Members was not fun. They didn't want to take formal pics. Not even formal, just fun family pictures at a studio. But after the fact they raved and loved the idea.
I put a color scheme together for the photos. After looking at AWESOME pinterest ideas, and then applying the reality of us, the ladies were asked to wear cream and the gents either blue or grey. OF COURSE my mom appeared in grey with a pink scarf. But that's okay because at the end of the day the pics turned out great, everyone was happy, and Grandmas pic hangs in her home - with all 15+ of her descendants. And that's pretty cool!
- Don't shoot for perfect.
- DO have color guidelines. But know that the shades will vary person to person.
- Smile, breathe, relax.
- Arrive early
- Be extra sweet to the photographer, even if they are cranky!
