Prepping for Your Extended Family Photography Session

Here are some things to prepare and consider when planning your family session.

• Pick one person in your group who will act as the coordinator. They are the liaison between the photographer and the family. It'll cut down on confusion and will help the session go smoother if you have one person. This person can coordinate things like: outfits, group shots lists, ordering prints and managing payments, etc.
• Location: consider all the mobility needs of your group. If everyone is able to hike down to a beach, amaaaazing, but if there are ailments or walking struggles it's best to consider a location with parking and bathrooms nearby. Parks, walking trails, beaches, Uncle Bob with an amazing backyard, we can do in-home or even a rental home if you're on vacation!
• Time frame: if you want beautiful golden light during your session plan for at least a one hour or a two hour session before the sun goes down or before it comes up. If evenings aren't your thing, sunrise sessions can be wonderful and plus less crowded in public areas!
