4 Approaches to Family Photography | Bella Baby Photography

If you’re like most parents, you fall into one of two camps. You either take way too many photos and then don’t know what to do with them, or you’re constantly kicking yourself for not taking enough. At Bella Baby Photography, we get it. You’re so preoccupied with keeping your little ones happy, healthy and living that it can be hard to stay organized and on track with things like photo goals.

We all want to end up with a good collection of photos of our kids as they grow. But for the best results, some balanced planning is key. Remember, this is a lifelong project. So let’s look at some ways we can have those great photos without getting overwhelmed in the process.

A Day In the Life
While it can be a lot of fun to take photos of your kids every single day, it can also lead to burnout. Once your child hits their first birthday, consider taking “day in the life photos”. Pick out one or two days to chronicle each year and you’ll develop a great collection to look back upon.

Think Seasonally
For those a little less structured, you might split up your photo project into the four seasons. Focus on getting a variety of photos each spring, summer, fall and winter. Try to select the special days like fall on the farm, spring gardening, summer vacation and the winter holidays.

Holiday Hustle
There’s nothing wrong with being a family that mostly breaks out the camera on the holidays–we promise. While many parents want a variety of shots that cover ordinary days as well as special occasions, a lot of people still find it more than good enough if their photo collection spans the holidays through the years.

Get Some Help
So you’re not exactly photographer of the year? Don’t sweat it. When you hire a professional, like a Bella Life photographer, you help fill in the gaps of your photo collection while their expertise helps you and your loved ones shine.
