TLDR<\/h2>\n

(A little sneak peek just for you \ud83d\ude0a)<\/p>\n

  1. Be mindful of time:<\/strong><\/a> To best plan and organize timing, <\/span>\u231a\ufe0f<\/span> each of our packages has a required duration based on the number of participants.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Manage the chaos:<\/strong><\/a> If there are any preferences or special requests, it\u2019s helpful to inform your photographer in advance.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Set expectations & goals:<\/strong><\/a> Before your large group photo shoot, connect with your family members to set expectations and goals so the plan is clear <\/span>prior<\/span><\/i> to your shoot.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Embrace fun family photo poses:<\/strong><\/a> Utilizing the skills of a professional photographer who is comfortable with the pace, dynamics, and energy of large groups means they can manage the likely chaos with stride.<\/li>\n
  5. Where to capture your family portrait:<\/strong><\/a> We recommend thinking first about a location that feels safe and comfortable\u2014perhaps where there is a bit of space to move around and some variety to provide distractions for little ones.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Look for natural light:<\/strong><\/a> With large groups finding natural light means being outdoors, ideally where shade is present to offset harsh sunlight or shadows.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Find your favourite family photo outfits<\/strong><\/a>: One of our best photography tips is to focus on a colour scheme or general palate. <\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Celebrate all occasions:<\/strong><\/a> Whether it\u2019s a celebration, extended family reunion, holiday, or any other family occasion, take advantage of it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    1. Be mindful of time<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Landing amazing photos as a large group has a lot to do with time\u2014making sure you have enough and using the time you do have wisely!<\/span><\/p>\n

    Getting everyone where they need to be on time can be easy for some, but tricky for others (We get it!). Travel delays, transit mix-ups, slowdowns, and\/or minor meltdowns from tiny family members (\ud83e\udd2b), and about a million other factors can cause potential hiccups, so being prepared, anticipating delays, adding sufficient buffer time, and planning effectively all help ease stress tremendously.<\/span><\/p>\n
