Holidays in the Studio | Extended Family Photo Session
This Extended Family wanted their holiday photos taken together. So, we met up at the ALightCollab Studio in Pflugerville, Texas, which was decked out for Christmas.
Tips for an Extended Family Photo Session at the ALightCollab Photo Studio:
- COMFORT: This indoor studio has plenty of seating, so if you’re rotating family members in and out of shots, the people “off-set” have comfortable places to sit and chat together, either downstairs or upstairs.
- AMENITIES: This studio also has a kitchen stocked with snacks and drinks for any hungry teenagers you may have on hand. There’s also a restroom for changing outfits.
- LIGHTING: You can rent continuous lighting with your studio fee. Or you have plenty of space to bring in your own studio lights. With the tall ceilings, I could use two seven-foot umbrellas with no problems.
- DISTANCE: If your clients are based in North Austin, this studio is convenient to travel to with plenty of easy parking out front.
- POSING: My top tip for posing large groups is to try and create triangles with positions so your eye moves around the frame. Also – to make sure there are points of connection between each family member.
- HOLIDAY SETS: Keep an eye out for their holiday sets (which change every year). Those give you multiple backdrops to use when posing. But they also always have the rolling neutral wall you can use as well.
