Family sessions are by far some of the challenging but yet most rewarding sessions. I love to capture the interactions between a Dad and his little girl and the sweet (and sometimes not so sweet) exchanges between siblings. I know that family sessions are not always the easiest or something that everyone in the family is thrilled to be doing, and they can be tough to plan for. But the investment you make in having beautiful pictures of your family together is priceless and it can actually be enjoyable too.
Your session will be a mixed of posed (but not stiff) + candid shots. I really strive to make the session interactive and light-hearted, to alleviate the anxiety of the “musts” in family sessions.
FAQ
your questions answered
How long does a family shoot last?
They usually last about an hour to an hour and a half.
What do we wear?
One of the most challenging aspects about a shoot is planning and coordinating everyone's outfits. My best advice is to choose one article of clothing that you really love and let that piece set the tone for everyone's wardrobe. Take a pattern and coordinate other colors and textures and accessories around that one article of clothing. Think coordinating, not matching and add varied textures and accessories (scarves, necklaces, hats) to make it unique and interesting. Generally, colors that work well are navy, cranberry, cream, gray...nothing too bright or harsh as those colors tend to cast colors on the skin.
Where will we shoot?
For senior sessions we will travel to various spots to shoot. These are places that I have already scouted out, that I know are interesting - with good textures and/or good lighting. I try and and vary the look so that you will have options. Some seniors prefer an urban setting and for this we can go to Dallas or Ft. Worth. We can discuss these options further. Additional travel charges will apply.
