Spring is here, and you know what that means? It’s prime time for a photoshoot! Before you get caught up in the chaos of summer vacations and pumpkin spice season, let me tell you why spring is the time to get those perfect pictures—especially in the Bay Area.

1. Flower Fields Galore 🌸🌼🌷

Want to look like you just stepped out of a fairytale? Spring has your back. The Bay Area is bursting with stunning flower fields, from vibrant wildflowers in Sunol to golden poppies in Antelope Valley (yes, that one’s a little drive, but worth it). Imagine yourself twirling in a field of blooms with the golden hour light hitting just right—talk about main character energy!

2. All the Colors, All the Backdrops 🎨

Spring isn’t just about flowers—it’s about COLOR. The hills are still green, the skies are bright blue, and there’s no weird, dried-up, everything-is-brown situation like in the late summer/fall. Whether you want a soft pastel vibe or a dramatic, bold contrast, spring delivers.

3. Your Favorite Photographer is Actually Available 📸

Let’s be real: waiting until fall to book a photoshoot is like trying to get Taylor Swift tickets the day before the concert. Fall is the busiest season for photographers (you know, the holiday card rush), but in spring? They’re way less booked up. That means more flexibility, better scheduling, and more time for you to get the shot without feeling rushed.

4. No Sweating or Freezing Your Face Off ❄️🔥

Spring weather is chef’s kiss—no melting under the summer sun (no shiny sweats dripping off your faces in the pictures), no shivering in a sweater you wore just for the aesthetic. It’s that perfect in-between where you can wear flowy dresses, cute fits, and not feel like you’re suffering for the sake of looking good.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your best outfit (or from my clients' closet) and book that shoot with your favorite photographer before everyone else catches on. Every spring, I offer mini sessions at various breathtaking locations with stunning backdrop that will WOW you, check out my booking site. Your future self (and Instagram feed) will thank you!
