Fall Photos Make Great Christmas Cards!

I love this beautiful time of year!  With the leaves changing from green to golden yellows and oranges, there is a certain elegance that is portrayed in the scenery of our everyday lives.  Not only are these colours beautiful to look at, but they also make stunning backdrops for family photos.  Some of the best Christmas cards I have received were ones that included a family picture that was taken during the fall.

Need some inspiration for where you can take fall family photos?  Here are five location ideas for you to consider.  A professional photographer can help you find the perfect location!

In a park – Find a park with trees.  The leaves can still be attached or they can be on the ground; either way, the photos look great!  It makes it a lot more fun for kids when there are leaves to play in!

In a field – Wide open, grassy spaces can be great for group shots, or action shots, if the kids enjoy running around.  Corn fields are also fun locations to shoot fall photos!

By a river – The reflections of nature in the water create a beautiful backdrop for your photos.

At a farm – Live in the country or know someone who does?  Opt to take your photos in the country by a big red barn, with some horses, or simply along a wooden fence.

At a pumpkin patch – Some of the cutest photos are found taken at a pumpkin patch.

Official Photographer for Womanition – New Magazine Release!

Cara FullertonOne of my favourite parts of being a photographer is the opportunity to photograph other like-minded women professionals.  This year, and for the past 5  years, I have had the amazing opportunity to be Calgary’s official photographer for Womanition.  Womanition puts out an annual magazine showcasing brilliant women and their businesses.  To grab a copy of the online version of this magazine, please click here.  You can also look for the hard copy on Magazine stands throughout the city.

If you have not checked out the Womanition events or the magazine, I encourage you to do so.  I had a fun time being around all these amazing women; hearing their stories, and capturing their true personalities through professional portraits.  Each Calgary business woman’s photograph in the magazine was taken by Miko Photography.  To book your own professional headshot, please contact us today.

Here’s a few pictures from the magazine.  To check out all of them, please go to the online magazine here.
