Create a Unique Photoshoot With Your Photographer!!!

Take photo shoots to the next level by collaborating with your photographer.

Take a trip back in time and look at all the portraits that you have or your family have done in the past. More than likely, you will spot the iconic senior portrait with the big hair and cocked head, hand slightly touching the face and smiling at the camera. Maybe it was your last family session where everyone was tightly bunched together trying to smile through the frustration of the kids not getting along with each other. The list goes on and on but the one common trend is that, even though they are nice pictures and may spur wonderful memories, the poses and themes are boring.

So why do we settle for the run-of-the-mill portrait sessions? What keeps you coming back over and over again to have the same pictures taken with different people? I think, it could be a lack of understanding on what to expect from a photography session. Even though it is captured by a photographer, each session should always be a collaboration of what the photographer has in their mind as well as what the client is wanting. A great photographer will go the extra mile to ensure that your experience has you walking away with a smile on your face and a new-found confidence in yourself. Maybe, you will also find a new love for the photographer in the mix. I mean, let’s face it, these are images that you are going to hang in your home or give to loved ones!

A masquerade mask and other props provides a fun way to add some flair into a session.

That said, why not have a uniquely fun session? Talk to your photographer about ideas you may have that you want to try. Maybe it is a themed shoot where the family dresses up in a “retro” look from the 50’s. Maybe it is a glamour shoot that you want to surprise you significant other with. Maybe, it is a series of funny faces. In any case, have fun with you shoot! Make it uniquely yours and OWN IT! The best part is that you will feel so comfortable that it will take the session to an entirely new height.

So start thinking about a session that you want to have fun with. Reach out to your photographer and get the conversation started. Let your imagination run wild and get ready for a whole new photography experience!
