If you know me, you know how passionate I am about family photos (actually, photos in general).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number one comment I get from people when they come into our home is \u201comg, your photos are stunning, who\u2019s your photographer? You are so good for making it happen, how do you make it happen?\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It got me thinking, what if people just need a little push or a couple of valuable tips to make this more of a reality for themselves. TRUTH: what do people grab when escaping a fire?! Photos are our memories, photos are our link to past, present, and future. Photos are a lot more than just a picture on a wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I sat down with Doug and Stana from https:\/\/www.lonemanphotography.com<\/a>, an amazing husband and wife duo, who have been taking our family photos since 2009. Doug snaps the pictures and Stana helps manage the family, coordinates, facilitates photo selection after the shoot and everything in-between. They are the perfect team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We chatted and they shared with me valuable insights that I am so excited to pass on to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here are some of the things that you can be proactive about when it comes to your family photo shoot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do some research on the photographer, check out his\/her photos. Do you like their esthetic? If their style isn\u2019t speaking to you, it probably isn\u2019t a good fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This might be hard to do, if you are using someone the first time, but trust is extremely important. If you don\u2019t trust your photographer, it will affect the shoot and it will show up in your pictures. Try to let go and put your faith in the person you hired to do the job. You don\u2019t do you own plumbing; you hire a plumber\u2026 at least most of us do \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which brings me to the next point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your photographer (if they are good) spent time understanding the location, the lighting, wind pattern etc.\u2026 so it\u2019s not helpful for you to make suggestions on how and where to shoot. That being said, if you have something specific in mind definitely communicate that ahead of time! You\u2019re their clients and they want you to be happy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
