Grace and Sean recently contacted us here at our photography studio in Charlestown, Co. Mayo. They had just moved into a new home together and were looking for some beautiful family images to fill those empty walls. We were happy to help and booked them in for a family photo shoot here in the studio.
Grace and Sean were aiming for casual, relaxed imagery, so as experienced family photographers we suggested a jeans and t-shirt shoot. We generally find this atire easier with regard to moving people around and posing, as it’s not as restrictive as perhaps a short dress and heels outfit! Our shoots often involve some seated images on the ground, and jeans are a lot more suitable for this. This type of clothing suits everyone, young and old, and never dates.
This style family photo shoot also enhances your shoot by creating a feeling of togetherness. It ensures the focus stays on the family, minimising the distraction of individual outfits. With this in mind, we also used a contemporary, dark background to create a modern edge and eliminate the intrusion of surroundings.
