Has anyone done it?
I will be shooting My 4 kids plus all my nieces and nephews in a studio session this weekend with my Mom and Stepdad and keep going over it in my head how to pose everyone. Can't seem to find enough examples online in my google searches.
would you group by family
My 4 range from 2 to 11 years old
My brother has 3 from 1 to 7 years
My other brother has 1 at 5 months
My step sister has 3 from 8 months to 13 years
My step brother has 3 from 1 year to 7 years
One more step brother has 2 that are 7 and 5 I believe.
I have an idea of how to make use of a 3 step posing platform I have, but just wanted to see if anyone shot this many kids in studio before. |

In case anyone was interested in seeing how this turned out...and yes, I can think of a 101 things I would have done differently (especially NOT forgetting my behind the camera props at home!!) It was fun and everyone said they HAD so much fun...so I am glad they will remember that if nothing else from the shoot!

Or the "no mohawks" memo, either :-))

ooooh...they all got the memo on white shirts, just met with someone who HAD to be different. They travelled the farthest, so I wasn't going to fight them too much.
It was fun but completely EXHAUSTING for me since I shot a total of 32 people over 3 hours!
And that kid...just doesn't look the same without that mohawk! I saw his school picture today...nope, not the same kid!! The mohawk isn't allowed for school |

| Quite an admirable job. Pop looks slightly harrowed. Certainly a bunch of characters among those children ;-Þ |

Nice work, Julie. The only thing I don't like is the wrinkled background seems too obtrusive in a couple of shots, especially where you can see the edges. I'm not sure what the solution would be as I assume it would be hard to get a narrow depth of field when shooting a group.
Edit to show I really do know the difference between "to" and "too."

Thanks for pointing that out...I was soooo disappointed that I didn't get them all looking in my direction at once, but yes, looking at this picture, I see their personalities for sure!!
I was belting out a very off key 'Sponge Bob Square Pants' theme song to try to keep their attention! It worked for the most difficult little one on the right, but once we had her cooperation, my own little one on the left picked up where she left off!! |

Yes....I debated about stretching out the backdrop all the way across the room, but elected not to do it. Wished I had...one of those 101 things I wished I had done differently. Not going to beat myself up about it though, can't change the past and will do some tidying up in photoshop when I get back to the studio next week. It was a rare event and that has to continue to be my focus of the session!
:-)
Thanks for the insight! |
