CAPTURING THEIR LEGACY

 

 

"I JUST WANT ONE GOOD PHOTO of  US ALL TOGETHER  ... "

 

Your parents are so proud of the legacy you have helped to create.  They love you, they love their grand children and know that it's hard to get everyone together.  But if they could just have the one picture with everyone together, it would make them so happy.  

 

GOOD NEWS!  I GET THE SHOT **AND** IT'S PAINLESS!

 

Listen - no one wants to stand in the middle of a field in fancy clothes for very long!  Especially kids!  When we work together - I know the minute the first family arrives, we are on a countdown clock before everyone starts to expire.  The first 5 minutes are everything - and I plan it down to the second because like your folks - I want that one shot where everyone is genuinely smiling too.  It's kinda like a badge of honor.  And I have a perfect track record so far.  =)

 

STYLING, PLANNING and SHOOTING

 

When you give me your family tree - we talk about who's shy, who's smiley, who's tall, who's short - and I make a seating chart and shot plan before you even get there.  ... Because let's be honest - it's all about looking good and printing that 11x14 =). Then we talk about outfits.  Most families choose "Nature's Neutrals" of blue, lavender, green, white, brown.  I always encourage a pop of color like coral or yellow too.  Then we start with the entire group then like swift precision, move through all the pictures involving kids before they're over it. Unlike more laid back lifestyle shoots - multi-generational shoots always cater to the youngest or least enthusiastic common denominator.  It's fast, focused and intent on one great shot of each person or combination of people and then we move on.  Like laser precision.  Hey, I even bring the seating - all you have to do is bring your smiling happy selves!

 

THE SHOTS

 

Since you guys are all together, I always want to be able to capture as much as possible.

There's NO CRYING in BASEBALL and

there's NO REWARD TAKE-BACKS in PHOTOSHOOTS =)

 

I recently did our own family photos and despite my best efforts ... I was 100% "Photoshoot" Mom.  I was edgy, praying the dog would hold out, desperately wanting this one time out to be a winner, and exasperated at my kid for squirreling around. I GET IT!!!  But I always tell families - go heavy on the incentive, steady feed candy if we have to and deal with whatever the aftermath is after it's over.  Teamwork makes the dreamwork!
