Aris Affairs Photography, your local Prescott family photographer, suggests poses for your family photo

A professional family photo is a great way to beautifully capture precious moments with your loved ones. Among the many aspects of professional photos to consider such as dress and location is posing. Aris Affairs Photography offers Prescott families some easy posing tips to get the best photos.

Before the Shoot
Discomfort usually has a way of showing up in the pictures so it is important to make everyone's comfort a priority. Candid photos are fun but did you know that posing for professional photos can be fun, too? Posing doesn't come easily for many of us so having some poses in mind can make all the difference.

Goofing Around
Goofing around offers you the best of both worlds. While parents, grandparents or older siblings are casually posed on the floor, the toddlers and younger ones can engage them in any number of activities including crawling over them, under their legs, sitting in their laps or being engulfed by a group hug and kisses. Having fun with your family in a professional studio setting is also a great way to get comfortable in front of a camera...maybe so comfortable that you forget where you are.

Formal poses
More 'formal' poses might include gathering the family in any number of arrangements including from tallest to shortest, boys and girls together (including mom and dad), or oldest to youngest or mix it up any way that makes the best shots. It's important to be close to one another and united by touch. Any noticeable gaps between members of the family can appear to imply distance.

No matter what poses you decide upon, the family photography experts in Prescott, Aris Affairs Photography, will give you plenty of helpful hints and flexibility. Making sure your family is having a great time that will result in unforgettably beautiful memories of your best-loved is what we do best. Time is precious.

Aris Affairs Photography Talks About Flattering Poses for Prescott Photo Shoots

Like most things in life, not all poses are created equal in the work of photography - one size definitely does not fit all. The reason is that most adults don’t have their pictures taken on a regular basis and they feel awkward in front of the camera. Trisha Shaffer at Aris Affairs Photography, your professional photographer in Prescott, says: “I love to work with my clients to find a pose that works for them.” There are a number of things to keep in mind:

Camera Angle - This can make a huge difference in the photo you capture. One of my goals is to always make sure the subject is shown through my lens in a flattering manner ~ even if that means balancing on a stool and ducking under my lighting shade or crawling on the floor with infants!

Play - Once I’ve found a flattering camera angle we can then play with some motion to find the best location for hair, arms, hands, etc. I always try to remember that any limbs facing straight into the camera will appear shortened, which is not the look we want.

Relax - This is needed for both the photographer and the subject. In order to get a natural looking photograph, communication between the photographer and the subject is important. As a professional photographer I often find that I can reassure my subjects and get them to relax through positive comments and gentle hints. A natural pose also helps keep the subject at ease.

Background - As a professional photographer I also know that having the proper background for a photograph is very important and sets a mood. Having a variety of backgrounds to use allows the client to help create the feel he/she wants in their photos.

Quick and Easy - Since most people aren’t comfortable being photographed, by having the proper equipment like lights, backgrounds and cameras ready to go, I can take a number of pictures in a short period of time making the session much easier for my subjects. By taking a large number of pictures quickly, it normally gives us a wide variety of facial expressions to choose from - and it only has to be perfect for 1/1000th of a second!!

Let us choose the right pose for you and turn your life and photos into art.
