If parks and fields shoots are not your thing, if a backyard session doesn’t ignite your imagination, if studio family photoshoot seems too formal, or if you are looking for something different, and especially if you live in West Hartford or love to go there for a night out, I highly encourage you to consider the Blue Back Square.

Here are some tips for planning your family photoshoot in West Hartford Center:
Choose a date and time that works for everyone.
Make sure to choose a date and time that works for everyone in your family. You don’t want anyone to be cranky or tired on the day of your photoshoot. While the golden hour (an hour before the sunset) is perfect for lighting, you also need to keep in mind that little kids may be tired and sleepy by the time they arrive for the session. Week day nights would be quieter and less crowded too.
Plan your wardrobe.
In a hip city like West Hartford, feel free to dress up a bit. Or, go for stylish casual outfits that would blend in with the crowd pretty well. Make sure to bring comfortable shoes as there may be a lot of walking. A scarf or a blazer, while creating textured layers, may also be handy on cooler spring or fall evenings. Plan your family outfit as a whole. Pick 3-4 colors that go well together, and mix and match.
Bring a change of clothes.
For kids, anyways. With little kids you just never know where that drop of melted ice cream would land, or which puddle they would choose for their glorious fall 🙂
Relax and have fun!
Family photoshoots should be a fun experience for everyone involved. So relax, enjoy the time together, and let your photographer capture your family’s love and laughter.
