Family photoshoots are cherished opportunities to capture and preserve the love and joy within your family. Holiday tree farm sessions offer a picturesque backdrop that adds a touch of rustic charm to your photographs. To ensure a successful and enjoyable experience, it's essential to know what to expect and how to prepare. In this blog post, I'll guide you through what to anticipate during a family tree farm photoshoot, so you can make the most of this memorable occasion.

Sessions are quick so come prepared.

A family tree farm photoshoot often consists of capturing candid and authentic moments amidst the beauty of the surroundings. Tree farm session’s are usually fast-paced, the goal is to capture the spontaneity and natural interactions within your family. To make the most of this limited time, arrive prepared with any props or special items you want to incorporate into the shoot. Make sure to arrive a little early so everyone in your family is prepared and ready to go when your session starts.

Dress for the weather.

When it comes to choosing outfits for a tree farm photoshoot, consider the weather and the natural environment. Tree farms often have a rustic, outdoor setting, so opt for clothing that complements the surroundings. Choose comfortable attire that allows you to move freely and encourages spontaneous interactions. Coordinating colors among family members can create a cohesive and visually appealing result. Keep in mind that the weather might change throughout the shoot, so bring extra layers or accessories to adapt to any temperature shifts.

Be ready to move - a lot.

Unlike formal studio portraits, family tree farm photoshoots embrace movement and activity. Expect to walk, explore, and engage in various activities as I capture your family's dynamics. You may be asked to stroll hand in hand through the rows of trees, cuddle up close, or play games together. Embrace these moments and let your genuine emotions and connections shine through. The more you engage with your loved ones, the more authentic and heartwarming the final images will be.

You won’t be ask to look at the camera much - if at all.

One of the unique aspects of a family tree farm photoshoot is the emphasis on candid shots. While some posed pictures may be included, the focus is often on capturing your family’s interactions and genuine expressions. This means you may not be asked to constantly look directly at the camera. Instead, I will aim to immortalize the unscripted moments of joy, laughter, and tenderness that occur naturally between family members. Be yourself, relax, and have some fun.

A family tree farm photoshoot provides a remarkable setting for creating beautiful and lasting memories with your loved ones. By understanding what to expect and preparing accordingly, you can make the most of this unique experience. Remember to come prepared, dress weather-appropriate, embrace movement and activity, and allow for authentic interactions. The result will be a collection of treasured photographs that reflect the love, happiness, and cherished moments within your family for years to come.
