Family photoshoot

Creative for FAMILY PHOTOSHOOT with Olga Trofymets

VISION

  • Should look like a storybook, feel like a classic modern day story.

  • These are our first “proper” photos as a complete family. 

  • Most importantly we want to frame these photos for table top frames and wall hanging.

LOOKS FROM WHAT WE HAVE AT HOME

LOCATIONS

  1. MARIN HILLS

  2. CORTE MADERA

  3. RODEO BEACH

SHOTLIST

  1. A few shots of mom and daughter - I have NO nice photos of Maya and me together since I am usually the one doing the photography. - landscape and portrait orientation. 

  2. Few shots of dad and Maya - again both orientations landscape and portrait.

  3. Maya’s hands in my hands closeup , in dad’s hands closeup, in both our hands closeup

  4. Maya holding our hands

  5. Maya mid air when I play with her, throwing up in the air - she smiles wide when we do this, so a mid-low angle shot of this. 

  6. Single portrait of Maya 

COMPOSITIONS & LIGHTING

  • I don’t want us to get lost in the frame, it would be nice to have wide shots but may be fewer extreme wide shots. 

  • I want a few shots of classic family photo featuring all 3 of us, against beautiful background and SF city background, faces visible - landscape and portrait orientation
