Preparing for your holiday family portrait…
When families get together, it’s an opportunity to take a memorable family portrait. Proper preparation is essential.
Here are 5 helpful tips
1 | Plan Your Photo Shoot
This step is a lot of fun. Do you want to use props? Shoot the photo outside? Are you going to location you’ve never been to before? Your photographer can give you extra ideas too.
2 | Book A Date ASAP
Speak to your family first and lock in a date that you’re all free then let your photographer know. The time of day and location is important because of lighting.
Pets are part of the family
3 | Involve Your Kids
Start talking to your children about the photo shoot. By involving them, you’re including them in the process, so they’ll be excited for the photo shoot.
4 | Coordinate Clothing
Think about the feel of this family portrait and how you’ll be using it. Will you frame a print to hang above your mantel? Will this be a serious, silly, or natural photo? You can start to plan what everyone will wear based on the style you have chosen.
