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 Portraits Catch 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.

Sweet Baby Photography in the Garden


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

You 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…
