You no longer have to choose your backyard for your next Family or Portrait Session. Here are some tips and tricks on how to choose your photo location. I will be describing a Family Session, however this also applies to a Group Portrait session and personal Portrait Session as well!
Atmosphere
Decide on the atmosphere that fits yourself and your family. Here are a couple general categories that I ask my clients to think about:
Texas Skyline
Beautiful Texas sunsets and scenery.
Rustic
Antiques and charming small towns.
Modern
Clean lines or no lines at all. Simplistic with no distractions.
Industrial
Bricks, old buildings, and rusty poles.
Industrial Modern
A little modern twist to the typical concrete floors and rusty pillars.
Homely
Couches and comfort. Typically inside your own home.
Greenery
Texas has a lot to offer in this department with lush grass fields and beautiful trees.
Scenic
A diverse scene with lots to offer to the viewer.
What to Wear
This is a fun subject to dive into as there are so many different scenarios! Let’s take a trip down photo lane to view a few examples of how to dress for your Session!
Family
Choose a pallet that works with the vision you have for your Family Portrait. Consider that this will be an image that you enjoy for many years - so try avoiding trendy outfits that may out-date the portrait.
Business
Wear something you might wear to a job interview - after all, your Business Portrait is the first impression your clients will get of you.
