Grace and Sean recently contacted us here at our 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 photoshoot 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 attire easier with regard to moving people around and posing as its not as restrictive as perhaps a short dress and heels outfit! We also like to capture some ground images and jeans are a lot more suitable for this. This type of clothing suits everyone, young and old, and never dates. It also enhances a family shoot by creating a feeling of togetherness, and ensures the focus stays on the family, by 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.
