Savor the Season: Fall Campfire Photography Sessions
Campfires have a magical way of bringing people together and creating lasting memories. When people free themselves from distractions and the hustle of everyday life, in a beautiful natural setting, something magical happens. Expressions relax, shoulders untense and we forget the world in a way that allows us to experience family relationships on another level.
Fall Campfire Photography Sessions are the first of a brand new offering from Gabby Chapin Photography. A new series called: Savor the Season Sessions. These sessions are primed to capture the magic of your everyday life, whether it be around the campfire at your very own campsite this fall, in your home baking with your kids, or tending that beautiful garden you planted in hope just weeks ago. Savor the Season Sessions will bring families and couples together in a way that honors your unique story and perfectly messy everyday…bed head not excluded for those in Home Lifestyle Sessions!
I am SO excited to get the ball rolling, if you are too…you can click the button below to reserve your space this Fall. If you’d like to learn more about locations, timing, and how to make the most of a Fall Campfire Session, then keep reading…
Photo Session Locations
Let’s unplug and savor the season with our favorite people, all in a beautiful outdoor setting free from distractions and busyness. Picking the right location for your photoshoot is essential.
I realize not everyone has the outdoor physical space to create a campfire atmosphere so I am opening the door to two perfect locations, both set on private property so your family can enjoy the experience with no rush, crowds, or venue fees.
The scenic banks of the Amite River will allow you to feel the tranquil beauty and peace of simpler times. Otherwise, we can set up camp in front of the pines on the forested section of my property. As the crackling flames dance in the background, we’ll be set to have an experience around the campfire you won’t soon forget.
I will preserve sensory details, heartfelt connections, and vibrant emotions of the time spent with your loved ones. The location is one element in your images, while you and your family or loved ones are the stars that make the end results completely unique. Bring a bag of marshmallows to make s’mores, your favorite scary stories to read, and a warm blanket to cozy up in!
You may also choose to pick your own location for this fall family photo idea. If you have a special spot that is important to your whole family or to you as a couple, then it is worth considering! As long as you are together, relaxed (I’ll help with this part!), and surrounded by natural beauty, nothing will stop you from achieving unforgettable memories.
Capturing Moments
Capturing campfire moments is like placing a bit of nostalgia in a frame. There are a lot of moments that deserve to be preserved in the best way possible but nothing compares to seemingly ordinary moments spent with those we love most.
When I work, I chase moments when people are savoring their time together. When they are unplugged from the world but plugged into each other and things are allowed to unfold naturally, unforced. Moments of eye contact, laughter, snuggles, warm embraces, sometimes even tears that deserve a bit of comfort. Not a bit will be left out.
Planning activities that can be framed forever during the family or couple photography session is also important. Make sure you choose something that you all enjoy, so your photographs will portray honest and heartfelt joy. We won’t force a moment to happen.
When it comes to campfire photography sessions, you have a variety of options that can make your session wonderful. Some examples include:
- Telling a story by the campfire
- Enjoying hot chocolate and smores
- Gazing the stars
- Playing games around the campfire
How to Enjoy Your Photos After The Session?
I believe that printing your photos on beautiful paper or in an heirloom album is the best gift you can give your family. Your album will tell a story, and it is something that will last forever.
It goes without saying that digital formats are necessary so all of your images will first be delivered via online gallery with the option to download high-resolution files. Adding prints will only elevate the experience. You will have physical evidence of your fall campfire adventure. Moreover, it will give your children a sense of how meaningful and important family time is!
A printed photograph is a unique way of preserving visual memories. When done well, they also have the ability to save the emotions, sounds, and atmosphere of special moments shared with loved ones. Looking at your photographs later will take you back in time and bring back all those feelings you have experienced and more. It is for these reasons that I have created fall campfire photography sessions to enable families, couples, or even friends to relive their cherished times.
Pricing
These sessions begin at $525 with custom options available for longer lifestyle sessions or packages with print options included. You can choose what suits you best and create your memories the way you have envisioned. Please contact me to custom-tailor a price that serves you best.
If you are ready for your campfire photography adventure, please get in touch with me to book your fall shoot. Whether it is a couple or family photography session, I would love to create and capture an experience that will feel like a mini vacation!
