2026 Fall Family Photo Session

Are you thinking about your 2026 Fall family photo session? Wondering about a cute location for your family with small children? Slate Run Historical Farm might be right for you. I photographed one of my favorite families last week at the park and even with getting caught in the rain, it turned out so cute!

Things to keep in mind for doing a session at the farm:

Farm Hours: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Tues, Wed, Thurs, and Sunday. 9-6 on Saturday. and closed on Mondays.

There are live animals so there may be mud.

Be respectful of the animals and the people working there.

It does get busy as the day goes on, so earlier is better.

Tips for planning your outfits:

1. Color coordinate within a palette. This family below did a great job of not being too matchy-matchy but yet it all still looked cohesive. Also, these were great fall colors!
2. Make sure your kids are comfortable. If they don’t like ruffles and elastic bands, stay away from that. Or if one child wants to express their own personality, let them!
3. Patterns make that person stand out more than the others. There’s nothing wrong with that, but just be conscious of it and ok with it 🙂
4. Shoes tend to get wet on morning and Fall shoots. Be ok with that or wear shoes that will work….Or go barefooted 🙂
