Thanksgiving Photoshoots!
Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and we can practically hear the food being cooked in the kitchens across the country. So, you might be wondering how this relates to a photography blog. We’re here to share our favorite tips to not only have a good family photoshoot for Thanksgiving (some people actually are able to squeeze these in somehow!), but to also use these same tips for taking your own memorable photos.
Enjoying each other’s company
One tip to capture in your photos are the fact that you and your family are enjoying their time together. It might be busy, but being able to capture all the smiles and laughs in a photo can be really impactful and special. This could look like candid photos, taken without the subject knowing. These types of photos truly capture the essence of relationships within the group.
Make your table set up look nice
One thing that may go without saying is to have a nice table set up if you are planning to take any photos of the food. It not only feels nice to have a beautiful table set up, but can definitely make for some really good group shots and photos.
Eating is part of the fun!
Since it’s Thanksgiving, it would be bad if we couldn’t recommend a photo idea if you are actually eating. Be sure to get photos of people eating and enjoying, because the set up is only half the fun. This is a good moment to capture anyone making a goofy face that would be great as a photo or everyone looking happy that their food tastes so good!
Dress for the occasion
Let’s face it, we all like to get dressed up really nice just to go to a dinner, might as well make the outfits count. Dressing for fall or Thanksgiving will make for some memorable pictures around the nicely dressed table or outside in the fall foliage. If you choose the route of a professional photoshoot, you should be deciding on a color scheme that everyone can follow easily. Since you’ll likely have extended family or distant relatives, it’s best to choose colors that you know everyone will have.
