How to choose the right photographer?
One of the most important things you can do when booking outdoor family photos is to choose the right photographer for your family. Finding a photographer who specializes in family photos is key. You want your photographer to understand the family dynamic. As well as which poses to prioritize, and how to pull out genuine emotion during your session. As you are searching for your perfect photographer check to make sure their editing is consistent. Therefore you know exactly what you will be receiving for your session.
Lastly one aspect of choosing a photographer for you outdoor family photos that is often overlooked, is personality. I highly recommend choosing a photographer whose personality you connect with and enjoy. Not sure how to see if their personality is a fit? Ask to chat on the phone before reserving your session!

What to wear for your outdoor family photos?
Choosing what to wear for your family photos can be overwhelming. Therefore I recommend dressing for the season. There is nothing worse than an uncomfortable kiddo during family photos. When dressing for outdoor family photos in Florida, I recommend light weight clothing! My families receive a complimentary styling appointment. This is where you may come into the studio and choose your family’s outfit from my curated client closet. But you can also check out “What to wear to your beach family photos“
Choosing a location for your family photos.
For outdoor family photos I recommend choosing a location that feels comfortable for your family. While also showcasing the natural beauty of the outdoors. Being so close to the beach in Tampa, Florida you can’t go wrong with beach photos for your outdoor family photos! If you are a family who enjoys nature and hiking a park may be a perfect spot for you. Filled with greenery and natural light peaking through the trees. It makes a perfect backdrop! When reserving your session with Julianna Claire Photography you get access to my locations gallery filled with all the locations I frequently photograph at.
When to reserve my session?
Many photographers book out months in advance. Once you find your perfect photographer i recommend reaching out to find out what their schedule looks like. When you reach out in advance you will have a better opportunity of reserving the date you would like. I am currently booking fall outdoor family photos with limited availability.
