Family photography captures a moment in time alongside those you care for most so you never forget that moment. They are treasured memories, placed on a wall or a mantle of a specific time and place. More often than not, the family members are inexperienced models in front of the camera so it’s our job to make them feel comfortable and at ease. Natural images are the best, but posture and expression direction must be given.
Here are some of our tips to prepare for a photo shoot with your family:
1. Pick a location for your photos. Perhaps you can select a place that is more meaningful to you as a family. When in doubt, it is a good idea to pick a park or an open, outdoor area which is always weather permitting in Vancouver.
2. Is there a theme for your photoshoot or do you have an idea of what kind of photoshoot you’d like? Do you want a relaxed shoot at home or will there be addition of props?
3. Pick a date at least a couple of weeks in advance so you can prepare your appearance. Family photoshoots Vancouver are pictures that you will have for life, so put some time into making them the best they can be. Perhaps this might be getting the family a haircut.
4. Plan your outfits – if there is a theme to your photoshoot, coordinate your wardrobe by selecting complementary patterns, or colors. Bring a change of clothes if you want more than one look. It is important to have the whole family’s outfits clean, ironed, and ready the night before the photo shoot.
5. Relax, have fun, and enjoy the photoshoot. It’s important to have a mixture of both candid and posed pictures for the photoshoot. Try not to focus on what you want the result to be and just enjoy the experience.
