Salisbury Beach Family Portrait Session

BOSTON FAMILY PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

 
Looking for a fun family activity for all ages in the Boston area? Family portrait sessions are a wonderful choice because they’re a shared experience everyone can take part in while creating a lasting heirloom to enjoy in the years to come!

Much love to this fantastic multi-generational family — grandkids, parents, grandparents, and one great-grandparent! We were gifted a beautiful summer night at Salisbury beach, and the skies dazzled with just the perfect combination of blues, warmth, and cotton candy pinks. As your photographer, the first consideration with larger family sessions is making sure everyone has a chance with the camera, mixing and matching different group combinations amongst the family. The second consideration is acknowledging everyone attending has a unique comfort level with the camera, so it’s important to be mindful of everyone’s preferences and input. Some children, for example, become bashful when the camera is pointed in their direction, so this means being sly with the lens to sneak their image. One last consideration when photographing larger, aged-varied groups is that everyone has a different aesthetic appreciation for the images we are creating — some prefer posed and “everyone-look-at-the-camera”, whereas others gravitate to a candid, organic look. The good news is there’s plenty of time in the session to photograph a combination of both styles, which I recommend doing especially with multi-generational family sessions. With this approach, when the final gallery is delivered, everyone can choose images in the style they prefer of themselves and of their loved one.
