Thanks for tuning in! Let us know if you have any questions about posing families!
I have my 1st paid shoot coming up but it's with an extended family (Mom,Dad, son, daughter, daughter's hubby, daughter's kid). How would you pose all of them together?
Hello! Watched your video and appreciate all the tips! I am not able to find the posing guide in the comments! Can you help!? Thank you!
@@rachelparker4702 if you press the little arrow by the video title you should be able to see it. If not, please send us an email at info@esquaredphotography.com
Thank you for this. There are 20 million videos for little kids and to me they are easier. They connect easy. Teens can be awkward and harder to get a connection in the photos. Only been doing photography for 9 months.
Love that this is geared towards older kids. I struggle with older kids during sessions. They are so much cooler than I am.
Thanks for yet again answering all my questions and making me feel better about my upcoming session. I watch one or more of your videos before each session I have to help ease my nerves and up my confidence. Thank you! ❤️
Thanks for sharing this, it's very helpful. I started doing portraits for people 6 years ago, and last year began to get more serious about things. Posing is what I'm the worst at, even though I have great instincts and am good at working with whatever or whomever is there. I appreciate what you are showing us.
I've been photographing for about 10 years! Started with my kids and then went into family photography photographing families, weddings, and animals! Love your videos I have learned a lot from you guys!
I’ve been doing photography on the side for about 4 years already 😮 some years have been busier than others, but I enjoy it as a hobby on the side!
I been doing it for 5 years. I love it.
Thank you for the tips I’m just starting photography but been taking photos of my kids and grandkids for years but I love taking photos it is memories
Thank you for the insights! I received my first 35mm camera 39 years ago and shot mostly scenic photos until my kids came along.
Thanks! I just used these tips on a photoshoot and it worked wonderfully!
Straight to the point. You've simplified. Thank you!
One of my favorites videos, ty.
Loved this! Thank you for sharing!
Hi! Just wanted to say thanks for this video! I've been a photographer for about 15 years but I don't do many family shoots. It was a bit hard to find videos involving older kids - and I appreciate your ideas and examples. Happy to have discoved your channel, keep up the great work!
Love all of your videos but this one is my favorite so far ❤
This was so incredibly helpful. Thank you
Thank you for doing a video of Families with older kids! These are always a struggle and not a lot of education about them out there!
Absolutely!
I love these tips! Thanks so much. I look forward to more videos
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Thank you for the tips.❤
Photographing a mother and her 9-year old daughter tomorrow. This has been the most helpful video so far! Thank you!
You ladies do some awesome posing. Thank you.
Omg you posted this at the perfect time! I’m doing this for a family friend soon but all the kiddos are in their 20’s. Thank you!
Yay!!!!
super helpful thank you!
perfect
timing
I love this, thank you for posting! I wish I had your tutorials 15 years ago when I started and friends asked me to do portraits. I do more landscape photography now,but occasionally do portraits and your videos have helped so much!!
Yay!! So good to hear
So helpful!!! Thank you!!
I’m using all the tips tomorrow for our family photos.
very helpful! thank you!
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
You gave me the great ideas. Good job. Thank you very much. 👍
Fantastic information! Such good help, thank you!!!
You’re so welcome
Very helpful!
I've been in business since August of this year !! I am just starting out and your tips have helped so much !! Thank you ❣
❤️
two years I took up the camera and this year started photographing humans, did a wedding, senior photos, couples, now families. I am a hobby photographer Nikon D800 and D600
Thank you sooo much for all your posts 🤩🤩 they are so helpfull!!!! Thank you very much from Austria 😀
You are so welcome
Very helpful!!! The kiddos tend to be younger at this current moment, but this was still extremely helpful!
This was so helpful!!! I got a family session tonight with 2 older boys!
Such a good video! A little tip maybe you can add your settings in the future when you show photos! For me that's always interesting
Love these tips!! Super helpful. I have my first family shoot coming up in a few weeks. ❤️❤️
Good luck!
Very nice. Thank you.
Shot models professionally about 16 years ago. Stopped shooting for a good span of years. Current time, friends are asking for family shoots which I rarely ever did to begin with. Now! After watching your vids I fell confident to get back in the saddle:)
Wahoo!!!
Same here! It’s been a few years since I’ve done a family shoot and I have 2 coming up
One video I'd love to see you make, because I love your style of photography and how you present your content on here, is the older generation and posing them. Grandparents often have limited mobility so posing is difficult. There are very few videos of this and the tips that help.
Thanks so much for the tips! Can use them this weekend🥰
Great!!
THANK YOU THIS SAVED ME
🙌🙌🙌🙌
I’ve been doing it 7 years or so. Started with landscape. Love your videos
Thank you!!
I needed this two days ago lol. Thank you for making this! All the tutorials out there have little kids not older kids.
Going out on my first family shoot tonight. This was so helpful 🙏
Good luck!!
I think I will use the sitting on the ground poses next time. Turned out really cute
Excellent video. I had lots of poses for little kids, but not much in the way of older ones. Thanks!
You bet
This is great. I haven't really thought about shooting the walking poses from a different angle. In general, I shoot seniors and sports. I only do families when one of my senior families request it. My main reason for not doing families is posing. It's much easier to focus on one person!
