Family Photography. Your First Family photo session.

Family photo shoot at Sylvan Lake beach.

Hi! My name is Liliya, and I am a Family photographer based in Red Deer, Alberta and area.

If you have never done a Family photo session before, it can be a little scary and confusing... but also very exciting!

But there is nothing to worry about. Here is a little guide to help you prepare for your first Family photoshoot.

Do your research.

When you are looking for your local photographer, do a little research.

If you are from Red Deer, Alberta, Google "Red Deer Family Photographer" and you will see the list of options. Pay attention to the amount and quality of reviews.

Go to the website of your family photographer and check her/his portfolio.

It will give you some idea of the type of photo editing they do. And if you are happy with what you see, get in touch with the photographer...

And don't be shy, ask all the questions you want.

The important ones would be :

- Fee and Deposit requirements;

- Amount of digital images and/or prints;

-Amount of hours of photography service ;

- Studio or Outdoor photo locations;

- Copyright rules;

-Fee for extra time or images, etc.

Get Ready

Know exactly what you want!

Go online and research Family photo session images. It's a good place to find some awesome ideas for your first Family photo session. It will help you to get an idea of which locations look good and what style and colors of clothes look the best.

The simple rule is to stick with solid, calm colors, such as grey, white, beige, brown, dark blue, denim, etc...

Try to avoid busy prints and bright "neon-like" colors.

Pick your location, or let the photographer do it for you. It would be best if you personally go to the location of your choice prior to the session date to make sure you like it. Share your "vision" with your family photographer as much as possible. Communication is the key to a successful photo session.

Be Punctual

That sounds funny, but that can happen... So make sure to put it on your calendar to avoid losing your deposit. Get to your location 15 minutes earlier. To avoid losing any time on your photoshoot, make sure to get to the place a little bit earlier. That with cover time for greetings, signing the contract, and choosing the best spot for your amazing photos.
