How To Get Ready For A Family Portrait Photography Session Having a fresh, new batch of family photos to decorate the house with or pass out to adoring family members is fun and exciting, but sometimes the actual photo session may not be pleasant. Between weeping kids or wardrobe malfunctions, it can seem that everyone is on edge and the result can sometimes be some very posed-looking smiles. In order to capture the true candid smiles that your family really has, it’s a good idea to be prepared before your portrait photography session. If everyone in your family is on exactly the same page, then your experience will probably go a little bit more smoothly. Color coordinating or dressing up in matching outfits is what a lot of families prefer in their professional photographs. Gathering all the clothing together for a family of five will take quite a bit of time, especially if it is going to require some shopping for new pieces. Make sure to have a clear plan of what you would like the whole family to wear ahead of time where everyone is comfortable yet looking great and shop at least a week in advance to allow you ample time. It will likely be a recipe for disaster to put young kids into stiff or uncomfortable outfits that have never been worn before. It will absolutely work to your advantage to do anything beforehand to make the sitting go smoother. Before you arrive for your family portrait photography session, it’s a great idea to sit down with your photographer and discuss the logistics of your shoot. To help the photographer, discuss with them certain aspects like how you would like to pose or sit for the shoot and any suggestions they might have you would like. Having the capacity to work together and communicate is essential so that you are all pleased with the shoot. Seek their guidance on clothing choices, locations and anything else you might have a concern with before the photo shoot. Remember that your photographer has likely taken photos of countless families, so they should have some suggestions for you that you didn’t think about. Booking a time and date for a photo shoot really should be on a day when nothing else is planned where it could be a low key event. A Sunday afternoon is normally a good time, since the weekend has given everyone the chance to relax and recharge. If you have young kids, try to book a time slot following a nap, rather than waiting until they are too tired and fussy to want to participate. Never mess with a nap schedule when it relates to small kids as you want them at their very best, not capturing them on film at their worst. If you're able to, ask everyone in your family to go to bed early the night before so that even those who don’t demand daily naps are rested up and all set to go. It can be beneficial to resort to bribery or promises of a wonderful treat after a successful portrait shoot where after you can reward everyone for a job well done. If your children have an incentive, they are a lot more likely to act the way you need them to. It is a good idea to take along helpful distractions for example small toys or snacks to keep the smaller children occupied and happy. Try to relax and not stress so everyone is able to enjoy the experience of a professional photo shoot and you get that amazing family portrait you always wanted.
