaves could be taken in your backyard if you have them or at a local park. Throwing some leaves up in the air could make for some fun family photos. Your bunch of joy sitting or bundled up over the leaves would make a beautiful fall baby photo to remember the season.
3. With Gourds
Another idea is to buy seasonal gourds to lie around your bundled baby for an easy and adorable fall baby photo. Use a variety of coloured and shaped gourds for a fun and quirky picture.
4. With a Plaid Blanket
A plaid blanket is a fall staple. A simple photograph with a plaid blanket laid out over the fall leaves for a family photo or with your baby bundled in one would make a beautiful seasonal keepsake.
5. Baby in the Pumpkin
This modern, classic fall baby photo is popular for a reason—it’s adorable. Buy a pumpkin a little shorter than your baby’s abdomen and cut two holes big enough for their legs to stick out the bottom where the pumpkin meets the ground. This can only be attempted with babies who can sit up independently.
6. With a Classic Truck
If you know someone with a classic truck, they can make beautiful photo props. Fill the back with pumpkins, or scatter some around the truck for a gorgeous, classic fall photo background.
7. Apple Orchard
Apple picking is a fun fall family activity. While you are there, picking your fall sweets, you can use the orchard as a pretty background for photos of the baby and the family. You can get a fall activity, some sweet treats, and a seasonal photo for your money and time taking a trip to an orchard. Win-win-win!
8. Halloween Costume
Taking photos of your little one in their Halloween costume is a classic and joyful keepsake. If you can get some Halloween or fall decorations in the background, it will add to the seasonal portrayal even more.
9. With Hay Bales
Hay bales are a great seasonal prop for some fun fall photos. You can use them in the background or use a few rectangular or cubed bales as a seat for family photos with the baby. Some additional props complimenting your hay bales could be a neutral blanket thrown over them to form a comfy bench, some pumpkins around them, or some dried corn stalks coming up behind them.
10. Baby Water Bucket with floating gourds or apples
I love photos of babies in a warm water bucket or basin with seasonal items floating around them. For a fall baby photo, I would put some apples or small gourds to float in the water basin with the infant. Babies who sit up independently and already enjoy the bathtub would do best for photos like this. I would get another adult to assist me in getting pictures of my baby involving water so that one of us can be close to the baby.
I hope these fall baby photo ideas inspire you to capture precious memories with your little one during this beautiful season. Whether it’s a fun day at the pumpkin patch, a cozy photo shoot at home, or an adventure in the apple orchard, these moments will become cherished keepsakes you’ll look back on with a smile. Embrace the season and create some beautiful memories with your baby and family. Happy fall photo-taking!
