Choose your outfits carefully:
Pick your clothing in advance, remember to make sure your outfit choices are comfortable and attractive. What do your family photos look like? If they are soft and elegant, Choose neutral colors with soft flowing fabrics. (creams, soft pastels, tans, light browns, grays and slate blues. Do you want to show the fun and spunky side of your family? Choose coordinating but not matching, and with bold accent colors hues such as gray with yellow or bright red accents. To add a modern feel… add scarves, headbands, hats, etc…
Be well rested and well fed:
When scheduling your photo session, keep in mind your child's nap or bedtime. The best time for lighting is two hours before sunset and two hours after sunrise. If this is a bad time for your children, please reach out and lets figure out a best time that will work best for you and your family. A good photographer would be able to shoot any time of the day by finding areas of open areas of shade so you will have beautiful skin tones and the sparkle in your eyes. If you plan to schedule dinner for after your photo shoot, be sure to give everyone a healthy snack before the photoshoot.
Leave plenty of time to get ready:
Mom’s can be rushing around while trying to get everyone ready for their photo shoot trying to make sure everyone is dressed and ready. I try to recommend mom to go get their hair and makeup professionally done. What a great time to pamper yourself! Plus if you are feeling fabulous and confident, well it will reflect on the rest of the family as well!
leaving plenty of time for shows, baths, dressing, and grooming, will help you and your family not to feel rushed and disorganized. Which will make your photo shoot to be more fun, smooth sailing and end with a great experience. Give yourself extra time so you are ready to head out the door.
Don't forget the snacks and drinks:
Bring snacks and drinks for the children to keep them fueled and happy throughout the session. Non-messy snacks like crackers or fruit are a good choice.
Dads, Please be a helpful participants:
Dad, please happily participate, I know many dads dread family photo shoots. But dads please understand how important capturing your family is. These images will be all you will have as a legacy of your family when your children are grown, married and have their own family. This will be something you can look back on years later and tell the story of how their mom/dad got this awesome shot. Family photos are treasured forever and so very important. Pretty please dads happily participate in your families photo session.
Plus once you see your beautiful, happy wife and amazing photos, you will not regret that you gave this special time to your family.
Have fun:
Let’s have fun! Don’t be afraid to interact with your children, family. Pick up your children, throw them in the air, give your wife a sweet kiss on her cheek, tell your husband how much you love him and appreciate him for all he does for you and the family. Have fun. Enjoy being together. Make memories, laugh, kiss, snuggle and play.When you do these things it helps your photographer to capture the raw emotions and the true beauty of your family. Show your photographer who you really are so she/he can show the love your family shares.
