I met this family in a local Salem park for a Fall Family Mini Session. We chose this location specifically as it’s quieter with fewer people and distractions. They were also able to bring their dog to be included in the family photos since it’s a dog-friendly park. Even though we did the session in the second half of October the trees were still pretty green and the leaves hadn’t really started turning yet. Seems like fall color really starts to pop in November which is pretty late in the season for decent weather!
