Fall Mini Sessions at Housenick Memorial Park 🍁📸

Capturing Peak Autumn Colors in 15 Minutes of Magic

Fall lovers, rejoice! The most glorious season of the year is here, and so are Meghan Marie Photography’s Fall Mini Sessions! If the thought of golden leaves, crisp air, and cozy family photos makes your heart skip a beat, you’re in the right place.

Held at Janet Johnston Housenick & William D. Housenick Memorial Park (yes, it's a mouthful, but trust me, it's gorgeous), these 15-minute mini sessions are the perfect way to capture your family at the peak of fall color—without spending hours convincing toddlers (or reluctant spouses) to cooperate.

Let’s talk about what to expect, how to prepare, and why these sessions are a must-have for your yearly photo tradition!

🍂 Why Book a Fall Mini Session?

1️⃣ The Foliage is chef’s kiss 🍁
Late October is peak fall foliage in the Lehigh Valley, and this park is an autumn dream. Think golden, red, and orange leaves, charming wooded paths, and rustic fences that make the perfect backdrop.

2️⃣ Quick & Painless (Especially for Dads & Kids) ⏳
Fifteen minutes is all we need to get a mix of posed, candid, and personality-filled shots. No long, drawn-out sessions—just a fun, easy experience that even the most photo-resistant family members can handle.

3️⃣ Perfect for Holiday Cards & Gifts 🎁
Let’s be real—you’ll need a photo for your holiday card, and grandma will expect framed pictures. This is your chance to get them done early (and with peak fall vibes).

🍂 What to Expect

📍 Location: Janet Johnston Housenick & William D. Housenick Memorial Park (Bethlehem, PA)
⏳ Session Length: 15 minutes (yes, we move fast, but I’ve got this down to a science!)
📷 What You Get: A mix of family, sibling, couple, and individual shots—all in that warm, golden-hour glow.
🎨 Backdrop: Stunning fall foliage, winding paths, and rustic wooden fences that scream fall aesthetic.

🍂 How to Prepare for Your Session

✅ Coordinate, Don’t Match – Think earthy tones, deep jewel colors, and cozy neutrals that complement the warm autumn hues. Layers like cardigans, flannels, and scarves add texture and visual interest!

✅ Keep It Comfortable – If your shoes hurt, it will show in your face. Wear comfy, stylish footwear that works on grassy areas. Bonus: Cute boots = instant fall vibes.

✅ Prepare the Kids (and Grown-Ups) 😂 – Hype them up! Let them know it’s a quick, fun session with time for tickles, hugs, and maybe even leaf-throwing. Bribes? Totally encouraged (mini marshmallows work wonders).

✅ Arrive a Few Minutes Early – With only 15 minutes per session, being on time is crucial. Plan to arrive early so everyone is relaxed and ready.

✅ Relax & Have Fun – The best photos happen when you’re laughing, playing, and genuinely enjoying the moment. Don’t stress about forcing smiles—I’ll handle the magic.
