Thats for this video, it would have been great if you had added some of the photos of this session so we see how they turned out. Thank you, I am a big fun of you guys x
Thank you for this video!! I’ve done a few family sessions already and have dreaded it every single time. I get so stressed before, and then during I panic and don’t know what to do. I just did one after watching this and it went amazingly!!! These Behind the Scenes are priceless - please keep it going!
This part 1 and part 2 video was so good. I have been doing photography for about 7 years and am now thinking about doing portraits. But being 57, and knowing my patience isn't all that great, I have been reluctant to do family sessions with smaller kids. This was so helpful!! I subscribed

Hi there! The biggest thing is to find shade to shoot in and make sure it’s not spotty shade ( if possible) and then we like to do ISO 200 and for families F3.5 or so. :)
Hello 👋, this video is great 👏😀. Love it 😍 helps me a lot, thank you for the video! Just wondering what setting you used for walking photo and what lens you used, please? I am going to watch your other video now 😊
@@esquared.photography Did you keep your settings for the entire session? If not, can you please share an example of a time when you changed the settings? I am brand new and have mini sessions this coming weekend. Thank you.

I am wondering when taking these walking shots are you starting your SP at 1/250 or lower I know they are not moving that fast but where do you start ?
So I just did my 1st family photo shoot yesterday! It was one of my friends and his wife and 2 kids. The session went great after utilizing some of the tips you provided such as closing the aperture down some to 4-4.5. The 1st thing I've noticed as I am starting to edit the photos is I seemed to consistently cut off their legs/feet. Is this a big "no-no" or is it ok to basically have the standing shots from the waist up?
When it comes photographs with the sky, do you leave the sky blown out or replace with colorful sky in photoshop. I don't want mine to look fake but I don't want the blow out sky
Hey!! We actually have blown our skies every now and then and we don’t mind it. You could definitely take it into photoshop like you said and maybe tame it down in there.
Thank you for showing the behind the scenes footage. I would love to have seen what some of those photos looked like and what you were able to capture at the end. I loved that you used props!

Awesome. Following you guys on IG
Where can we see the edited images from this session? Would be interesting to see what the finished product looked like.
You two are great!! I am glad i stumbled across you. What lens di you use for this shoot? It looked like an85mm.
Thanks so much! 50 mm
Hiiiiiii Love your tutorials, if I m shooting around 3-4 pm on a sunny afternoon , how do I set my camera for some family portraits ?

I love your videos. Keep them coming! What lens are you using for this session? Looks like a 50mm. Did you only use one for the entire session?
Thank you so much Katie!! Yep the 50 mm the entire session. We love it!
Cute
Hey this is great! Question, where are you putting your focus when walking towards you?
Middle person usually
@@esquared.photography even if that person in the middle is the littlest boy?
@@soniaihuertas7119 yep
@@esquared.photography thank you so much for clarifying this for me. I really appreciate you guys!!🥰
I am wondering when taking these walking shots are you starting your SP at 1/250 or lower I know they are not moving that fast but where do you start ?
We base it all on our exposure meter being set to zero and then making sure our SS is at least 1/250 or so or higher for movement.

Great question! I’m sure it’s just fine. I usually will crop mid thigh up. Obviously variety is best but this should be totally fine!
@@esquared.photography Ok, thanks!
Hi have you ever made any videos about marketing for family portraits?
Great thought!! We have not.
I love the BTS of family session. Please do more! This was so cool!
Awesome!! So good to hear
Hello what is the name of the box you use to have the boys sit on and where was it purchased please?
It’s a crate we got at a garage sale
What lens did y’all use?
50 mm
Do you usually stay in one spot for families or go to different places
We typically stay in one spot!
When it comes photographs with the sky, do you leave the sky blown out or replace with colorful sky in photoshop. I don't want mine to look fake but I don't want the blow out sky
thank you in advance for your recommendation
Hey!! We actually have blown our skies every now and then and we don’t mind it. You could definitely take it into photoshop like you said and maybe tame it down in there.
Nice video can you tell me if you used spot metering shooting single subjects and matrix for family and picture style did you change to portrait
We always shoot on matrix and standard for our shoots (family, couples and seniors)
Thanks for replying, appreciate it, will continue to enjoy your vids.
Can't find the planning sheet
If you click the little down arrow by the video title you should be able to find it.
what if you dont have an assistant?
Is there only one shooter or do you take turns?
Typically only one. Sometimes if the families are easier we will both shoot.
what about a kid thats out of control or crying
I must be the only one who hates blanket shots. I just don’t like them, at all. So cheesy lol ! But I love the rest
And I too, sound crazy at my shoots ! Hahaha
