These are some useful tips and snippets of information to help you and us make your shoot as fun and easy as possible!
Things to think about for your shoot:
- Well we try to take the best possible photographs of your family, but we do need a little help! If possible please make sure everyone has great hair and make up for the ladies. For group shots its really nice to colour co-ordinate your clothing, try to avoid stripes or very busy patterns, lines or stripes. Colours that work well are black, blues. Bright coulours area great and can bring a different dimension to the photographs.
- To help us capture your family its nice to bring along props, especially for children or teenagers. This might be a favorite hat or sunglasses or a bag!
- Many people like to bring things along that are symbolic of them, this might be a football or a psp or DS, added extras like this will help us capture more about your family in the photographs.
- The studio back drop is made from vinyl and is very expensive!, its very strong but it does not like stiletto high heels so ladies please try not to wear very high healed pointy shoes often for the more casual shots people take their shoes off but this is completely optional.
- You are welcome to bring a change of clothes so we can take alternative images, currently the studios are very basic as we have not fully renovated the space for our use so changing areas are limited but we will do our best to make you comfortable.
- Children often like to dress up in a sports kit or dance outfit that reflects any hobbies and interests, we will take a number of different images of the full family group and then small groups and individual shots of anyone who would like them.
- Teenagers often want images for facebook and myspace!
- We will do our best to make you feel at ease, the shoot is very relaxed and informal, to start with we will relax and settle everyone down, for many a photoshoot is quite intimidating but I try my best to be friendly and help everyone have a giggle and enjoy the shoot.
