Creating a Better Portrait Experience

October 18, 2016 • Leave a Comment

Who doesn't love having great portraits of their family?

A portrait session isn't always about the final outcome though.

The experience is half of the fun!

Below are our favorite tips to help you create a better portrait experience.

1. Be prepared to capture special off-guard moments happening where the action is not. There is always so much happening and picture perfect moments are all around!

2. When taking your beach portraits, don't be afraid to get creative with backgrounds and poses. Just because you're at the beach doesn't mean it has to be in every shot! Also, don't be afraid to get wet and sandy! It's nice to let loose during a session, especially at the end!! If you’re booking JOP bring the swimsuits down to change into at the end of the session.

3. Encourage your children to express themselves with both their clothing and their interests! Bringing toys or items that show off their personality are always a great idea. When at the beach, inflatable tubes, beachballs, or sand toys can be tons of fun and keep the kids occupied during the portrait session!

4. When taking portraits with others, be open-minded! Good ideas come in all shapes and size from all family members!

5. Relax your shoulders and push them slightly back. Your body language will relay a welcoming openness in the picture. Take deep breaths throughout the whole session. This not only calms you, but it calms the kids around you.
