Fall Mini Sessions at Moncus Park


Fall is one of the best times of year for family photos, and Moncus Park in Lafayette, Louisiana is such a beautiful location for seasonal portraits. With open green spaces, natural scenery, and plenty of room for families to move and interact, it creates a relaxed setting for warm, timeless fall photos.

This year, Shannon Ashmore Photography is offering Fall Mini Sessions at Moncus Park for families, couples, siblings, and children who want updated portraits without booking a full-length session.


What Is a Fall Mini Session?

Fall mini sessions are shorter portrait sessions designed to give you beautiful, professional photographs in a quick and relaxed experience.

Each fall mini session is approximately 20 minutes, making it a great option for families with young children, couples, siblings, or anyone wanting updated seasonal photos.

Even in a shorter session, we can capture a variety of images, including classic portraits, candid moments, walking photos, laughter, cuddles, and those little in-between moments that make your family unique.

Why Moncus Park Is Perfect for Fall Photos


Moncus Park in Lafayette offers a beautiful outdoor setting for fall family photography.

The open areas and natural surroundings give us plenty of options for both posed and candid photographs while keeping the session comfortable and relaxed.

We can use different areas of the park to create variety within your gallery while still keeping everything cohesive.

Whether you want soft, natural family portraits or fun photos with movement and personality, Moncus Park gives us the perfect backdrop.

Perfect for Holiday Cards and More

Fall mini sessions are especially popular for families who want updated photos before the holidays.

Your images are perfect for:

Christmas and holiday cards

Updated family portraits

Framed photographs for your home

Gifts for grandparents and family members

Social media

Annual family albums

Milestone photos of your children

Children and families change so quickly, and having professional photos taken regularly gives you a way to preserve each season of life.

What to Wear for Fall Mini Sessions at Moncus Park

One of the most common questions before a fall session is, “What should we wear?”

For fall family photos, I recommend coordinating your outfits rather than matching everyone exactly.

Colors that photograph beautifully outdoors include cream, ivory, tan, camel, rust, olive green, burgundy, brown, denim, and muted blues.

Try choosing two or three colors and building each family member's outfit around that palette.

Different textures, such as sweaters, denim, dresses, boots, and layered pieces, can also help your photos feel warm and natural.

Most importantly, wear something comfortable that still feels like you.


Relaxed and Natural Family Photography


You do not need to know how to pose before arriving at your session.

I will guide you through everything.

I'll help with where to stand, where to look, what to do with your hands, and how to interact naturally with your family.

Of course, we'll capture the traditional photo with everyone looking at the camera, but we'll also create images with movement, laughter, connection, and genuine expressions.

Those natural moments are often the photographs families love the most.

What If My Children Don't Cooperate?

Please don't worry if your children don't want to sit still or smile perfectly the entire time.

That's normal.

Children do not have to behave perfectly for us to create beautiful photographs.

Instead of expecting little ones to stand in one place for the entire session, I keep things moving and encourage interaction between parents, children, and siblings.

Sometimes the sweetest photographs happen when we're not trying to force a smile at all.

My goal is to make your Moncus Park fall mini session feel easy, comfortable, and fun.
