As a photographer, I've had the privilege of documenting countless moments, but there's a special joy in photographing families as they unwind and bond on vacation together. This atmosphere of ease and joy translates beautifully into family portraits. Genuine smiles, spontaneous laughter, and moments of connection make family pictures on vacation special. This amazing family was no exception.
Taking professional family photos on vacation has practical benefits, too. Everyone is already together, so this makes coordinating a portrait session much easier. The relaxed environment helps even the most camera-shy, (and often littlest) family members feel at ease.
Professional family portraits are more than just pictures; they are a tangible connection to the memories of this time shared together. They become a part of your family's history, something to look back on and share with future generations.
So, the next time you plan a vacation to Seneca Lake, consider booking a family portrait session. Let's capture the essence of your family's togetherness in a beautiful location. Let these family pictures be a reminder of your time spent together, and a treasure you'll hold close to your heart for years to come.
During the summer, we always host one of our Candid Family Mini Sessions at a local playground. We held this particular playground party at Jack’s Place in Penfield NY.
Playgrounds are more than just a space for children to run, climb, and swing—they’re also an ideal backdrop for capturing memorable family moments. As a photographer, I’ve found that playgrounds offer unique advantages for family photos. Here’s 3 reasons why we think they’re great for family portraits:
Playgrounds are designed to encourage play and interaction, so they’re the perfect setting for capturing genuine moments of joy and connection within families. Unlike posed studio shots, playgrounds provide an atmosphere where families can just play. Whether it's a child sliding down a slide, parents pushing swings, or siblings playing tag, these candid moments reflect family dynamics and create authentic, heartfelt family pictures.
Playgrounds offer vibrant, colorful equipment and interesting textures that can enhance your family photos. The bright primary colors of slides and swings contrast with natural elements like trees and grass, creating a an engaging setting that highlights the fun of the moment.
Playgrounds provide diverse settings for creative and candid family portraits. From wide-angle shots of the whole family playing together to close-ups of individual moments, the variety of equipment and spaces allows for creative composition. You can capture everything from energetic action shots to moments of quiet reflection on a park bench. This versatility ensures a rich collection of images showcasing different aspects of family life.
Going to a playground for your family pictures can create a collection of images that are fun, beautiful also full of life and emotion. So next time you’re planning a family portrait session, consider heading to the nearest playground for family pictures that are sure to be enjoyable and memorable.
We had the joy of capturing a family portrait for a sweet little one’s first birthday in Fairport, NY. It’s been a privilege to watch this family grow, and this session was filled with love, laughter, and the delightful chaos of raising two little ones. One of our favorite moments was capturing a candid shot of Mom dancing with her kids on the boardwalk. These portraits will forever remind them of the precious memories made as they embark on this new chapter together.
