Stunning Fall Photography to Celebrate the First of the Season
ByMarie Leslie
Today is the first day of fall in the northern hemisphere. Fall is one of my favorite seasons. Besides the opportunity for stunning fall photography as the leaves change color, and the sky turns bluer, it’s harvest time. And that means making and eating delicious treats like caramel apples, cider, pumpkin pie, and putting up the garden’s bounty to enjoy long into winter.
Fall also means Halloween and Thanksgiving with some of our favorite treats, and always with some of our favorite people.
Fall holidays are all about fun, family, food, and connection. And did I mention those beautiful colored leaves that allow me to enjoy creating stunning fall photography?
As I prepare to head up in the beautiful Colorado Rockies where the leaves are turning, here are a few of my favorite fall photos from the past few seasons.
What’s your favorite part of fall?
