How to Prepare for Your Family Photoshoot in Amsterdam
1. Coordinate outfits, don’t match perfectly
Choose:
Neutrals
Earth tones
Soft pastels
Avoid:
Bright neon colors
Distracting patterns
Text or logos
2. Bring comfort items for young children
Helpful items include:
Snacks
A favourite toy
A warm jacket
Baby wipes
Water bottle
Happy kids = great photos.
3. Choose the right time of day
For outdoor sessions:
Golden hour (sunrise/sunset) is best
Midday produces harsh shadows
