Everyone has a different way of dealing with the pandemic around the world right now and what was normal, no longer is. In a world where we must self isolate to protect our families, kids are now being home schooled, work is now being done from home, and you are even celebrating major milestones (like crawling or walking, celebrating a major birthday)from home. Parents everywhere have been improvising special moments from creating a club for a 21st birthday to setting up their own personal Disney Park at home. We want these moments from home to still be special to your family and be able to capture these moments on your own.
You may have had one of these milestone sessions scheduled with us and we have had to postpone until it is safe to begin shooting again. So while you may capture some of these memories at home, please remember we are a small business that will rely on your support when this all over. Don’t let these photos at home take the place of the session you had scheduled with us but let it instead be a part of the memory. We honestly enjoy being part of those milestones too.
Here are some tips to take photos at home:
You don’t need a fancy camera to get some great shots, most cell phones have a decent camera on it. Take your time with your kids, but also know their breaking point.
We hope these tips help you get some great shots and we would love if you share some them with us via email at info@bigappleportraits or tag us on Facebook or Instagram @bigapplepix and use the hashtag #portraitsathome
