Aris Affairs Photography shares tips for Fall family photos in Prescott

Soon the monsoons will be over and Fall will be right around the corner. Aris Affairs Photography thinks the Fall is a great time to take advantage of Prescott's natural beauty and the perfect opportunity to begin the holiday season with a family photo shoot.

Here are a few great ideas for capturing family fun in the Fall:

Playing in the leaves
What's better than playing in the leaves! You'll have a ton of fun and it's one of the easiest ways for your photographer to capture candid shots of the whole family.

Strolling among beautiful fall colors
Depending on the time of day and lighting conditions, you'll find Fall's ever-changing palette of greens, reds and yellows a beautiful backdrop for you and your spouse or you and the whole family to enjoy a lovely, leisurely stroll together.

Invite the pumpkins
It's not fall without a few pumpkins. Newborns, young babies and toddlers are especially adorable surrounded by a friendly stack of pumpkins.

Take advantage of our woods
With trees abounding in and around Prescott, the woods are a great place to create some rustic, earthy shots especially in stands of trees that have turned their brilliant fall colors.

Dress
By wearing muted, neutral soft colors, it will allow you and the beautiful scenery to be front and center instead of your clothing. Add some great accessories like knitted caps, scarves and tall boots to finish off your outfits.

Summer will soon be over and Prescott's trees will be changing color. Capture the beauty of autumn and call Aris Affairs Photography to schedule your Fall family photo shoot.

Aris Affairs Photography, family photographer in Prescott, shares why photographs matter

Have you ever stumbled onto an old photograph to find that it triggered memories and details long forgotten? Do photographs of your newborns rekindle those days for you despite the decades that have passed? Prescott family photographer, Aris Affairs Photography, illuminates some of the reasons that photographs matter so much to us.

Our photographs define us
“Our photographs” is one of the most common answers when people are asked what would they rescue from their burning home, if they had time and everyone, both human and animal, were safe. Notice that pictures are more likely to be grabbed before other valuables like jewelry. It seems pictures have a great hold on us. When we are faced with losing everything, it is our pictures, our history, our precious memories that we strive to protect and preserve. Birthdays, holidays, family, new homes, marriages and babies are recorded because they matter; because they're important. They define us. They provide a timeline, the story of our lives.

Photographs are a part of the legacy we leave
It probably doesn't occur to most that as a picture is taken, it will probably outlast everyone - from the one who took it to whoever is being photographed. A generation or two may pass as someone is shuffling through some old papers when they stumble across a stack of photographs. They find the never-before seen image of their once-young grandparents or mom and dad. There they may discover a photo of the house where they were born or someone's first car. Photographs which may have little importance or significance at the time they're taken can be a priceless treasure years later as they reveal someone’s legacy.

Photographs allow us to communicate
How many pictures do you upload to Snapchat, Instagram or Facebook? They communicate our interests, our loves, our priorities. They communicate what we think is beautiful and interesting. They communicate our creative genius. They are more than a record. They communicate our life.

Photographs tell our story, leave a legacy and communicate our best self to others. Prescott family photographer, Aris Affairs Photography, can help you accomplish all three. If you have an important event coming up, a special day or just want a record of your beautiful life today, call us at 928-642-4049.

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 suggests a Mommy and Me photo shoot in Prescott

Mommy & Me photos. Have you heard of this new trend in professional photo sessions? It gives moms the opportunity to create a lasting reminder of that very special relationship they have with their children. Aris Affairs Photography answers the where, what, when and why before you schedule your Prescott Mommy & Me session.

Why schedule a Mommy & Me photo shoot?
If you're like most moms, you're busy taking picture after picture from behind the camera, not in front of it. Selfies are fun, but everyone can see the problem: endless weird angles and distorted views. It's because of this that the trend of Mommy & Me photo sessions are on the rise.

Where to shootWhere are your favorite photos from? The more your photographer knows about you and your favorite places, the better she'll be able to work with you to create the perfect location. If the pictures are for a special occasion, that can help your photographer know where to shoot as well.

What to wearMommy & Me sessions are a fantastic opportunity to get creative and get out of the box. Dress-up sessions and themed shoots are very popular, especially with the kids - and they are fun for the moms, too.

When to shoot
Parents know firsthand that their children's schedules are radically different from their own. The most important thing is to schedule your photo session during a time that your kids aren't normally ready for a nap or a rest or hungry. Yes, we know...when aren't they hungry?

What to bring
Remember we're talking about kids, so bring a change of outfits, water, snacks, and for the littlest ones a favorite toy or cuddly stuffed friend.

These moments really don’t last forever so take the opportunity to capture them while you can! If you're ready for a Prescott Mommy & Me photo shoot, call Aris Affairs Photography today at 928-642-4049. Learn more at http://www.arisaffairs.com.

Aris Affairs Photography, your local Prescott professional photographer, shares fun holiday photo ideas

The Holiday Season is officially upon us which means you're probably about to gather the family for your annual family portrait. Good news! Aris Affairs Photography, your local Prescott professional photographer, would like to offer these fun and creative ideas to help make this year's family holiday photos your best.

Pose like your kid's family drawing
Do you have your child's favorite family 'portrait' on your fridge door? Have fun recreating your little one's view of the family.

Take advantage of the fall
If you can't rely on a beautiful new winter snow backdrop, take advantage of fall's glorious colors and have fun tossing those brilliant autumn leaves into the air to capture some childhood magic.

Transplant the sofa
Temporarily relocate your sofa outside to the back porch, deck, or even into the backyard for a casual but intimate family portrait. Add a Merry Christmas banner with a few festive holiday lights to top off the look.

Frame the family
Play with an empty frame by trying out different poses. Let your youngest ones pose in front or squish your whole family together behind the frame.

Use props
Props give holiday photos a unique twist. Period outfits, an all-hat look or loads of jewelry can make holiday photos really memorable. Don't forget, bigger and brighter can be a lot of fun!

Say it with words
Choose a word that perfectly describes what your family or holidays mean to you then ask each person to hold a letter of that word.

Be decorated
Let the little ones have a ball decorating the parents or grands like a Christmas tree. The images will be enjoyed and treasured for years.

Stop by a tree farm
Your local tree farm can provide an idyllic setting for just about any holiday photo.

Sharing news
Let your loved ones, friends and distant relatives in on any news with a bright and cheery chalkboard message. Whether it's the parents, grandparents, or the youngsters holding the chalkboard, this little detail makes a regular picture extra special.

Aris Affairs Photography wants to help you make this year's holiday portrait your most fun and memorable. To schedule your Prescott holiday photo shoot, call us today at 928-642-4049 or visit us at http://www.arisaffairs.com.
