Family Photoshoot Behind The Scenes + Tips and Tricks

[@dragonfist25]

Hi Irene, are you using continuous focus since the child is moving like crazy?

[@janatalymbekkyzy9761]

Amazing photographs, Thank you Irene so much to making these precious memories so beautiful and professional!!! And thank you for you patience and time!!! I watched this video like 6 times already)))

Great tips for those just getting into family photography! I'm watching this as I edit a recent family session. LOL I use several of these ideas for family sessions myself. I've just started bringing small animal figures to sessions with young children and tell them I have a surprise at the beginning to get them interested, then give the toy mid-session for some excitement and then tell them they have to hide it behind them or in their hands or I'll steal it back. It seems to help in getting nice candid smiles a little faster. I usually do shots of the parents at the end when the kids have gotten tired of the process but I'm going to try the idea of starting with the parents to see how that helps get the kids interested. I love that you can always learn something new to try!

[@NikaRio]

I do the same, shoot the parents first because kids are so hard to photograph. Love your work as always Irene!!

[@elsaortiz7589]

Simply stunning!!! Beautiful girl you are so talented and a joy to watch. My favorite photographer.

[@alena.legkaya]

Очень нравится качество и цветопередача Ваших фоток!

[@philbertpembani-philgoodph6349]

on repeat every year, thanks Irene !!!!

[@Scirocco1982]

Awesome shots, beautiful colours and mood! Great tips! Thank You for sharing!

[@czarina0981]

The mom is so pretty! Beautiful pix of the family!! Also as a mom of a 3 and 1 year old family portraits are actually sooo stressful for me. The best session we had was on the beach bc the beach was like a big sand box for the kids and they enjoyed playing around & didnt mind the "photo session" part!

[@mariyamagdalena7763]

Irene, thanks for the video. Do you use continuous focus while child is moving?

[@ЮлияНиколаева-э5ы]

Thank you. I'm from Russia. I do not know English, but everything is clear. You write aperture, shutter speed, iso-it's convenient. To you of success and successes. Wrote through an interpreter)))

[@Kima5on]

Great Job! This video couldn't have come at a better time! Thank you for the tips

[@AugustRae85]

Great video.... Shooting family portraits can be more difficult than people know. I loved this.

[@MylezNevison]

can be exhausting

[@mollysheacreative]

Just did my first family shoot (parents with a 1 yr old) last week! I can honestly say your advice is the exact advice I'd give based on my experience :-) Thank you, Irene!!

[@phfacu]

2:31 how do you expose for that shot, do you give priority to the face or do you use an intermediate measure? Regards, nice video!

[@Photo-Videography19]

I really like your photo editing. How do you color your photo? Can you tell us about these ideas ?

[@madilee2806]

Would love more of these videos with family photography! Please please please 😊

[@LivingCaribbean]

I loved this video Irene and really liked your tips for directing family members. Thank you for posting!

[@1809pucca]

These are great photos! I’m so impressed. Great job!

[@alexandrakonyaneracz2618]

You give me a huge inspiration and motivation, these videos are really helpful to me! I love them all, I am watching them always when I have some free time. Thank you for sharing tricks and tips :))

[@RoxanaSnedeker]

Aww I love it! It gets crazy with little ones but you really did a great job!

[@zhiyaohan1614]

This video is very helpful. thank you!

[@mortenpedersen5625]

what kind og light metering are you using ? Really good learning og great shots

[@xokferg894]

Thanks for sharing! Beautiful photos!

[@thomaslopez2427]

Beautiful shoot, Irene! The location you were at looked incredible.

[@gilsportraitphotography8656]

Love your work. I've been following your work and you have always impress me with your creations and new projects. Keep it up.

[@KelseyKaplan75]

You should do a video on you edited these/more natural editing. I just did my first family shoot last weekend and wasn't totally happy with it.

[@michaelespeland]

I agree. No one is happy with their first shoot though..

[@danielle3063]

Would also love a follow up on how these were edited.

[@cc7518]

where did u get ur photo shoot from

[@edopellach1480]

Amazing photos. The light is perfect..looks like studio ❤️

[@62rowley]

Another nice video Irene :) People with kids know it's more fun to feed them before tossing and shaking them. Not !!!! My cousin did that with my son about 2 mins before his wedding photos were shot. The white tux was barely missed. :)

[@glamorre24]

great tips..very challenging if they kids... now I know how to take

[@jameswongkiong8637]

great BTS..inspirational!!!

[@Liazon098]

After watching this video, it is a HUGe curiosity of how many photographs you take in a session like this. Like this one, and what you do typically. I take about 190 photographs digitally, and try to go no more than 2 rolls of 24/36exp film. From that, I aim before I even shoot to get 4 shots that I deliver printed, but have them look though maybe 4-10 shots of each look, or of the shoot if there are extras. Film really gets me to (this is my talk to myself, not to you or anyone reading this

[@ilostmymind47]

I enjoyed watching it very much

[@RickBarberFinestFotos]

Great Shots, Irene!!

[@KarinaMartinez-uq7by]

YOU ARE THE BEST..!!!

[@arbereleziphotography]

Love how you use the Natural Light, well done!

[@kathyrobinson1975]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing!

[@sandraka8507]

Loved it thank you 😊

[@hannahb8964]

Loved this video. Your pictures are always amazing. I'm trying to start my own photography business so this helped a lot with how to take family pics as I never have before. Thank you.

