Family photography is such a special and memorable moment for the whole family.
Our kids grow up in the blink of an eye, and we wish we could stop time, even if it’s just for a moment. Our parents and relatives get older too, and capturing a special moment with them are memories to cherish for life.
We think great family photography is all about capturing the bond between family members, and some planning and preparation will go a long way to creating an environment that will get you the best results.
But don’t worry, Impressions Photography Studio, Adelaide's leading portrait photography studio, is here to take the hard work out of it all.
Here are our top tips for photography you’ll be proud to hang on your wall.
Chat with us
We can help you decide on whether studio or location photography is right for you. With 35 years of photographing people across South Australia, we have lots of ideas about location options to suit the look of the session.
Bring along any treasured items
These can add a special touch to photography and add variety to your photography. It’s a sentimental way to remember family members, and recall special moments in time for the family. Let us know before the session if you have something special to add, and we can incorporate it. Also, consider if you want to include pets in the session, too! After all, they’re also very special to our families.
Consider your outfits
Selecting the right colours and outfits to suit your family’s style and personality is essential. Some people like a formal matching look, others like a more relaxed style where they blend well with each other. Whatever your style, the key is to wear clothing that feels comfortable and in colours you would normally wear (these will likely be colours that suit you best). Our Family Session Guide available on our website, will give you more detail about colour schemes and styles.
Lean into the moment
Great family photography is all about spontaneity – those moments you don’t expect, but that capture the essence of your family bond. Whether it’s a tender moment between parents and children or a goofy moment that everyone takes part in, we want to capture it all – a reflection of how life is in your family.
Have fun
This is the most important of all. You might decide on specific things you want to do as a family, because that’s how you have fun, or the moment may just come to you in the session. Getting silly helps to keep everyone relaxed and having fun.
Impressions Photography Studio sessions will work with you to capture that moment in time and create memories that capture your life and love.
Get in touch with us to book a family photography session that you’ll treasure for years to come, we'd love to hear from you and your reason for family photography.
Family is so special to us, and we'll treat yours as we would our own so that you have beautiful photography and breathtaking memories for life.
