Our Guide to Family Portraits

Our fall is already filling up.  Autumn is busy season for family sessions.  The weather is beautiful and the leaves are gorgeous.  A perfect time to update the portraits on the walls.  For those of you who, like myself, enjoy planning in advance, I thought I'd share our Family Portrait Guide.  It has great tips, including what to wear.

The Hicks Family

 Last week, I met up with the Hicks family.  They had all come from several hours away for a family reunion camping in the North Liberty area.  While they were together they wanted to take the opportunity to get some updated family portraits.  It's so wonderful when families take advantage of their time together in order to capture special moments like these, especially when they are with family they don't see often. 

Family Photos {Creating the Look}

 

So often I am asked by clients, "What should we wear to out session?"  Your wardrobe choices greatly affect the look and feel of your portraits.  While you don't need to spend months tediously deciding exactly what you and your family members will be wearing, it is important to put some careful thought into the outfits you choose.

Senior Potraits {How to Prepare}

 Hard to believe your junior year is winding to a close and it's time to begin thinking about senior year and everything it entails.  It's time to start making decisions about what colleges to apply to, thinking about scholarships, and making the most of the time you have left with classmates before you all move onto the next great adventure in your lives.  Another thing to begin thinking about are senior portraits.  Senior portraits are a fun way to show off your personality and creating a lasting memory to share with friends and family.
