Family and Life Events

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS FOR FAMILY AND LIFE EVENTS?

Capturing family and life events through professional photography is invaluable. These moments are fleeting and having high-quality images allows you to preserve memories for generations. Whether it's a family reunion, a milestone birthday, a baby's first steps, or a graduation, professional photographs capture the essence, emotions, and unique dynamics of your family. Unlike casual snapshots, a professional photographer brings expertise in lighting, composition, and editing to ensure your photos are not just pictures, but treasures that tell the story of your family's most cherished moments.

HOW DOES YOUR APPROACH TO FAMILY AND LIFE EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY DIFFER FROM OTHER TYPES OF SHOOTS?

My approach to family and life event photography is deeply personal and tailored to capture the unique essence of each family and event. I focus on creating a relaxed and comfortable environment, allowing your family's genuine connections and individual personalities to shine through. Before the shoot, I prefer to discuss your vision, any specific moments you want captured, and any themes or sentiments you wish to reflect in your photos. My goal is to create images that not only document the event but also evoke the emotions and atmosphere of the day, leaving you with memories that feel true to your experience.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR FOR OUR FAMILY OR LIFE EVENT PHOTO SHOOT?

Choosing outfits for your family or life event photo shoot can significantly impact the look and feel of your photos. I recommend coordinating outfits in complementary colors or choosing a cohesive color palette that reflects the mood you want to capture. Solid colors or subtle patterns work best, as they help keep the focus on your family's expressions and interactions. Avoid wearing matching outfits, as diversity in clothing adds depth and interest to your photos. Comfort is key, so opt for clothing that feels good and allows you to move freely, ensuring your photos look natural and relaxed. If you're unsure, feel free to bring a few options to the shoot, and I can help you select the best choices.

HOW SHOULD WE PREPARE FOR OUR PHOTO SHOOT?

Preparing for your photo shoot involves a few simple steps to ensure everything goes smoothly. Hydrate and rest well the days leading up to the shoot for a fresh appearance. Consider professional styling for hair and makeup if desired, as it can add a polished look to your photos. Make sure all outfits are clean, wrinkle-free, and ready the day before. Most importantly, come with an open heart and a willingness to have fun. My aim is to capture your family's genuine interactions, so your preparation combined with a relaxed attitude will result in beautiful, authentic images.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE HAVE PROFESSIONAL FAMILY PHOTOS TAKEN?

The frequency of professional family photos depends on your personal preference and how you wish to document your family's growth and milestones. Many families opt for annual photo sessions to capture changes over the years, celebrate new additions to the family, or commemorate special occasions. However, there's no set rule, and some families choose sessions at key milestones or whenever they feel the time is right. The important thing is to not let too much time pass without capturing these precious moments.

Choosing the right photography package can be daunting, but I'm here to help. Discuss your event, expectations, and any specific needs with me, and together we'll find the perfect package to capture your family's story beautifully. Whether you're looking for a simple session to mark a single moment or a comprehensive package for a full-day event, I offer flexible options to suit every family and occasion.

In the realm of arts Kevin is a wizard with his camera. I was extremely nervous, but as soon as I arrived at the studio, He and His crew put at easy. His studio has a peaceful, pleasant and family atmosphere. I can guaranty a 1000% that you will never find someone like Him, competent, friendly , super professional and willing to help every step of the way. It was one of the best experience that I had in my life.

I have know Kevin for 13 years now . I visit Kevin once a month. As a model, and an influencer , Kevin is creative and flexible and does the best job with lighting . As a model you can understand I have shot with so many photographers and I always go back to him because honestly he’s the best. My kids are also actors and models and we go several times a year for updates and his work has helped them get work . We also do our annual family holiday cards and it’s always so much fun.

My daughter Payton and I are small town Vermont girls. I don't venture out often. I have no idea about anything fashion, but my daughter LOVES it. So for Chriatmas I booked a photoshoot with Kevin to work on her modeling portfolio. Super out of both our comfort zones. However, Kevin was super responsive right from the start, made my daughter feel so comfortable, he was personable and easy to talk with. We had a great experiance from start to finish! Thanks Kevin!

Highly recommend!! He took so much time selecting the right outfits and consulting with his hair and make up person to select the right color scheme for headshots. He also took so much care and effort in selecting the right background for the indoor part of the session. The environment was so relaxed and friendly as well. I would definitely, without question, recommend Kevin Day to anyone looking for a photoshoot.
