20 Ideas For Your Fall Documentary Family Sessions

All week I've been trying to think of something I don't like about fall, and, I've come up empty. The chill in the air, the gorgeous colors, sweaters and boots, football, and pumpkin everything. What's not to love?

Since it's my favorite time of year, I've compiled a list of some of my favorite fall activities, all of which would be perfect to document for your next family photo session.

  1. Go apple picking at a local orchard.

  2. Pick out the biggest pumpkin at the pumpkin patch.

  3. Check out a local fall festival.

  4. Take a walk through your favorite park and enjoy the fall foliage.

  5. Plant mums or a fall garden.

  6. Go on a hayride.

  7. Visit the farmer's market for some yummy fall veggies and autumn hued flowers.

  8. Get lost in a corn maze.

  9. Go camping.

  10. Head to your favorite bakery for some delicious fall treats.

  11. Go on a leaf walk around the neighborhood, and create some artwork with your collected fallen leaves.

  12. Bake a homemade pie - apple, pumpkin, and pecan are all fall classics, but feel free to get creative!

  13. Go on a picnic.

  14. Play a friendly game of touch football.

  15. Warm up with some apple cider.

  16. Make a scarecrow.
