Family Digital Posing Guide

Since becoming a parent, I have truly grown to love documenting families. I now understand what this type of love is all about, and it makes me even more honoured to document it for my clients -- there is no better gift I could give.

Family sessions are fun, challenging, and 'oh so packed' with emotions. Each one is so unique and as much as you can plan and prepare, you never know what is to come -- typically just beautiful chaos. There are special bonds and unique relationships within a family unit, and each one is a story of its own. Children grow and change so quickly, and moments are gone before you know it.  Family sessions allow us, as creatives, to tell a story.  Although, more often than not the children tell it for us, and we are just there to capture it. 

This guide showcases poses for you to try out yourself and provides you with a boost of inspiration and ideas.  Some of the cards will provide a prompt or question for you to try with the children, others will provide shooting tips, and some will explain what makes the pose effective in evoking emotion/enhances storytelling.

Most of these poses/roles/ideas can be used interchangeably between your subjects and also work for your LGBTQ families.

These cards are provided in a digital format which may either be saved to your phone or printed out. Once purchase is complete you will be able to download the files from your checkout page.
