A little something about photography...

Want to Create SUPER FUN Family Portraits? |  Corpus Christi TX Photographer

I recently met one of the most fun families I’ve ever photographed! I did what I usually do – met with them, met the kids, talked about what to expect, answered questions, and figured out the what and when of our session. The kids are teenagers and I never know what to expect from teens… Will they be surly? Angsty? Bored? Excited? Fun?

​When I met these two, I knew we were in for some fun. The whole family, actually – they just radiated joy and energy!

So we talked about getting some FUN family portraits. I wanted to capture the family playing and goofing around like families often do… and it really got me thinking. Every family plays differently. I have a family of my own – four kids, a husband – it’s not quiet in our house, but it IS fun!

So here is how you do it:
  1. Determine what “fun” looks like in your home. Is if fist bumps? Tickle fests? Sweaty hugs? Dance parties? In our home, it’s definitely dance parties. We put music on and it brings everyone out of their rooms and we all dance in the living room together.  It makes our family feel connected and there is nothing but smiles, laughter, and an all-around good time.
  2. Do whatever it is that you do – set the example!  Want your kids to play in the portraits? Guess who has to kick it off… Yup – you!  Don’t be afraid to be ridiculous.  Channel your inner child and just roll with it!
  3. Hire a photographer – preferably ME :D <<<shameless plug
That’s it! Easy day!  Then you share those pictures with family and friends and they get to witness what an awesome family you have. 

Feeling inspired? Good!  Leave me a comment :D

XOXO
