So many things happen in the spring and summer, especially for those who have a graduate in their family.  Maybe it’s a high school graduate, a College/University grad, a Grade 9 grad, a Kindergarten grad, or maybe your child is graduating from one level to the next in an extra-curricular activity.  Whatever the case may be, graduation is an exciting transition.  It is about taking the next step into something new after accomplishing a significant milestone.

Sometimes it is too easy to get caught up in the busyness of life, and we forget to capture the memorable moments such as graduation.  You are proud of your kids for reaching new goals, and those memories should not be forgotten.  That is why we recommend graduation photos, and to make things even easier, below is a list we have compiled to help make these photos that much more efficient to organize.

As any mom knows, getting family photos done can feel like a daunting task.  That’s why we’ve come up with some easy tips and tricks for capturing some great siblings photos!  Check them out:

1)  Try to be as calm and prepared for the photo session as you can.  Your kids will pick up on the stress if you are getting overwhelmed leading up to, and during, picture time.  Do something as basic as preparing outfits a few days before so that when the day comes, getting ready is not as difficult.

I love this beautiful time of year!  With the leaves changing from green to golden yellows and oranges, there is a certain elegance that is portrayed in the scenery of our everyday lives.  Not only are these colours beautiful to look at, but they also make stunning backdrops for family photos.  Some of the best Christmas cards I have received were ones that included a family picture that was taken during the fall.

Need some inspiration for where you can take fall family photos?  Here are five location ideas for you to consider.  A professional photographer can help you find the perfect location!

In a park – Find a park with trees.  The leaves can still be attached or they can be on the ground; either way, the photos look great!  It makes it a lot more fun for kids when there are leaves to play in!

In a field – Wide open, grassy spaces can be great for group shots, or action shots, if the kids enjoy running around.  Corn fields are also fun locations to shoot fall photos!

By a river – The reflections of nature in the water create a beautiful backdrop for your photos.

At a farm – Live in the country or know someone who does?  Opt to take your photos in the country by a big red barn, with some horses, or simply along a wooden fence.

At a pumpkin patch – Some of the cutest photos are found taken at a pumpkin patch.
