Gathering your entire family for a portrait session might seem overwhelming, but with a bit of preparation and the right photographer, it can be an enjoyable and memorable experience. At Phil Hyman Portraits, we create a stress-free environment that allows your family’s personality to shine.

Here are some simple steps to ensure a smooth session:

1. Plan Outfits in Advance – Coordinating colors (without matching too much) help create a cohesive look. Stick to timeless and neutral tones to keep the focus on your family’s expressions.

2. Schedule Wisely – Pick a time when your children are well-rested and in good spirits. Avoid scheduling right before or after a busy day.

3. Keep It Fun—Portraits should be an enjoyable experience, not a chore. Bring along a favorite toy, joke around, and let us capture those candid, joyful moments.  FYI, Alex loves "dad Jokes" so bring your best!

4. Trust the Professionals. Our team knows how to bring out the best in each family member. Whether guiding you through natural poses or capturing spontaneous laughter, we’ll make sure your portraits feel authentic and beautiful.

With a little planning and the right guidance, you will look back on your family portrait session with joy. Let Phil Hyman Portraits take care of the details while you focus on making memories.
