Family portraits hold a special place in my heart. More than baby portraits or maternity portraits of mothers to be, l enjoy clicking family photographs.
Things to consider for a family photoshoot:
1) Timing
As a family photographer, l get most clients at the early stages of their families. After the first birthday of their babies and till their weddings no professional photography session takes place. But l can’t emphasize enough, on how you are missing out on capturing beautiful memories in the most amazing years in between.
2) lndoor v/s Outdoors
Family portraits can be taken indoors or outdoors depending on your preference.
3) Posed versus Candid
You can keep the portrait posed and polished versus natural and candid. Again a personal choice. Make sure to let your photographer know your preference.
4) What to wear to a family photography sessions?
Last but not the least is how to dress up for family pictures. Here are few tips:
a) Try to avoid too many clashing prints.
b) In one set of clothes colors should compliment each other. Think of it as a rooms color palette.
c) Don’t mix warm and cold tones.
d) Choose colors as per season.