Senior portraits are easier and why not just do those, I agree. I have a headshot client who has requested me for family portraits, it's going to be hot humid and wet on the ground the day of our shoot in a couple of days, I'm dreading it. I love doing commercial work in the studio and seniors, thinking about referring her to someone else.
Liked moving to a different location and doing the same poses. They might be more relaxed or just better at it the 2nd time around.
Great information. Thank you
How do I get your download? I have a family shoot next weekend. TIA
@@framagscoeri in the description! Shoot us an email if you don’t see it.
Thank you so much for talking about a time limit. I can't tell you how much anxiety it causes me thinking that a shoot needs to be an hour at the minimum and with older kids it is much quicker and so I felt I wasn't doing enough.
🙌🙌
I remember experiencing E- Squared methods on how photgraphers help family members on the fly all feel more comfortable when getting their picture taken regardless of how camera shy some of those family members are. My advice to anyone who buys this service is to include the photographer during the wedding dress rehersal too if at all possible.
I have my first family session this evening
Good luck!!!
Thanks for the tips! They are very helpful!
Hi! Love your youtube videos. Especially posing senior girls. I just got bak from Showit United and wondered do you ever go to/speak at photography conferences?
Hey thanks!!! It is something we have always wanted to do!!! How was Showit?!
@@esquared.photography Showit United was so much fun. Everyone so nice. Wonderful keynote speakers: Amy and Jordan Demos and Katelyn James among many other very talented and sweet educators. Any terrific breakout speakers…Hope Taylor and Cassie Claire among many others. This was the last year for United. So glad I was able to attend my first and only Showit United.
I really wish I could just come and job shadow with you all. But I'm in Germany. 😂 Everytime I have a photography scenario, here I come running back to your page for guidance. I am not a business, by I do photography as a pro hobbyist for the last 2.5 years.
That means so much to us
I love the cheek to cheeks pose. So many ways this will look great! I have a family of 11 kids plus parents plus spouses and babies. How could I do some great cheeks? Thanks Emily, I've been shooting for 34 years, but business only 1 year. I love the artistic outlet! Sunflowers & Smiles Photography
So awesome! I would say have two rows and get them as close together as you can. Call it a big group hug. :)
I love this...new question though for a possible video....what do you do about "larger" people? I had a recent session and the "larger" sized family members couldn't get their heads together to look close and even sitting and getting close was a challenge, etc. How do you handle this and diversify the poses?
We would do less of that. More walking. Good idea for a video!!
This is great. Any tips for adapting this for if there’s only one adult child?
We would do the same things most likely. It’s hard though with that because the session will go so quick.
Your walking pose #3 where the family is backlit with sun flare...this is where I have trouble with settings! The pictures seem to be much grainier and out of focus. What were your settings for this particular picture? If I could tackle sun flare, I would solve a lot of my problems -LOL!!
Really? I had my first Family Shoot with older kids yesterday! Where were you Saturday with this information? lol Kidding of course. So much enjoy your training!

Do you have to do a lot of head swaps on post? Must be so hard getting everyone to look good in a single photo if they are walking, chatting etc
Thanks for the video. I have large family shoot (10 pulse 3 grandchildren). My question is do you shoot for 8x10 or 8x12? Or do you shoot and frame your shots so they would work in both?
So they work in both! Great question. We just make sure there is always plenty of room for cropping. Especially in case the order a canvas.
3 1/2 years since I got my first camera. Few years before just with phone of wherever. Lol
I have a family with plus size parents..any tips for posing? Mom has already mentioned not being comfortable in her body.
I take a family of 4 kids: 3 teens boys and a teen girl. I always wonder how to not make the boys hold hands or link arms to convey togetherness lol in different poses.
I'm not a photographer yet. We just want to make a portrait of our family, my husband + me + 9 children. And I am looking for an interesting poses for all of us. Our friend is going to take a pictures of us because it's expensive to have a professional photographer.
I used to photograph babies and maternity. Still have my camera, all my stuff & I thought, my kids will be at the beach let's do a family photo! My son & daughter are both over 6 foot, my husband and I look like toddlers next to them! 😁 So I came here looking for ideas....
One, I'd love for their height to be seen but two, it will look awkward in the photo.
I'm just starting out. How do you navigate getting people to let you practice on them? For free, of course, but I feel like I'm being a pest.
Part time for about 2 years had two paid gigs in December.. But looking to do a few free to create a bit of extra work?
How are you able to shoot natural light with the subject lighted perfectly with the sun to their back and the background not being blown out. When get the background where I want it, the subject is dark.
We blow out the background often!
How did you know I have a session with adult children 🙏☺️ thank you
You bet!!
What if it’s a grandmother with her grown kids?
Hi!
Um, I have a question.
I know y'all have made videos on getting sharp images for group photos, but what about what focus point to use and who to put it on depending on how everyone is positioned?
We always use center point focus and we focus on the middle person or if there are two rows…middle front row :)
@@esquared.photography Thank you, I have been wondering this for awhile now!
I have my first family photo shoot I'm doing for my sister next weekend, so I've been watching all I can on family photo shoot stuff.
@@alexheartkill awesome! Best of luck
@@esquared.photography Thanks!
Do you have any advice on the best route to become legal in Wisconsin? Is it simple/straight forward? I'm nervous to officially go legal.
