When should I book family photos in Spokane, Washington?

The answer to this question depends!

Typically outdoor family photography season is anywhere from late April through late October. I don’t typically recommend booking outdoor photos in November through March because the weather can be very unpredictable. Ideally, I recommend booking May through September, because you will have the best landscape options for backgrounds in Spokane.

If you have young kiddos, booking in late spring or late fall can be a great option. The sunset hours will fall earlier in the day during those times of the year which will keep your session from interfering with bedtime routines without sacrificing on sunset lighting.

Some clients like to book their sessions in May when all of the wildflowers are blooming around Spokane. Other clients love the bright leaves in autumn, which turn orange usually between the 3rd week of October and First week of November.

If you’re looking for in-home family photography, you can book at any time of the year in Spokane! Indoor sessions typically take place in late morning, because the lighting is most ideal during that time. This is a great option for families with young kiddos.
