The importance ​of family portrait photography

Family Photographs are the most beautiful memories we can ever have. They will serve as a reminder that we were here and help future generations to better understand us. They bring you back to specific scenarios and that’s why you should find a professional family photographer to capture the special moment.

Memories are so important to base our future; they are all we have to hold on to. They can help us remember those that have left us, and help us know that bad times come and go, but good always awaits us, they can even help us remember the feeling of a certain moment.

Photography is something that many people will claim that they can do well, and while they can do it, and get decent photos if you want to make sure that you get the best quality, you need to find a professional photographer. Snapshots of your family travel and vacations are a great idea and should not be discouraged; but every once in a while, a professional family portrait should be taken; you can find one of the best family photographers serving Northern New Jersey, and the metropolitan area of New York City.

This is a good idea for many reasons; the first is that a professional can make sure that everyone in the family is well represented in a photograph. Many times when families go on vacations one person is taking the photographs and the others are in the photos, meaning someone is always left out of the photographs.

Newborn and Maternity Photography

For next year the trend of newborn and maternity photography will continue to boom. Mommies are booking more newborn and maternity photography sessions together not only because it is convenient for families but also many newborn photographers offer great discounts when you book both sessions with the same studio. 

Coming back to family photography; when planning where you want to take photos of your family, you have many options whether you want to do it yourself or have a professional do it for you. The first thing that you should decide is, if you want to book an on-location or studio session. If you choose to do it on-location at your home, it’s best to choose a room with beautiful natural light and morning will the best time of the day. If you do the pictures on-location outdoors, there are so many things to considere from the time of the day. Many families are more educated when selecting the time, most of them choose to do them during the golden hour – golden hour is the period of daytime shortly after sunrise or before sunset when the light is softer – booking the session 30 minutes or even one hour before the set time is best!
There is not doubt that outdoor sessions are the best for families specifically for big families and kids. Most of the time kids don’t like to be pose or to stayed on a specific place. We love to photograph children in natural environment were we can see their personality and spontaneoty. Lifestyle family photography is something our studio photographs best!

If you decide that outdoors is your choice, you should still consider the room as a factor but it is far less likely that will be a problem. The main problem that you might face is the sun. You will have to plan a good time of day to make sure that the sun is in a good position so that the subject is not shadowed, and to make sure that the sun is not creating a flare in the image. There are many beautiful locations for family photo sessions in Northern New Jersey, and other locations near you!
