Fall Family Photoshoot Tips

This post is sponsored by adidas. Thank you for supporting the brands who support this blog.

A new season is the perfect time for new family photos! This year, we wanted to go for a sportier look for our seasonal shoot and the boys could not have been happier! I love that with adidas, our family can stay on trend, yet work so well with our active lifestyles. This time, I wanted to prepare ahead of time to make sure everything went smoothly. In the past, this kind of photoshoot tends to be a little stressful, especially with trying to keep Aims still while helping to pose Ben! Here are some tips that worked well for our family to ensure we got the best shots.

Be Comfortable & Confident

Think of Posing Tips Beforehand

Sometimes it’s really hard to get guys to pose for a camera! This time I took it upon myself to give Ben five tips in preparation for the photoshoot! I honestly think having these little reminders in his head helped him to be more mindful and therefore more confident during the shoot. Ultimately this resulted in much more natural looking photos, that we both feel great about!

Here are the tips I gave Ben!

  1. Only serious faces away from the camera

  2. Laugh at the camera so you can get a genuine smile

  3. Keep your hand attached to body or surface, (his adidas Training Pants were great so he could casually have his hands in his pockets!)

  4. Move when the camera moves, only pause movement for 3 seconds at a time.

  5. Keep feet flat on the ground
