Orange County Family Reunion Photographer – At the park
This family was in Newport Beach for their Orange County family reunion and wanted to get a rare photo of the entire group! The main focus for them was the entire extended family and the grand kids/grandparents portrait. While we waited for everyone to arrive, we took photos of each individual family and whatever combos they requested (siblings, cousins, etc.)
Tips For Having a Successful Orange County Family Reunion Portrait Session
- Choose your color palette and share with family members. You can use this free color palette generator.
- Name a family captain. Have family members send photos of their outfits to make sure everything looks great before your session. There is always one oddball!
- Bring treats for the little ones for rewards (no chocolate please!)
- Have family members arrive 20 minutes early at the meeting place
- Be sure to have the women in the photo coordinate their hair and makeup appointments.
- Discuss what everyone wants to do with the photos. Many families decide to purchase all of the digital files to save money or pitch in to buy the grandparents a nice wall canvas.
- Plan something fun to do after the session is over. Grab dinner or a treat! This helps the younger children stay focused on a reward.
