This is where you go out and not only think about taking great photographs, but also pour all your energy into finding innovative, fresh poses that don’t looked posed while constantly keeping your eyes open for fantastic candid moments while brushing back hair and wiping away snot and staying ever-cognizant of using great lighting, even as it shifts and changes, bringing in fill lighting and rim lighting as needed, while you are scanning for the most interesting backgrounds and foregrounds, shooting flattering angles but also mixing it up and composing and framing as impactfully as possible with as much variety as possible while engaging your subjects individually, based on their specific personality types that you have been told about, as well as that you’ve surmised, taking care to represent families as a one, as a collective grouping of individuals who belong together, being sure to adjust your settings to keep any collection of multiple individuals in the same plane of focus, avoiding glass glare and errant color casting, or any sort of under or over exposure, adjusting your ISO, shutter speed, aperture, exposure metering and white balance as you go, while of course keeping in mind everything they wanted from the shoot, the things they told you and the things they didn’t, while referencing a list, either in your head or on a piece of paper or on your phone, of everything you wanted to get so you don’t miss out on any configurations that they might want when it comes down to showing them all the options for what you’ve captured while you are consistently responding to the energy of the unique dynamic that is each shoot as you create an experience that is exciting, relaxed, fun, upbeat, interesting and, of course - lest we not forget - comfortable for all.
