Cinematic Non Traditional Family Photoshoot – Nehalem Bay, Oregon Coast

 

Family sessions can be extremely stressful and hectic. Here are a couple of tips to help it all go smoothly:

  • Bring snacks and treats (just no chocolate or anything messy that could melt. Also nothing that will take long to snack on like lollipops)

  • For outfits, start with neutrals and then add one or two pops of color

  • Think about things you already like to do together and how can you incorporate those things into your session. How can a photographer capture how you naturally engage and interact together

  • Bring tissue/wet wipes for any messy cleanup

  • Feel free to take breaks, usually, that’s when photographers can snap some nice candid moments

“It was our first time working with Myla and we loved how our family photos turned out! It was everything we wanted to be. Myla was professional, flexible, patient and so easy to work with even before the shoot started! Her expertise in her medium was shown through our amazing photos. We would highly recommend Myla to anyone in the Portland area!” Linh Nugyen
