  • Location. First off, you will want to determine where you would like to have your family portraits captured. With many stunning outdoor settings, you certainly won’t be at a loss of options. It would be best to choose a site that holds meaning to you and your family, such as a park that you like to frequent. Just be sure to choose a location that you can act natural with one another within.

  • Outfits. When choosing outfits for your family portrait photo session, you will want them to complement one another, but not entirely match. In addition, clothing that is too flashy or presents logos should be avoided, as you won’t want these details to be the focus of your images. Also, feel free to bring along more than one ensemble, to present some diversity throughout your photos.

  • Props. As a family, you most likely have your own interests and hobbies. You can showcase your bond together by bringing along props that represent what brings your family together. Whether its skateboarding or a love of music, you can get creative when choosing yours. The opportunities for props are truly endless!

With proper planning, your family portrait photo session will be one of a kind, just as it should be! These are just a few tips to assist you with doing so.
