Want Amazing Family Photography? Tips for a Great Photo Session with a Professional Gold Coast Portrait Photographer

If you’ve had Gold Coast family portraits made before, you know how challenging family photography can be. They aren’t just challenging for the family, but for the photographer as well. By taking a few steps before your session, you can get the most out of your Gold Coast family portrait photography, make the day as easy as possible, and gain beautiful photos you’ll cherish forever.

Choose Your Clothing Carefully

Decide on what you and your family will wear well in advance of your session, and make sure that the clothes are attractive, well-fitting, and comfortable. Think about the look you’d like to achieve in your photos. Would you like a soft, elegant look? Then choose soft, flowing fabrics and neutral colours and pastels. To show off your family’s fun side. Go for coordinating (not matching) outfits with bold accent colours. Use accessories such as hats and scarves to add a sassy, modern twist.

Be Rested and Fed

Avoid scheduling your session during your child’s nap or bedtime. A couple of hours after sunrise and a couple of hours before sunset are the best times for lighting, but a good Gold Coast family portrait photographer can shoot at any time of day either inside their studio or outside by utilising areas of shade. Also, make sure that you and your family have eaten before your session. Many families schedule a photo shoot in the late afternoon and plan to have dinner afterwards; if you do this, make sure that everyone has at least a snack first.

Allow Lots of Time to Get Ready

You’ll want to avoid rushing around before your photo shoot trying to get everyone dressed and ready. Leave plenty of time in your schedule for bathing, dressing, and grooming. You might even want to have your hair and makeup professionally done – when you look confident and attractive, it sets the mood for the whole family. If you show up for your session with the whole family feeling rushed and unorganised, it sets the tone for a stressful session. Give yourself extra time to relax and get ready calmly before you head out.

Have Fun!

Don’t be afraid to pick up your children, kiss your spouse, laugh together, tell jokes, and generally have a great time. Having fun together gives the photographer the opportunity to capture your family’s true beauty and emotion without stiffness. When your photographer sees who you really are, it will show in your portraits.
