What to Expect When Booking an Autumn Photoshoot

There’s something truly magical about autumn – the golden leaves, soft light, and cosy atmosphere make it one of the most beautiful times of year to capture memories with your family, horse or pet. If you’re considering booking a photoshoot this season, here’s exactly what you can expect from the process, from start to finish.

Choosing the Perfect Autumn Setting


You don’t need to worry about where to go – together, we’ll choose a location that works for you. Autumn colours are everywhere, from woodland paths and rolling fields to your own yard or favourite walking spot. I’ll help you pick a backdrop that makes the most of the season’s golden tones.

Tips on What to Wear and Bring

I’ll guide you on what works best on camera. For autumn, earthy colours, cosy layers, and neutral tones always complement the scenery beautifully. For pets, a smart collar, lead, or tidy bridle can make all the difference. I’ll also recommend bringing treats or toys to help keep your horse or dog relaxed and engaged during the session.

A Relaxed and Fun Photoshoot Experience


On the day, there’s no pressure – animals ( and children lol) can be unpredictable, and that’s perfectly okay! The best photos often come from natural moments: a gentle nuzzle from your horse, or your child and dog jumping into a pile of leaves. I’ll give you gentle direction if needed, but my main aim is to keep things stress-free and enjoyable for both you and your special ones.
