What a day, had a pleasure to photograph a beautiful family today in the comfort of their home. The youngest one is only 6 months, so I didn’t want him to be exposed to outside germs and suggested to the family to set up the photo session in their own home. Here are a few of my favorite photos.
Here’s a couple tips on choosing the absolute best images from your portrait session. First off, consider what you are going to do with the images. Are they as gifts?
By far the absolute BEST way to choose your favorite pose is when you initially go through the images after the session is over. When you are looking at the images and you have a ‘gut’ reaction to one or more poses and expressions, and you instantly like it, well, that’s your heart talking. Trust your instinct more than anything.
An image for grandparents may not be the same pose that you and your family feel is the best pose that expresses who you are. (We don’t always see eye-to-eye on all matters)
We tend to get analytical with images, trying too hard to narrow it down to the ‘perfect’ one. There is no such thing as perfection. When you choose an image from the heart, years, many years from now you will still love that image.
A mistake we often make is to listen to other people. People we love and trust. Opinions from well-meaning friends or relatives. They tend to analyze the images in a worst way. Only you know where your heart lies. Follow it! And just nod your head and smile when they give you too much advice.
Where is the image going in your home? A favorite place is on the living room wall, over the sofa, as a decorative art piece. Is it going in the family room? Have a look in your home and give this some thought.
