tips for a fun family session {austin child photographer}
Tips for a fun family session. Get ahead of the crowd and book your family session as early as possible. Fall’s mild temperatures make family sessions in Texas the most popular time of year for Austin photographers. Many families book their session the year before to guarantee their favorite time of year for family portraits.
Book early to grab the best date and time for your family session.
Fun location. Go for an area that is special to your family. Does your family prefer more urban locations? Or wide open rural spaces to run? Or your own backyard?
Stay comfortable. Make sure everyone is comfy in their outfits. What clothing options fit the choice of location (and weather!) best. Happy, relaxed family members make for the best photos.
Bring along a personal item. Consider bringing along a family blanket, a picnic basket, or anything that adds a personal touch to make the session a fun experience.
Holiday Cards and Gifts. October is ideal for capturing updated photos for holiday cards and gifts. When choosing a date for your session, you’ll need to know how long it will take your photographer to complete your gallery, how long your holiday cards will take to process, and mail to you, and then of course the time it will take for you to send out your holiday greetings.
Relax and have fun. When your session date arrives, all the details have been worked out. Plan for plenty of time to get ready and even more time if you have to deal with any sort of Austin traffic. Enjoy your time together and let your photographer capture you and your beautiful family.
