FAMILY PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS By Sealey Brandt Photography

I constantly have clients calling me or when I meet them out saying ‘Ah Im so glad I met youas I have been thinking about planning my family photography session but never found theright person or never picked up the phone and made that booking. I feel sad and angry atmyself as my children are now 16 years of age and the last family photography wedid was when they were babies.”

Clearly you can’t take back time, but its not too late.

TIME

Firstly, pregnancy….I love the look of a mother in waiting has. It shows in every part of herbody. She glows at certain times of her pregnancy. I am still amazed how women havechildren. This first stage of their tummies growing and the body changing is incredible.

The next stage is just after giving birth. A new born is incredible. All the body parts are so smalland fresh. One of my favourite images of a new born is at 4 days old. Her mother’s hands cradleher head. The size of the mothers hands is incredible in comparison to the size of the baby.

Around 3 -6 months is my next favourite. They are real little babies and start to smile and really geta good feeling of who you are so they react. You can really start to see who they looklike….mum…dad, a mixture.

12 months or thereabouts is the next great stage as they are really little people. They are walking,talking and full of personality.

Teenagers, I like as they have an interesting awkwardness to them sometimes. They are reallyfinding themselves. Braces can be a special part of a shoot as it is a period of one’s life and theage shines through.
