creating candid moments in family portraits
Hello, I had a great pleasure to dive into the summer season here in Perth, Scotland. Its been a busy weekend photographing happy families and stunning weddings. Of course focusing on true connections for best results and to reflect on my photography style; embracing candid moments. The weather was definitely on our side which allowed to take the coats off and enjoy the sun, nature which definitely inspired monay families to book location based family photography. Let me show you sone storytelling from the photoshoot.
As a photographer, a location-based family photoshoot involves scouting and selecting a picturesque and meaningful setting for the family. I consider the family's preferences and personalities when choosing the location. Once the location is chosen, I visit the site beforehand to identify the best spots for capturing a variety of images. During the shoot, I focus on utilizing the natural surroundings to create visually appealing compositions and to reflect the unique dynamics within the family. This approach helps in creating memorable and authentic family portraits that truly capture the essence of the family and the chosen location.

How to get comfortable for family photos ?
Getting comfortable for family photos is essential to capturing natural and relaxed expressions. One way to achieve this is by choosing a location where your family feels at ease, such as a favorite park, beach, or even in the comfort of your own home. Additionally, wearing clothing that you feel confident and comfortable in can also help set the tone for a successful photoshoot. Finally, maintaining a positive and relaxed attitude can help everyone feel at ease and allow the photographer to capture genuine moments.
As a photographer, I believe that creating candid moments in family portraits can capture the true essence of the family. Candid photos often reveal genuine emotions and interactions, creating a more authentic and memorable collection of images. To achieve this, I encourage engaging in natural activities or prompting unposed interactions during the photoshoot. The result will be a set of family portraits that truly reflects the unique dynamics and connections within the family.
