Feel like a kid again as you jump into giant leaf piles during your photoshoot! Playing in the leaves is such a fun idea for an active, colorful, and unique autumn-themed photo sesh. If you don’t have an abundance of leaves in your yard or want to awkwardly rake some up in a public park — rent a Peerspace venue surrounded by deciduous trees for your photoshoot. Just make sure you let the Peerspace host know your plans so they don’t get rid of all the leaves before your shoot!
