2.Go to the Pumpkin Patch
Taking pictures at your local pumpkin patch is a no brainer. The perfect fall photo props are literally growing out of the ground. Plus, pumpkin patches usually have other fun attractions like hay rides or a corn maze that provide excellent photo ops.

3.Pick Some Apples
Similar to the pumpkin patch, an apple orchard is a great photoshoot destination. Take some candid photos of you and your friends picking apples, walking through the orchard or sipping apple cider.

4.Throw Leaves
This classic fall photo idea will never get old (and you're never too old to partake). Get your photographer or self-timer to take a ton of photos in rapid succession while you throw the leaves in the air and you're sure to get a few that turn out just right. Just don't forget to smile!

5.Make a Leaf Crown
We love a good DIY project and this leaf crown idea is to die for. Round up the prettiest vibrant leaves and glue or tie them to a headband. You can go for a monochromatic look or incorporate all the fall colors.

6.Get Spooky
Fall and Halloween are pretty much interchangeable, right? You'll definitely want to take some spooky photos before the great pumpkin returns. Of course you'll take pictures in your Halloween costume, but you can also incorporate Halloween props into any of your fall photoshoot. Throw on a witches hat, put on some scary makeup, pose with a jack-o-lantern or throw a sheet over your head to look like a ghost. You could even do a photoshoot in a cemetery to add a subtle spooky vibe without having to use props.

7.Warm Up By The Fire
Fall is the best time to cozy up next to a campfire and it also makes for a great photo op. You can play around with the fire light and smoke to create some really cool and unique pictures. Incorporate a flannel, hot chocolate, s'mores, or a fuzzy blanket to make your pics even better. You could even take candid photos of you building (or pretending to build) the fire to impress your friends with you outdoorsman skills.

8.Take the Wheelbarrow For a Spin
Next time you're raking leaves, hop in your wheelbarrow for a fun photoshoot. There are so many great and easy options for this idea! You can pose in an empty wheelbarrow, have a loved one push you, pose in a wheelbarrow full of leaves or push a wheelbarrow full of pumpkins.

9.Pose On a Hay Bale
Something about hay bales just screams fall. If you've got access to a few they are a great way to spice up a photoshoot. You can sit on top of one, lean against it or use them to frame your backdrop.

10.Get Lost in a Corn Maze
Who doesn't love a good corn maze? Make the most of the hours spend look for the exit by having an impromptu photo shoot in the maze. Have a friend take pictures of you walking towards the camera inside the maze. The maze will provide the perfect backdrop and naturally frame your photos. Let The Children of the Corn inspire you or go for something a little more PG, either way these pics are sure to be a hit.

11.Incorporate a Smoke Bomb
Incorporating a smoke bomb into your fall photo shoot can really take your pictures to the next level, but use caution. Throw a smoke bomb inside of a jack-o-lantern and let the smoke pour out of the holes or hold it in your hand to add a pop of color to your photos. Of course, go for a fall color like orange, yellow, red or purple.

12.Show Off Your Shoes
If you're having a bad hair day or just really want to show off your cute new boots, this is the idea for you. Stand in a pile of colorful leaves or pick one or two favorites to showcase on the asphalt. Simply snap a photo of your feet standing next to whatever items you want to include in your photo. You can also strategically place a pumpkin or some mums on the ground instead of using leaves.

13.Pose With Festive Food
Food is another great prop for your fall photo shoot. Some of the most photogenic fall foods include caramel or candy apples, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, or a hot drink like apple cider or a pumpkin spice latte. Not only will you get some great Instagram content, but you'll also enjoy a yummy fall treat.

14.Cover Your Face With a Leaf
If you're lucky enough to find the perfect fall leaf, you've got to show it off to all your followers. Once you have found the leaf all you have to do is hold your arm out with leaf in hand to get a great photo. The lead will cover your face but everyone will still see your cute outfit!

15. Hit the Beach
That's right! You might not think of spending time at the beach once the weather cools off, but it's a beautiful backdrop for family photos year-round. Plus, the light can be beautiful in the fall.

16. Get the Grandparents Involved
Of course, grandma and grandpa always love getting photos of their loved ones. But this year, involve them in the photoshoot. Everyone will treasure the memory.

17. Take a Bike Ride
This idea is perfect for an active family or couple. Find a pretty path with fall color and set off on a ride. Have a friend or photographer get some action shots along the way. Bonus: You won't hear complaints of "we're bored" from the kids.

18. Prop Up Your Feet by the Fire
This is truly a simple idea. No need to worry about finding the perfect outfit or doing your hair. Just have each family member don a festive pair of socks and prop up their feet by the fire.
