*FAQs - questions to your family photographer
One of the most asked question to family photographer is “what the best time to take photos?”
As commonly know the best time for almost any type of photography including family photography is "the golden hour" or "magic hour". This is the time of day when the sun is low in the sky just around sunrise or sunset. Normally, this is 30-40 minutes after sunrise and before sunset.
Taking family photos, and particularly family portraits around this time can give you golden, dramatic and extremely pleasant and softer light.
You can always check and schedule your family photo session time refer to this link.
Please note that it is better to arrive at the chosen location 30-40 minutes before the "golden hour". You will need this time gap to get used to the place, talk with your family photographer, take a test photo, check clothes, poses, composition, discuss your own ideas, wishes and other details.
What to wear to your family photoshoot?
The starting point and a first step you need to adjust your outfit to the location. There are a variety of clothing ideas for many types of indoor and outdoor locations, but it's always important to harmonise your clothing with the environment.
To keep your photos looking stylish and elegant we recommend choosing 2-3 colours for your outfit. Also solid colours of your clothes always look classy and classic. It is worth to mention that your outfit shouldn't dominate over faces of your beautiful family, that's why we would recommend to keep your dress simple to let your face shine. Remember, staying away from super trendy pieces will help your pictures stand the test of time.
One more thing not to forget - this is always a nice idea to play with jackets, hats, scarfs, vests, neckties, bows, socks, gloves or (when it's suitable) umbrellas. ... and remember you are always welcome to discuss with Shamrock Space Studio family photographer all you special needs and get the best advice for the best possible outcome.
How long should a family photo session be?
From our experience your family photoshoot timing will depend on number of photo locations you choose, amount of people participating in the photo session, weather condition and number of photographs you would like to receive.
In general, aim to allow 1 – 1 ½ hours for each location during your family photo session. As professional family photographers, we understand that your time can be limited, which is why we will do our very best to make the most of every minute we spend with you.
How long should we wait and how many edited photos can we expect from a 1 hour session?
We would answer: it varies from 10 to 20 or even 30 photographs (on the average you can expect around 20 professionally edited, retouched family photographs), however this depends on several factors and circumstances. But we can always collaborate and find a common ground.
