4. Pick apples in an orchard
Are pumpkins not your thing? That’s totally cool. There’s another fall staple that’s ripe for the picking this time of year — apples!
Head to an orchard for your mini session and snap photos of yourself picking fresh and delicious apples. Not only can you take some adorable photos in the autumn sunshine, but you can also enjoy apples right off the tree, when they’re at their best.
And if you want a little more privacy, check out this cozy Peerspace cabin next to an orchard.
5. Show off your fall fashion in an urban loft
Of course, no one says you have to hang out outdoors to capture autumn vibes. Staging your mini session indoors can give you more control over the lighting and backdrops. Plus, you don’t have to brave the chill in the air, either.
Check out Peerspace for cozy photo studios you can use for your session, like this rustic urban loft in Chattanooga, TN. The rich-toned exposed bricks will lend an elegant flair to fall fashion and let your unique sense of style shine.
6. Bake Autumn treats together
Want to put all those apples you just harvested to good use? Try staging a baking mini shoot! How cute would it be to snap photos of yourself or your kids whipping up tasty snacks in an aesthetic kitchen?
Check out Peerspace for rentable kitchen sets or houses with gourmet kitchens that you can rent by the hour, like this warm and cozy kitchen in Los Angeles, CA.
7. Take photos with a vintage car
Bring a touch of Americana to your photo shoot with this fall mini session idea.
Find a Peerspace studio with a retro car, like this rustic barn with a vintage truck, and use it to stage cool fall photos. If you have little ones that are fans of cars, they’ll love getting to see and hang out with a car that looks just like one of their toys. And you can capture photos of their adorable expressions.
8. Add a water feature
Water isn’t just for summertime. While it might be a bit too cold to dive in, staging your mini session by a lake or pond can lend some gorgeous dreamy vibes to your shoot. The sparkling water can reflect the beauty of the autumn foliage around you, and provide an upgraded setting for an outdoor mini session.
Keep an eye out for Peerspace studios with a water feature on-site, like this luxurious home with a backyard pond in Chicago.
9. Wander in an autumn forest
If you want plenty of lush, vibrant fall foliage in your mini session, you’ll find plenty of it in a local forest.
You can go artistic and moody with introspective shots among the trees, or playful and fun with pics playing in piles of fallen leaves. You can locate nearby woods with the National Forest Foundation’s “find a forest” search engine.
