how do you shoot single-parent families? my first family session is with a single mom and her two older sons. any ideas on how to pose them?
Thank you for this video. When you shoot a family session and take images of the children running around the parents, how do you get them all in focus, and what aperture? I usually focus on the person in the middle, but I’m not sure about this situation.
excellent! thanks for sharing!!
Great video. Very helpful!
Wow! I’ve seen many of these videos. Yours is trully the best. Not only a photographer, but a good teacher. Thanks. ❤
this was so helpful thank you!! Feeling more excited about my family shoot tonight 🙂
Hello 🙂 Do you have some pose prompt ideas for families with young adults in their twenties? Thank you.
Great video! Super helpful and a delight to watch!
This was SOO helpful!!
Great video! The "Ew" pose is definitely one I agree is so fun for kids! What kind of posing would you do for a family of 5 with the youngest being a newborn or a sitter? Curious to hear your thoughts. Keep up the great work!
On your website it says you can buy the presets individually for $20 each, but I only see the 4-pack option for $197. Am I missing something?
Love all these ideas.. except the hand in the pocket; for some reason that doesn’t work for me.. takes away the natural aspect in my opinion 🙂
Just an all around awesome video. Huge thank you.
Rebecca – you are absolutely the best! Your advice is pure gold and I’m learning a ton from all your videos!!!!! And I love your personality! You are a natural photographer and a teacher. Absolutely the best!
Great stuff and awesome presentation! First time finding you on YT, just subscribed and picked up both your ‘Complete Family Posing System’ and ‘Ultimate Client Experience Bundle’ from your website. Thank you very much!
Hi Rebecca. Thank you so much for this video. It has been so helpful. I was looking to purchase some templates in your shop which is shown as discounted for those who watch your videos but when added to the cart, it’s not discounted accordingly. Is there a code for the 50% off?
Great video of ideas and your experience with these tips and tricks. You rock!
This was actually super helpful. I’m a cinematographer mostly, but I’m getting more portrait requests lately. Thanks for the helpful ideas!
This has been one of the most detailed / structured posing guide for family photoshoots that is truly enjoyable to digest and super exciting to put into practice!
Thank you so much for making this video as I’m forever grateful.
Thank you so much, I have my fisrt family shoot tomorrow and this was a lifesaver 🤩
Many thanks. This is suoer helpful
Thank you so much for this! I’m going on my first family photo shoot as an assistant to a friend who’s a photographer and mentoring me. 📸
Your photo prompts are great, I love the genuine moments they create.
Thank you for posting this! Have my first family photoshoot this weekend and was really worried about how to pose them. Definitely have some great ideas now!
💫💥🙌🙌
Great video! Thank you!
Very helpful as I try to learn new photography skills!
thank you so much for the wonderful tips!
This is so helpful, thank you!!
I’ve done the "look at each other," but telling them to switch it up so they get that moment of laughter is a great tip
This is literally my rule. Everyone has to be touching and be close. ❤
Wow!! What awesome tips!! Thank you soooo much!
OMG!!! TY TY TY!!!! Exactly what is was looking for!!! TY TY
Great advice! Very helpful! Thank you 🙏🏻😀
Is there time for all of these in the mini sessions?
Super great ideas!!! And home run on the presentation. 😀
GREAT video. Thank you for this! Definitely getting your posing prompts guide
I would have really enjoyed this video more if you showed photo examples after each tip , I couldn’t visualize what you were talking about
What f stop do you use when the family is walking towards you? Curious because I’d want everyone in focus as much as possible. Thanks.
Great video! Only thing I’d say is maybe more ideas and tips for single parent families as well!
Thank you for all yoyr knowledge this information will help me so much. What settings di you use for walking shots?
I’m seeing my favorite place-Addriatica ❤
this was so helpful! i have my first family photoshoot of six and the kids are all older, any posing prompts for them
Thank you the great video! Where I can get the free session ideas?
I like your poses, so thank you for sharing that. I don’t much care for the overexposed photo look.
I have my first extended family shoot in two hours and this video is SO extremely helpful. God bless you. Thank you. ❤
I’m a beginner Photographer about to do my first ever family photoshoot. Not too sure what they are looking for 🤷♀️. But do you have any advice for being a super beginner, although your video was super duper helpful!! Thanks
Great tips! Thank you : )
This is full of SOOOO many good tips, it’s wonderful! Thank you very much 💖
Exactly what I was looking for!
