Family photo tips/ideas

Family Photos

• Why?

  Is it a long overdue family portraits, a holiday season, a family milestone, new addition to the family? These are just a few reasons.

• Theme

  What theme are you going for? It can be just casual, formal, 80’s, 90’s, etc. It is all up to you.

• Location

  The location is something you should then decide on, in my opinion. Do you want the shoot to be indoor or outdoor, will it be in the city/urban or county/rural and does it go well with your theme?

• Clothing

  Everyone should wear matching clothing. You do not have to match 100% but your clothing should compliment one another, after all it is a family photoshoot. However if there are multiple families because of marriage for example the James, the Williams, and the Smarts, each family can wear different colors. The Smarts can wear red, the Williams can wear white and the James can wear blue.

• Day of

  Make sure everyone had something to eat a little before the shoot especially the kids. Give yourself extra time to get to the location, so if there’s heavy traffic you’re still there on time because it is something that helps you to stay relaxed. Last and most importantly, just have fun and be the happy and loving family you are.

• Conclusion

  Family photoshoots are all about unity, laughter and happiness. The photographer is just there to capture those moments for you. So just be prepared and enjoy.
