Five Reasons to Book Your Family Shoot Before Summer Hits

There’s something so beautiful about this season — everything’s coming to life again. The trees are waking up, little flowers are stretching toward the sun, and there’s that fresh, happy feeling in the air. It’s the perfect time to slow down, hold your people close, and capture some love-filled moments before the pace of summer picks up.

 

Here’s why I always encourage families to book their spring photo sessions before summer begins:

 

1. The Light is Pure Gold

Spring light has this soft, golden quality that wraps around your family like a warm hug. It flatters every skin tone and adds a natural glow that feels magical in photos. As a Kelowna family photographer, it’s one of my favorite times to shoot outdoors.

 

2. The World is in Bloom

Nature gives us the sweetest backdrops this time of year — cherry blossoms, flower-filled fields, and trees just bursting with color. It all feels so fresh, romantic, and full of life — just like the stories we’re telling.

 

3. Hearts Are Lighter in Spring

You can feel the energy shift. Kids are more playful, grownups feel more relaxed, and there's a joy that just bubbles up when you're outside together. That happiness shines through in every frame.

 

4. Summer Fills Up Quickly

Once the season changes, so does your schedule — vacations, BBQs, camps, weddings. Booking now means your session is set before the busyness begins, and your gallery will be ready just in time to share with loved ones.

 

5. Spring Style is Effortlessly Lovely

Light layers, floaty dresses, rolled-up sleeves, soft pastels — spring outfits are made for timeless photos. You don’t need to overthink it. Just come as you are, and we’ll create something beautiful.

 

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to capture your family’s love story, this is it. Let’s create something joyful and real together — something you’ll hold onto for years to come.

 

I can’t wait to see you in front of my lens.