[@mustypc]

Hey Irene, Do you use spot metering and meter from the faces?

[@adamaj74]

That guy was like, "Holy shit can we be done now?" lol

[@agnieszkabaraniak7845]

how do you get them in focus when theyre moving around like that? 2:15 is my goal but my images always turn out out of focus when i try that!

[@jessicacarmen4808]

Agnieszka Baraniak you should put a higher shutter speed

[@LtDeadeye]

Thank you Irene. May I ask, at f/2, where did you focus?

[@IreneRudnyk]

I always focus on the face, eyes

[@LtDeadeye]

I'm sorry, perhaps should have clarified my question. Of the three faces, which at times were on different focal planes, which did concentrate your focus. The closest face, the center face or a favorite face no matter the position? Thanks again for taking your time to share and educate us!

[@juxtaposedmultiplicity7372]

LtDeadeye good question! I need to know that too :P

[@IreneRudnyk]

As you can see in the picture I always position the subjects in one plane, so it doesn't really matter on whose face i focus ( most of the time on the middle face)

[@LtDeadeye]

Irene Rudnyk Thanks again!

[@creativeclaude5304]

Did you use lightroom to color correct these photos? And, I assume you went to any park that was near by? Awesome pics by the way!

[@IreneRudnyk]

yes, these are mostly edited in Lightroom, the family chose the location

[@creativeclaude5304]

Awesome thanks that helps! :)

[@nadiikoh]

Hey Irene! Is there a way you could share or guide us on how to charge services as a photographer? A general or an example way to do it with the services that you provide. Thanks

[@polinae11202010]

ciao, as always this will be my inspiration for my upcoming family portrait 2 weeks from now.. good work Irene!!! ciaoooo

Thank you for this ❤️

[@divineratio4581]

thank u so much for the video. really appreciated these tips

[@jadorozco]

I love your pics!!

[@shaz75750]

Great video ❤ I just wonder why such high shutter count?

[@kateclement7199]

Do you use light room and Photoshop? I would love if you did a video on how you edited these

[@AndrewLitton]

she probably just did lightroom and edited the basics. exposure, color and curves

[@Imagerybyoscar]

Beautiful work

[@jdl8422]

at 1.8 did you have alot of pictures where not all the subjects were in focus?

[@sarahwaters4448]

how did you come about getting your exposure?? . . light meter? . . starting out at 2.O and experimenting??

[@lilblingking1491]

I find an external light meter is usually unnecessary unless your camera doesn't have a light meter or you're using an external/multiple external flashes. Set your aperture, take a few test shots, and adjust your other settings accordingly

[@RickBarberFinestFotos]

So you were shooting in Motion Feature?

[@nelmicagonzalez9420]

great shots.

[@Divineshot]

Beautiful images 😍 and awesome BTS and tips! 😊

[@Holyfamily71]

[@christophersayre2356]

Thumbs up just for the spray and pray quote 😂

[@souljah9e]

[@handygosun2628]

Good image, may i ask how you engage with your client ? haha thanks

[@Noe-ev8ng]

The toddler is so cute... but yeah they have short span attention and easily gets bored... they are like pet photography... catching their attention and making them stay still is so hard 😝 thanks for the tip

[@canadianactionkid]

I usually pray first then spray. LOL!

[@SophieSeno]

reupload? i wanted to ask how long did the photoshoot take ?

[@IreneRudnyk]

yes, i needed to fix few problems :) It was about 2.5 hours

[@michelle.doesthings]

"Spray and pray" lmaoooo I love that

[@slawomirmichalski7439]

Dobre - wykorzystam. Dzieki.

[@lior2538]

👏👏👏❣️

[@ftcrooss01]

There is something about the 85mm glass, found it more pleasing than the 35mm.great pictures nonetheless.

[@streetstylefinds]

[@sunnyluto3560]

thank you...

[@blankdemise3314]

[@Liazon098]

[@MR-kt1vx]

Salmanul Faris literally in the video

[@marcelovista9928]

Muy bueno

[@rachpreach]

how were you able to get everyone in focus with such a low aperture?

[@IreneRudnyk]

They are all in the same line of depth of field

[@kauchasphotography767]

I love your Photography irene.

[@gofotolux]

You don't even use a lens hood but you seem to have no problem shooting into the sun?

[@mroblige1018]

He hit his father in the face?.? I wouldn't be alive right now if that was me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@xjustgita9846]

How pose graduation with toga, miss, please ? Alone and family ?

[@KANSTV]

You so beautiful 😍

[@FahryAdam]

pls show before after edit

[@David.J.Delahoussaye]

cute shoot. why don't you do families as much?

[@IreneRudnyk]

Because its not my passion in photography:)

[@David.J.Delahoussaye]

i know what you mean. i shoot families to make a little more extra cash when I don't have boudoir sessions. it's funny when people see what I shoot but ask for completely differs genres.

[@zvett79]

For the composition I usually prefer to not have peoples faces in the middle of the frame with a lot of space above.

[@juanquispe3494]

Just saw the video with Jason Lanier. Pls don't switch to Sony lol.

[@juxtaposedmultiplicity7372]

amazing video as ever! P.S. please don't let parents pick their kids like that(one arm each) it go very very bad, very very fast.
