Fall Colors Are Up Next!

Michigan's most popular photo season is right around the corner. Peak fall color in Metro Detroit typically arrives during the second and third weeks of October, but I photograph "fall colors" throughout the entire month of October. Different trees turn at different times, which means there's beautiful color to work with from early October through early November.

I have a variety of favorite fall locations throughout Plymouth, Northville, and Canton, and because I'm out photographing almost every day during the season, I'm always keeping tabs on where the best color is happening.

When Should I Book Fall Colors in Michigan?

The best timing depends on the look you're hoping for.

If you have a senior who wants a mix of late-summer greenery and fall color, early October can be perfect. You'll still have warm temperatures, comfortable evenings, and touches of fall color beginning to appear.

For families with babies or young children, I often recommend booking earlier in the season. The weather is usually milder, kids are more comfortable, and you'll still get plenty of beautiful autumn color.

If you're dreaming of those bold orange, red, and yellow leaves, mid-to-late October is typically your best bet.

Where Are the Best Places for Fall Photos?

Some of my favorite locations are tucked along Hines Drive in Northville, where the tree-lined paths create gorgeous color and light throughout October.

For late-season sessions, Cass Benton Park is always a showstopper. The colors there can be absolutely spectacular and often peak a little later than other locations.

One of the advantages of hiring a photographer is that you don't have to guess where the best color is. I'm constantly scouting locations and can recommend the perfect spot based on the timing of your session.
