5 Tips for a Fabulous Family Photoshoot

Oct 26, 2023 11:18AM ● By Sharron Ventura

Plan Ahead

Book early and allow enough time for editing and ordering prints or cards, especially if you are planning to give them as gifts.

Coordinate your outfits

Choose a color scheme that reflects the holiday or season. Wear colors that complement one another without being overly matching. Let each family member’s personality shine.

Choose the right time

Embrace natural lighting. Opt for “golden hours,” which are in the early morning, before the sun is blazing, or an hour before  sunset.

Capture authentic moments

Not everything has to be perfect and posed. Spontaneous moments make for the most cherished photos.

Have patience and have fun

Enjoy this time with your family! Focus on making photos a fun and exciting experience.

Pro Tip: Bring bribes for little ones!
