Portraiture Photography

When is the right time to organise a portrait of your family?

The answer is “now”.

If you’ve been thinking of doing it, think no longer and just do it! It’s all too easy to let time slip away. Why not capture your family as it is right at this moment.

Donagh will call to your home and set up a studio there thus ensuring that all members are relaxed in their own familiar surroundings. For your convenience the images can be viewed immediately after the session on laptop and ordered at that time.

Preparation for shoot

What to wear to the shoot?

There are no hard and fast rules of what to wear for your portrait, but here are some pointers to consider:

Choose whether your portrait is to be formal or casual and get all family members to dress accordingly, try not to mix styles. Wear clothes that your family would normally wear, so your style and character comes through and then are you comfortable with your look.

Avoid logos or branding as these will distract from the people in the portrait.

Pastel or light colours are more flattering, keeping the emphasis on the faces.

Think of your colour scheme. If you have a place in a room picked out to hang your portrait, try to compliment the clothes with the environment of the room.

Babies and young children:

Book your portrait with your little one’s clock, avoid meal and nap times. Have a favourite toy handy which can be used as a prop, but don’t bring goodies as these can add to anxiety. You can promise a treat after the session.

Don’t hesitate to contact Donagh for further advice.
