Father and child photoshoot
Tosses, piggyback rides, a toddler on his shoulders and a newborn held in two hands. Father and child frames are often the liveliest in the session, newest first.
Most families in these photographs are wearing their own clothes. The studio wardrobe holds gowns and dresses for mothers only, so if you see a gown you love, send us a screenshot on WhatsApp and we will tell you whether it is ours.
Father and child frames
Play. Most fathers are at their most natural when they are playing. A child thrown up and caught, a race across the floor, a child on his back: Anega sets it up and catches the laugh.
And the still ones. The other side is a newborn held close, a daughter's arms around his neck, a quiet look between the two. Both kinds sit well together in an album.
What fathers wear. Something that sits with the mother's outfit: a well-fitted shirt or a plain knit, solid or subtly patterned, no large prints, neon or logos. A suit works for the dressed-up look.
With more than one child. A father with twins on each knee or two children on his back is a frame families come back to.
What should we wear?
Pick one palette, not one colour: neutrals with one accent, or tones of the same family. Solid colours photograph better than prints, and logos are best left at home. During onboarding we look at what everyone has and suggest combinations.
We are awkward in front of a camera. Will it work?
Yes. Anega leads every pose and keeps things moving, and children usually break the ice within minutes. Most families say they forgot about the camera after the first setup.
How long does a session take?
One dress, meaning one outfit for the family against one backdrop, takes about 35 to 45 minutes. Two dresses take about two hours and three take about three, including outfit changes and breaks for the children.
