In this episode, Mark caught up with Megan at her home where she converted her garage into a very unique studio. The studio provides a unique down to earth feel for every type of photo. Megan also talks about how important it is to make her clients feel right at home from start to finish. People tend to stand stiff and rigid when you position them, so you need to get them to bend a few body parts to look more natural.

After all, family photography portraits capture a moment in time with those you care for most. They are treasured memories. Perhaps you decide to start an event, wedding or portraiture business, where family and group shots are standard. You need to show these people in their best light. In order to do this, a good bet is to rely on a professional. A family portrait photographer will have all the equipment necessary as well as the know how to get the best shots that the whole family can treasure for years to come.

Of course, if family photography were as simple as picking up a camera and shouting ‘say cheese!’, we’d all be doing it. But it’s not; there are a ton of little intricacies to it. Often, the members of the family or group are inexperienced models in front of the camera. You need to make them feel comfortable and at ease. Natural images are the best, but they shouldn’t all be candid. You should let the photographer take control, and enjoy the end result!. The family is the one that supplies the mood, tone and the action. As such you won’t always get exactly what you visualized in your head, but you will get a nice captured memory, natural and real.
