The Making of My Fall Mini-Shoots

When it came time for my Fall Mini-Shoot, we were one month into fall…but our leaves were still on summer vacation! Everything was still pretty green and wet…the opposite of what I had in mind for my Fall Mini-Shoot. But if I’ve learned anything in my 20 plus years as a photographer, you just have to go with with.

I’ve always thought floral arches were so beautiful at weddings. In fact, a good friend is the most amazing florist and posts beautiful images on her creations using arches. (You can see her work here.) So when I was brainstorming ways to bring in fall colors to my photos, I thought “Who says arches are just for wedding?!” I reached out to a brand-new local vendor, Our Wedding Cabinet, and sure enough, they had the exact arch I envisioned for my photoshoot.

After adding all the colorful foliage to the arch, it was hard not to fall in love :)
