Photographing family dynamics brings as a result images that are fun, fresh and full of emotions.
Even if I previously gotten to know this family, working with them on a different roleplay brought to light features I couldn't see before. I learned now that the kids will feel comfortable and safe if they see you interacting.
Some family dynamics will lend themselves to a more formal and styled sort of a photoshoot, Coming up with themes and suggestions on how to take styled and formal photos it was an easy work. It’s important that everyone has fun during the shoot.
Always take the first few minutes as warmup time – testing the light, figuring out the right lens.
Having everyone relaxed during that time can result in some great, natural pose, personality revealing photos.
Structuring this Family Photoshoot was key as many times, families come to have their picture taken expect group shots only. For them, a family photoshoot means a photo with the entire family. But since I know the importance of having a variety of photos especially portraits of each family member, I seized the moment every time opportunity presented.
I just made sure to keep clicking so that I can get some candid photos throughout the whole process.
When families choose to have the session outdoors, it opens up so many possibilities of getting creative with my shots. The outdoors becomes another element I can add to the frame and use it to my own advantage.
If clients have a great time during the shoot, it is more than likely that they will love the final images. I know I had a lot of fun during this photoshoot.
Thank you!
