How to Prepare for the Perfect

Family Photo Session?

Some Helpful Tips for You!

Leave the Studio• A family photograph

becomes more meaningful if it’s clicked

at their home or at a joyous even rather than lining them all up in a deliberately decorated studio. Let it be organic and natural rather than made up. Let nature of the bonds fill the charm

in the shots.

Environmental Shots

• Capture the life as it is Instead of making up the

scenarios, using the artificial studios and those old and many

used props utilize the habits and lifestyle.

Make a few environmental portraits. Find the children playing

in the backyard or the father washing the car.

Mom and Baby together Photo

Click a shot of the yummy food that the young mom is cooking or find the grandma reading the newspaper by the fireplace in her armchair. The moments that they live each day yet without realizing the significance of them in their lives. The life a family

leads adds a peculiar uniqueness to their bonds and environmental shots are the most appropriate way to define

them through a silent photograph.

Individualities• Let the members freely choose how they wish to act and

pose rather than arranging them all up as if they are forced to be a part of a silent act. Let the children play

about or pose as they want, the elders have their chosen expressions. Adding monotony or arrangements might just take away the beauty of the family’s harmony

in diversity.

Playful PortraitsCatch them in their moods, their natural

actions and reactions and their impulsive and reactionary movements. Take shots while they delve in the depth of their bonds revealing

their true selves and the beauty of their

relationships. These candid shots are the

ones they shall treasure.

Before Time, Not On Time• Be early to their place;

Catch them while they are still gearing up for

their family photography session with you. You

can capture some of the most naturally, beautiful, candid and meaningful moments while they all act about their nature

unaware of and unconcerned with artificially posing.

Photograph the mom chasing the children, the dad looking for his own stuff, the children running about playfully or acting sluggish and stubborn. These are

the moments that make for a perfect family photograph.

The Parents as Props • Full Family PhotoYou may use the

parent’s props to bring out the most genuine and natural actions

and reactions from the young ones of the family. Capture the moments when the

parents entertain their children or the children

react on impulse to speech or actions. Capture the funny

faces, the laughter, the screams… everything…

the essence and beauty of family photography. Do not wash it away with tonics
