Fall Family Photos at the North Carolina Museum of Art Park

Fall is a very popular time of year for family photos, and for good reason. The beautiful foliage in North Carolina this time of year can make for stunning backdrops, and the weather is usually beautiful! The NC Museum of Art Park has particularly gorgeous landscaping which is why it’s one my most requested Raleigh family photo locations.

This location was perfect for this beautiful family because they also had maternity photos done here the year before as a part of their Baby’s First Year Package. It was such a joy to come back, now with precious baby boy in tow!

Here’s one of my favorite images from their maternity session:

I mean, what an amazing glow up, right? This is what fall family photo dreams are made of!

Baby Graham was a little unsure at the beginning of our session, but once he got to stand up and play he brought all the smiles and was SO adorable! I think he loved his solo shots – what a sweet little guy.

Their gorgeous golden retriever has done so great with all of their photos, and loves to have his time to shine! He cracked me up trying to come over for pets and kisses while I was taking photos which turned into the most adorable photobomb.

As you can see, I aim to provide a lot of variety with Fall family photos so we’ll generally do a variety of playful poses. I love to include a few traditional smile at the camera shots, as well as lots of snuggles, kisses, dancing – whatever gets baby smiling!

I was completely in love with baby boy’s outfit – the overalls and sweater combo was just perfect for this setting! If you need help selecting outfits for Fall family photos I have a great guide that walks you through the exact steps that I take when choosing clothing items for my own family. I also encourage families to send me photos of items they’re considering. I’m happy to give feedback on what will photograph best!

I absolutely love photographing Fall family sessions outdoors and recommend booking 4-6 months in advance to ensure availability. Please check out my family session details page to view my current pricing and to book your session. Don’t hesitate to send me an email with any questions!
