What To Wear To Your Family Photo Shoot - Beauty & Family Photographer, Hamilton Waikato NZ
I love capturing all the different sides of my clients. There are many facets to an individual, which is why I have created a stylised photo shoot where you can be photographed in several different outfits.
Begin your portrait session with beauty portraits for yourself, or make it a girls day out together with your Mum, Nana, or daughters before the boys arrive later in the day. This is such a wonderful way to take time out for yourself, or together with your girls.
These portraits will be a legacy to you and your loved ones, and you might not realise it, but your children would love to have portraits that capture their mum in the most beautiful way.
So, how would you like to be photographed? Individually and with your family? This is one of the biggest questions I ask my clients. You can take this opportunity to be as casual, or as glamorous as you like!
