How to choose a location for your extended family photoshoot
Extended family photoshoot is a wonderful way to capture the love and connection between all members of your family. It is also a great way to document your family’s history and growth over time. Besides being a unique and memorable gift for the whole family, especially the elders, it helps the elders feel included and loved, and provides lasting memories for the younger generations.
Once you decide to invest your time, energy and money into an extended family photoshoot, a logical question of the best location arises. here are a few tips on how to choose the perfect spot:
1. Parks and gardens.
Parks and gardens offer a variety of scenic backdrops for your photos. You can find parks and gardens with everything from playgrounds to ponds to flower beds. An experienced photographer will be able to give you a list of the best places to do a photoshoot in, taking into account the surroundings and lighting.
2. Historic sites.
Think of the places and landmarks that have a special meaning to you and to your family. Doing your extended family photoshoot in front of a beautiful monument that you see for the first time may be cute, but you won’t have a connection to the place. Doing it in the center of the town you grew up in, or at a tiny lake where you spent all your summers, or in a beautiful garden or venue where your grandparents got married, brings the whole experience to a completely different level.
3. Beaches and lakes.
Beaches and lakes are a great option for extended family photo shoots, especially if you’re shooting during the summer months. They offer stunning scenery and plenty of space for everyone to spread out.
4. Your own backyard.
If you have a large backyard, it can be a great place to hold your extended family photo shoot. It’s a convenient and affordable option, and it allows you to personalize the setting to match your family’s style. It also works great for families where some of the members are not very mobile.
5. Your own house.
If the only time you can do the session is later at night, or if it’s freezing or scorching hot outside, or if someone is not mobile, your house may be a pretty good option. It would certainly add some personal character to the images.
No matter where you choose to have your extended family photo shoot, make sure to relax and have fun. With a little planning, you can create beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!
