To all the dads who arrive at your family portrait session with a smile on your face… thank you. I realize family portraits probably aren’t the number one thing on your list of things you want to do that day, or likely even the 37th thing on your list. But the fact that you showed […]
Family Photographs in the Kitchen
Think wall galleries only belong over your fireplace or sofa? While living rooms are the most popular spot for a wall gallery, it’s certainly not the only room we design for. It’s one of the reasons we do an in-home planning appointment before each session. Having you take us on a tour allows us to […]
How to Wear Patterns in Family Photographs
When choosing your outfits for family photographs, we always suggest families incorporate some pattern. It helps to add interest in your outfits and break up all of the solid colours.
