Here are three family portrait ideas and directions to consider for your photoshoot with Brass Frog Photography.
Classic
Now that summer is here, it’s a great time to get outside and take advantage of the natural light in your photos. Once you’ve decided on a location for your shoot (maybe the beach, a peaceful park, or even an indoor studio if you’re so inclined), it’s time to decide on a direction. Classic family portraits capture the love and togetherness of your family unit. Their simplicity delivers a sense of class and elegance that make for beautiful photos. Consider dressing the family in the same color palette without matching outfits. Have each member dress in a separate shade of one color so everyone’s not overly matched.
Candid
Some of the best photos taken are those that are candid. There’s magic in the moment when a photographer puts down the camera and the pressure is off to pose. Instruct your photographer to follow you and your family on a walk on the beach or a stroll through the park. You may know a photo is being taken, but if you remember to be present in the moment, something magical can happen!
Creative
If you’re looking to step outside the box and go for something a little more fun and a little less classic, getting creative during your photoshoot with Brass Frog Photography can have beautiful results. Consider using props, spelling out a word with giant letters, or using your shadows for a dramatic effect in your photos. Have everyone jump at once, lay down in the grass in a circle, or have your family run into the ocean with their backs to the lens. No matter the direction you take during the shoot, remember to be free, let go, and have fun!
