5 Reasons to Take Your Family Pictures in Spring

Timing for Golden Hour: In March and early spring, the sun still rises a little later and sets a little earlier than in summer, making it easier to catch that dreamy golden glow without waking up at the crack of dawn or keeping little ones out too late.

Lush Green Hills of Marin – If you love those rolling green landscapes, spring is the time to capture them! By late May, Marin’s hills start turning golden, which has its own charm, but if you're dreaming of vibrant greenery, early spring is the best window before summer takes over.
Blooming Flowers Everywhere – Wildflowers are popping up, tree blossoms are in full bloom, and Golden Gate Park is alive with color! Whether you want a background of soft petals or a field of wildflowers, we can find the perfect spot to add a fresh and lively touch to your family portraits.

Less Crowded Photo Spots – Unlike fall, when everyone is scrambling for holiday card pictures, spring is a bit of a hidden gem for family sessions. You’ll have more space to explore, fewer distractions in the background, and a more relaxed experience without the rush of peak season.

A Fresh Start & Happy Vibes – After months of chilly weather, everyone is ready to shed the heavy coats and soak up the fresh spring air. Lighter outfits, longer days, and that renewed energy make for joyful, natural photos. It’s the perfect time to capture your family feeling refreshed, connected, and full of life!
