What to Expect During a Family Photography Session

What to Expect During a Family Photography Session

Michael recently photographed this senior and family portrait in the Tanglewood area at their home. When we are commissioned for a portrait, clients often ask us what to expect during a family photography session. Below are a few highlights of what to expect during your portrait session:

  1. Consultation

We had a portrait consultation over the phone to discuss the date and location. This family wanted to have their senior and family photography session at their home to keep it simple and relaxed. We scheduled a time to visit their home before the session so we could see areas of their home that would work nicely for their portrait session. During this site visit we were also able to review their clothing selections for their portrait.

  1. Communication

During the session we keep the conversation light and love to learn more about you and your family. This helps us to bring out great expressions and a relaxed feel to your portrait. We strive to not pose you in uncomfortable poses and instead keep everyone comfortable and at ease.

  1. Completion

After we complete your session, we schedule a time for you to come into the studio and view the artist proofs and suggestions. We project your images and size them to the correct size and scale for your walls in your home. We want you to see your finished portrait in actual size and love it!

We loved capturing a variety of indoor and outdoor portraits for this family. We know they will treasure these family portraits for many years to come.
