If you’ve ever asked yourself when the best time is to schedule your family photos in Louisville, let me tell you: spring and early summer win my heart every time.
As a family photographer, I work all year long — but there’s something extra special about this season. After months of gray skies, chilly temps, and being cooped up indoors, spring and early summer feel like a deep breath of fresh air. The trees bloom, the grass turns lush and green, and golden hour stretches a little longer. Everything — and everyone — just seems to come alive.
Why I Love Shooting Family Photos This Time of Year
- Nature shows off. Louisville’s parks and neighborhoods are in full bloom — think cherry blossoms, dogwoods, tulips, and soft, dreamy backdrops that don’t need any props.
- Mild weather = happy kids (and parents!). No one’s sweating or shivering. Everyone’s just… comfortable. And trust me, that makes a world of difference when trying to get natural, relaxed smiles.
- Golden hour magic. The light during this time of year is soft, warm, and oh-so-flattering. Evening sessions especially have that dreamy glow that makes photos feel timeless.
- Everyone’s ready to get outside. After winter hibernation, spring brings a natural energy. Families are excited, kids want to play, and that joy shines through in every image.
Book Early — I Fill Up Fast in Spring and Summer!
Here’s the deal: because this season is so ideal for photos, it’s also my busiest time of year. My calendar fills up quickly — especially for weekend sessions. If spring or early summer photos are on your list this year, now’s the time to snag your spot.
