Need some tips and tricks before your family photo session?
To get the best results, choose your clothing carefully with the end result in mind. My top tip is to plan your outfit choices in advance, ensuring they are comfortable and color-coordinated. Consider the style of photos you want to achieve - soft and elegant or fun and spunky. For a soft and elegant look, opt for neutral colors like creams, pastels, and greys with flowing fabrics. For a more playful look, coordinate bold colors with green, yellow, or bright red accents, but avoid matchy-matchy outfits.
Best time to plan your family photo session
When scheduling your family photo session, try not to plan it around your child's nap or bedtime. I recommend photographing two hours before sunset or after sunrise for the best lighting conditions. Don't forget to have a snack before your session, so you don't show up on an empty stomach.
It's essential to have plenty of time to get ready before your family photography session. Rushing around and feeling stressed can set the tone for a disorganized and rushed family session. Plan ahead and make sure your clothing is clean, ironed, and ready to go. Take some extra time to relax and enjoy the shoot, without expectations on how your kids should behave. Think of it as a fun playdate with your family, and enjoy the process. All the best, Gunilla.

It's time to have a blast with your loved ones. Show your playful side by picking up your kids and giving them a toss in the air. Give your spouse a sweet peck on the cheek and tell them how much you adore them for being such a great partner to your family.

When it comes to taking great photographs, it's not always necessary for everyone to be staring and smiling at the camera. In fact, some of the best shots are those where everyone is engaged and interacting with each other. So, don't worry if not everyone is looking at the camera and smiling simultaneously. The most heartwarming and cherished pictures are those that capture your family connection and love. When you're enjoying each other's company, your eyes will be focused on your loved ones and your smile will be genuine. And if you've made it this far, you deserve a cookie!
