Family Photography 101 – What You’ll Learn
In a survey of nearly 500 photographers, over 50% said that posing, storytelling, and creativity were their most significant challenges in family portraiture. To help, we’re breaking the course down into traditional and lifestyle portraits.
Learn Traditional Portraits
For traditional portraiture, we’re going to walk through the steps of scouting a location, setting up the lighting and shot, and working through foundation posing for family portraits. We’re even going to work our way through posing a large extended family portrait session. We often forget that traditional portraits are usually the images that sell best! These are the images that most often make it into albums and onto walls. We’re going to make posing and shooting traditional portraits easy.
Lifestyle Portraits
Then we’re going to walk through the process of planning and executing a lifestyle session with my own family. We’re going to show you how you can plan your way into perfectly candid moments like these. While these shoots are planned, the imagery has a level of meaning and authenticity that goes beyond traditional portraiture. These creative storytelling images are part of a new wave of clients that we’re seeing that want authenticity over everything else. As a photographer and client myself, these are the images that I want for my own family.
