Lifestyle photoshoots are guided and somewhat posed - so you do not have to worry about this! I will be posing you and giving you some prompts that will help us create natural, candid moments. They work for big families and smaller ones and are perfect for portrait or pregnancy photoshoots.

We can use prompts like:

Lean over his shoulder and whisper into his/her ear.

Hold your hands and look at the person who laughs the loudest.

Hold your hands, and walk towards me like your hips are glued together.

Parents are hugging each other and kids are running around you.

I will pose you and ask you not to smile! (which a lot of times gives the opposite reaction and we get great natural smiles).

We can also use some weird ones:

Sniff his temple! Or Kiss with your teeth.

Even the weirdest ones are made to create certain poses, and smiles - and if one does not work, I have a list of others to try.

We can also play some music to dance around together (in a controlled manner). How fun that can be!

1. I will do my best so the photoshoot is not boring for your kids.

2. Ask your kids if they have any questions to a photographer I will happily answer them!

3. Maybe your kids would like to pose mom and dad?

4. We will be moving around, running, jumping, and playing - hopefully they will like it!

5. There will be no "sit still, smile at the camera" moments.

6. Try instead reminding your kids to smile - make them laugh. Tickle, tell a joke or make a funny face. Is there anything in particular that will make them smile?

7. I can also ask your kids to help me a bit - I will lend them a camera (it is water, dust, mad, shock resistance so don't worry) - that works sometimes amazingly

This type of photoshoot also allows for heavy edits in postproduction - but it can extend your waiting period for your pictures so we will discuss it ahead of time.

That is a very good question. And an important one. I will calm you at first - you do not need to go buy a new wardrobe (but ... it can be a good excuse to do so).

Choosing the right clothing for a lifestyle photoshoot is important, as it contributes to the overall aesthetic of the images. Here are some tips to help you and your family dress appropriately for a lifestyle photoshoot.

Yes, I do. Check them out here.

You can choose one dress for free. Each other is 50 Euro extra. ( they will get quite dirty and need to be washed by hand).

Do you prefer a forest photoshoot? Or city? Or lake? or river? or maybe just pure open space?

In Vianen we have it all (almost)!

When choosing a place we will take into account the time of our photoshoot, the possibility of parking nearby, and the possibility of relocating if needed.

We can also combine locations to make it more diverse.

Can we bring an extra person?

How long our photoshoot will take?

Can we bring our animals?

What if the weather will change?

How long we will be waiting for pictures?

Can we later buy more pictures?

Do you sell any prints?

It is the best choice for whatever you like as long as posed, candid photos are what you are looking for.

Item descWe will first start with the date and location. We will also plan one date extra to be sure that we will outsmart the weather.

when that is settled I will send you a questionnaire with questions about your expectations, needs, wants, and don'ts.

You will also receive a contract to sign.

I will ask you to send me photos of your outfit choices (also to motivate you to do it a week before the photoshoot not a day before).

The day before our photoshoot I will check the weather and we will be in contact if the photoshoot next day or if we will be postponing. Sometimes it can be a matter of moving the photoshoot an hour earlier or later. So we will check if that is possible.

Big day! First few minutes of our time together we will chat, get to know each other a bit and we will see where we are starting. Are kids excited - let's do the pictures of little ones first. Are they a bit shy? Let's leave them be for a moment and do the parents' pictures first. I will ask your kids to help me a bit - I will lend them a camera (it is water, dust, mad, shock resistance so don't worry) - that works sometimes amazingly.

After we will say our goodbyes, I will come back home. Upload all pictures and secure them in two different places.

I will start my selection and edits.

Within two weeks you will receive your gallery where you can choose pictures that you love the most and which you will receive as a file and in a photobook.ription
