Oh man, I could do shoots like this forever! Pink sunsets with a warm breeze are the best. The beach was pretty empty and we were able to run and around and just have fun!
I think I’ll always and forever love neutral colors at photo sessions. This sweet family did such a good job highlighting their one year old son, while staying perfectly coordinated!
I love helping my clients with what to wear for their photo session! Clothing is that finishing touch for your photos. You choose the location, you show up with your smiling faces and what you wear pulls it all together!
As your kids get older, don’t stop taking photos! I loved this recent family session with older kids at the Newport Civic Center.
I know it’s easy to focus on the kids for annual portraits. But, it’s also so important to get in the photos!
I found a new little spot on the Newport coast. It’s a bit of a hike down to the water, but it’s such a gem. Gorgeous cascading rocks lead down to the water.
Focusing on good family photos during your photo session is always a good idea! Unless you’re going to set up a camera on a tripod with a timer, you just don’t get all family members in the same frame. That’s why people go to a professional photographer!
Big kids! They don’t run from you like toddlers, but sometimes photographers need help because older kids can sometimes be timid at first.
I’ll preface my advice by telling you that it helps when you know a family. The ‘warming up’ period goes pretty quickly and they’re ready to laugh and have fun with you. So, keep your clients if you can!
The majority of my newborn sessions happen in my studio. And if not in my studio, then at a client’s home. But, every so often, I have a family that prefers nature.
The last hour of the day is commonly referred to as golden hour. It can be used to create a beautiful glowy photo. Or if used incorrectly, the image can be filled with lots of white blown-out highlights. So, how do you do a photo shoot at golden hour?
