Mountain Cabin Family Photos

We’ve all seen the collection of cringe-worthy “awkward family photos,” but this is NOT that! Family photos can be a fun experience for everybody if you follow these simple rules:

  1. Don’t obsess over “perfect” posed pictures. Embrace the candids!

  2. Relax. Do the session somewhere you’re comfortable, like your own home!

  3. Be yourself. Trust me, we all like your silly self even more than some fake, posed version!

Tips for a Successful Family Photo Session

  • Have FUN! Seriously, let loose and relax.

  • Incorporate activities your family enjoys.

  • Do the session somewhere you know, where everyone is comfortable.

  • Set boundaries. Talk with your photographer about goals and comfort levels.

  • Don’t rush, but also don’t spend too much time. I think 1 hour is ideal for families.

  • Do a lot of little things. Don’t spend your session focused on one kind of picture.

  • Embrace the chaos! Especially with kids, you’ll cherish photos of them being their true selves.
