Hello there! I'm Michael, your friendly Southern California photographer, and today I want to share with you some of my tried-and-true tips on preparing for a family portrait session. With 39 years of experience capturing people and their moments, I've learned a thing or two about what it takes to create a successful and enjoyable family photo shoot. The first thing we'll talk about is outfit choices. Now, I know this can seem daunting, but remember, the aim is to showcase your family's authentic vibe. Coordinate, don't match. Choose a color palette that complements your family's skin tones and stick with it across different styles and textures. This will bring an element of harmony without your family looking like a uniformed team. Location, location, location. It's not just for real estate, it's pivotal for photography too! Consider what kind of backdrop will best reflect your family's character. Do you love the beach, or are you more at home in a lush, green park? Perhaps the comfort of your own home is where you feel most yourselves. The location should be a place where you can relax and be yourselves.Now, let's talk about posing. I'm a big believer in letting moments unfold naturally. That said, a little guidance never hurts. Think about your family's dynamics and interactions, and try to bring those into the shoot. Are you playful, serious, or a mix of both? Keep in mind, the best photos often come from genuine moments, so don’t be afraid to let loose and have fun!As for engaging children, remember that to them, this is not a chore, but a fun day out. Bring their favorite toys or books. Allow them to take breaks, play, and be themselves. This not only keeps them engaged but also brings out their true personalities in the photos.At the end of the day, my goal is not just to create beautiful images, but also to provide an enjoyable experience for you and your family. I want your photo session to be a story in itself, one where your family's unique dynamics and emotions shine through. So, let's create some beautiful, lasting memories together!

Creating Unforgettable Family Portraits: A Comprehensive Guide

When it comes to planning your wedding, there are many elements that you have to consider. From the venue to the food, the decor to the music, each detail is crucial. However, there is one aspect that often gets overlooked, and that is the importance of hiring a professional photographer. Professional photographers bring much more to the table than just clicking pictures. They are visual storytellers, capturing not just images, but emotions, moments and the entire story of your special day. The photos they deliver are not just pretty pictures; they are memories that will last a lifetime. A professional photographer knows how to capture the laughter, the tears, the nervousness, the joy, and the love that is a part of every wedding. They know how to work with different lighting, different settings and different moods to create images that are not just beautiful, but also true to the moment.Moreover, a professional photographer knows how to put people at ease during the shoot. They know how to make the bride and groom feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which results in pictures that are genuine and authentic. They know how to direct people in a way that feels organic, not forced. They can handle the stress and the chaos that is often a part of weddings, and they can do it in a way that doesn't add to the stress, but rather, helps to alleviate it.In conclusion, hiring a professional photographer for your wedding is not just a good idea; it's a necessity. It's an investment in memories, in moments, and in the story of your special day. So, when you are planning your wedding, don't skimp on the photographer. Hire a professional, and you will be thankful for years to come.

How do we even begin to express how thankful we are for Michael..

First off, Michael is such a nice person. He genuinely cares for his clients. We had nothing but an amazing experience with him as our photographer. From the moment we booked him to even now, he has been outstanding. He is very communicative and even sends teasers along the way. We had Michael do our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures! We are so pleased with both of them and we will cherish them forever. 

I would recommend Michael to any future bride. He was on top of it and did everything I asked and more. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him. All of my guests have VERY happy with their pictures and we are absolutely obsessed with all of them!

John & Danielle's Los Willows Wedding

Michael did a senior photo shoot for my daughter and her best friend at the beach. He also included both of us mothers into the session for no extra fee. It was so much fun! He is easy to work with and had great ideas for the session. The pictures turned out beautiful. Thank you Michael Thomas Photography!
