Peak autumn in Maryland is always a bit of a moving target. If you live in Howard County, you know the drill: one week the leaves are green, the next week you’re hoping a sudden gust of wind doesn’t sweep away every bit of golden light before your photo session!
Despite Maryland’s unpredictable foliage timeline this year, October delivered pure magic for our Annual Fall Mini Sessions at The Howard County Conservancy. The historic grounds, rolling fields, and vibrant tree line provided the perfect backdrop, allowing us to capture that rich, warm autumn color spectrum at its absolute height.
9 Families, Countless Memories
We had the absolute joy of welcoming 9 incredible families to the Mt. Pleasant Campus for this round of minis. During our sessions, we took full advantage of the deep golds, warm ambers, and crisp rustic oranges surrounding the trails. Every high-resolution digital collection delivered via Pic-Time highlighted what makes autumn photo shoots so special: sweet family cuddles wrapped up against the crisp October chill, playful toddlers stomping through fallen leaves, and genuine, effortless connections.
Minis are always such a fun, fast-paced way to update your family portraits, create annual keepsake memories, and snap that ideal image for your upcoming holiday cards.
Next Up: Christmas Minis in November!
With October’s golden leaves wrapped up, we are officially shifting gears into the holiday season!
