I’m a Bristol Family Photographer and I photograph families of all sizes. I absolutely love my job!
I love to photograph families outdoors so I thought I’d write a post about the benefits of choosing a family outdoor session with me.
Outdoor family photography offers a unique opportunity to capture fun and authentic moments while embracing the beauty of nature. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to create lasting memories with family, outdoor photography provides a wealth of benefits that indoor studio settings can’t always replicate.
NATURAL LIGHT
One of the most significant advantages of outdoor family photography is the natural light. Soft, golden hour light (during sunrise or sunset) adds warmth and depth to photographs, creating an ethereal glow which is very flattering to skin tones and people of all ages.
RELAXED COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT
When families are photographed outdoors, they tend to feel more at ease. Whether you’re playing at the park, or exploring a favourite outdoor location, these settings allow for genuine interactions. This relaxed atmosphere leads to more candid and authentic photos, capturing the true essence of family bonds.
VARIETY OF BACKDROPS
Outdoor photography offers endless possibilities for backdrops, from bluebell woods to vibrant flower fields to beaches and even your garden. Each location provides a unique atmosphere, which helps to tell a different story through each family photo session. With the right choice of location, your photos will reflect the personality of your family and the beauty of nature. As a Bristol family photographer I have lots of ideas for locations.
ENCOURAGES MOVEMENT AND PLAY
Outdoor settings naturally lend themselves to more dynamic and playful photos. Children especially enjoy being able to run around, jump, and interact with their surroundings. Whether it’s playing hide and seek or running through long grasses, they will have fun and that’s important for good photos.
TIMELESS APPEAL
Nature never goes out of style, and photos taken outdoors retain their charm year after year. When you look back at your family portraits years later, the natural surroundings will still evoke fond memories of your time spent together.
CONNECTION WITH NATURE
Spending time outdoors has its own set of benefits for families. It encourages quality time together while promoting mental and physical well-being. When you choose outdoor family photography, you’re not just capturing memories; you’re also strengthening your connection with nature and your loved ones.
