How To Pose Families During a Photoshoot + Favorite Posing Prompts

[@geniademarais9248]

Hi Rebecca. Thank you so much for this video. It has been so helpful. I was looking to purchase some templates in your shop which is shown as discounted for those who watch your videos but when added to the cart, it’s not discounted accordingly. Is there a code for the 50% off?

[@RebeccaRiceEducation]

Hey there! At the time this was filmed, we had a sale. But it’s your lucky day, because the whole shop is actually 50% off right now for Valentine’s Day! No code needed!

[@jacob.b.barnes]

Thank you for posting this! Have my first family photoshoot this weekend and was really worried about how to pose them. Definitely have some great ideas now!

[@devinp668]

I've done the "look at each other," but telling them to switch it up so they get that moment of laughter is a great tip

[@finallyrecognizedsf]

This has been one of the most detailed / structured posing guide for family photoshoots that is truly enjoyable to digest and super exciting to put into practice! Thank you so much for making this video as I’m forever grateful.

[@jennywellsphotography]

This is literally my rule. Everyone has to be touching and be close. ❤

[@IsabellaSummers-p4y]

Yep, I agree the connection makes a world of a difference!

[@alieaton4254]

I love this! You talk to the camera so well, like you were talking straight to me! 💛

[@RebeccaRiceEducation]

Aw thank you! I’m glad you liked it!

[@thatrandomponyperson4945]

Great Video Rebecca. I’m new to family photography (literally…just getting started with family and a few friends) and your blog has been so helpful. I love your photos and am looking forward to more videos like this one. 😊

[@RebeccaRiceEducation]

So fun! I’m honored to be part of your journey!

[@jddorland]

Great video. Very helpful!

[@Sindhu8826]

Exactly what I was looking for!

[@IsabellaSummers-p4y]

Great video! The "Ew" pose is definitely one I agree is so fun for kids! What kind of posing would you do for a family of 5 with the youngest being a newborn or a sitter? Curious to hear your thoughts. Keep up the great work!

[@chrisdickersonphotofilmss]

Great video thank you so much

[@AlexandriaPerel]

Is there time for all of these in the mini sessions?

[@lillyvillanueva9607]

Thank you for all yoyr knowledge this information will help me so much. What settings di you use for walking shots?

[@shannondavis8709]

This was such a helpful video! Thank you!

[@rayinyvr5267]

Thank you the great video! Where I can get the free session ideas?

[@daveetrice]

Great stuff and awesome presentation! First time finding you on YT, just subscribed and picked up both your ‘Complete Family Posing System’ and 'Ultimate Client Experience Bundle' from your website. Thank you very much!

[@sadiesofia7605]

I love doing the "swing" pose where mom and dad swing the little kid between them. It only works for kids up to maybe five or six, depending on how big they are.

[@RebeccaRiceEducation]

YES! That’s such a cute one!

[@turo9992000]

I'm going to try it with my teenager.

[@KristenVogel]

Hello :) Do you have some pose prompt ideas for families with young adults in their twenties? Thank you.

[@HM-ju9tv]

This was SOO helpful!!

[@RebeccaRiceEducation]

Very useful tips , thank you 🙏

[@storyfilmproductions]

This was actually super helpful. I'm a cinematographer mostly, but I'm getting more portrait requests lately. Thanks for the helpful ideas!

[@emiliaa8692]

This is amazing! Thank you!

[@RebeccaRiceEducation]

Yay! Glad to help!

[@jacobdennis1246]

this was so helpful! i have my first family photoshoot of six and the kids are all older, any posing prompts for them

[@bellabug2000]

Thank you for this video. When you shoot a family session and take images of the children running around the parents, how do you get them all in focus, and what aperture? I usually focus on the person in the middle, but I'm not sure about this situation.

[@stevendolinsky]

Great ideas...very helpful. Thank you.

[@RebeccaRiceEducation]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rachaeljackson3759]

Great video! Only thing I’d say is maybe more ideas and tips for single parent families as well!

[@kevcdallas]

This was awesome! I’m gonna use these today. I’ll let you know how it went!

[@RebeccaRiceEducation]

Yes!! Please do!

[@kevcdallas]

@@RebeccaRiceEducation turned out great! The run and hug prompt got the 3 year olds out of a funk and they were spirited afterwards Fired the entire shoot. Great tips!!!

[@Christy7arbi]

Thank you so much! This is so helpful 🥰

[@RebeccaRiceEducation]

Yay!! I’m so glad!

[@katewoollams3430]

I'm a beginner Photographer about to do my first ever family photoshoot. Not too sure what they are looking for 🤷‍♀️. But do you have any advice for being a super beginner, although your video was super duper helpful!! Thanks

[@kathybeya2930]

Hello! I saw your video for the first time it was really good to learn thank you so much!! Also I love your pictures . How come your pictures are very light color soft color in the picture ? I’d like to take a photo like you💟

[@RebeccaRiceEducation]

Hey there! I’ve got a video explaining how I get that light and airy style! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3bHfI1ofb6fe80

[@kathybeya2930]

Thank you💟

[@guate6]

I like your poses, so thank you for sharing that. I don't much care for the overexposed photo look.

[@Princeton_James]

What f stop do you use when the family is walking towards you? Curious because I'd want everyone in focus as much as possible. Thanks.

[@RebeccaRiceEducation]

I typically have my f stop at 2.8!

[@paisleyholaway]

how do you shoot single-parent families? my first family session is with a single mom and her two older sons. any ideas on how to pose them?

[@Robynndee503]

Do you offer your clients a price sheet? If so do you have a template? I'm struggling with trying to create one.

[@RebeccaRiceEducation]

No, I don’t have a pricing sheet. I only have one package, so it’s super easy to communicate to them without needing a pricing sheet.

[@bethgibson8190]

Hi Rebecca! This video was so helpful. I have my first family shoot and it's a young family of six. I'm super excited but not sure of how to keep the family engaged with all those Littles. I want to get some of them cuddled together on a blanket laying down what prompts would you recommend? Thank you for this video it was so helpful 🤗❤️

[@RebeccaRiceEducation]

How fun! You could get them all to whisper secrets to each other! Or close their eyes and then count to 3 and all open at the same time. Tickle fight would be cute too!

[@bethgibson8190]

@@RebeccaRiceEducation Those are great ideas!!! Oh thank you so much 🥰🤗❤️

[@tristybrooke33]

I would have really enjoyed this video more if you showed photo examples after each tip , I couldn’t visualize what you were talking about

[@iKeto_gal]

Got any tips for family…older kids, all boys… cuz the holding hands example you have of the two teen girls holding hands with parents are nice but I can’t see the teen older boys holding hands lol . Any tips for this family dynamic ?

[@RebeccaRiceEducation]

You could have them put their arms around each other’s shoulders! Or mom and dad in the middle, boys all around with hands in pockets.

[@linahuang94]

On your website it says you can buy the presets individually for $20 each, but I only see the 4-pack option for $197. Am I missing something?

[@RebeccaRiceEducation]

Hey there! The $20 presets you mentioned have been retired. The only presets we’ve got available are the Light & Airy Seasonal Presets (pack of 4).

[@abstractduniya4608]

💫💥🙌🙌

[@itsjessystyle]

Love all these ideas.. except the hand in the pocket; for some reason that doesn’t work for me.. takes away the natural aspect in my opinion 🙂

[@БогданДмитриев-й1ч]

Yes, everything is very good. But you are breaking the basic rules of composition

[@margarethope4541]

This is so helpful, thank you!!
