Like the title says, I'm doing a quick shoot for a family this weekend. Their son is turning 1. I was already over at their place on other business and when they heard I do photography, asked if I could take some photos of them and their child.
I'm good with event shooting. I'm somewhat good with portraits.
Family shooting? Never been there. Looking for some tips on what to do, how to direct the shoot. I already gave them the "don't wear loud clothes" speech, but when I get to shooting, I was thinking of heading outside and getting more interaction between the family member shots. Its supposed to be -1C and scattered flurries on Sunday, so the weather should be good.
Any inspirational photographers I can look over portfolios to get an idea of shots? Standard waist up of them holding their child, child playing, maybe them holding his hands and shooting them from the back when they lift the kid up in the air...
