| Tips for taking the best holiday photos. |
|
| |  | Gear up for the big day. | It doesn’t take much to achieve success—You can do it with just one camera and one lens. Don’t just use traditional portrait focal lengths above 85mm either. When capturing groups, it helps to go wider and capture some of the surrounding environment in your shots. |
|
|  | To pose or not to pose? | Try a mix of posed shots and candids so that you can cover all your bases. When everyone is holding a pose, shooting in continuous mode helps, as you’re more likely to capture the right time when everyone smiles, looks their best and has their eyes open. |
|
|  | Have fun, don't overstay your welcome. | These family sessions should be fun shoots, and to make sure they stay fun, keep them short. Get the shots you need in less than an hour. |
