Great tips… but i what really want to know is how much did you charge for this session. How many photos did you give them? PM me your answer! Please
Ya know, I never would’ve thought to hit up Pinterest for ideas …awesome tip! (I also don’t really like posed stuff but whatever the client wants)
This is exactly what I needed I'm doing my first family shoot soon
Nothing but gems!!! I really appreciate this video
Got two questions, 1- what fstop were you shooting at? and 2- when on the swings what was your shutter speed, just curious.
Love these tips Omar – and they're totally useful no matter what kind of shoot you're doing. Super versatile and love your style on camera!
u talk too much
Great video! For these sorts of shoots, how high are you willing to go for ISO?
This was super helpful! Doing my first family photo shoot as a hobby photographer and this helped me feel less nervous!
Came across your video today and I'm glad I did! I'm doing my first family Photoshoot in a couple of weeks and this video is extremely helpful. I have the exact same set up, Sony A7rii with 55mm Zeiss f1.8 I'm thinking of using my Sony 24-70mm Zeiss as well. Thanks
Wow. Thank you so much!! New sub

Awesome video! Thank you!
First time watching your videos – definitely helpful video & good tips 🙌🏼
Loved this video Very helpful!
What settings do you usually go for when shooting families?
Love this video and helpful hints!
Great job! just a quick question what aperture do you use for families to make sure they are all in focus?
Great tips! Thanks.
I’m doing my first family shoot today, this was so helpful thank you!
I check Pinterest too ❤️
Thanks now I know how to shoot a family
Shoot a family….so many meanings.
Thanks and what was your aperture setting
You just go on forever man. Please just get to the point. You can cut out so much of the fat from this video to make it just as informative and half the length.
Love this video and the pictures I wish I was that good
I am new to photography. What general settings were you using? Great videos!
Omar, I was hoping you could help me.
Is there any one you could recommend that edits family photos?
I see that the sun was behind them. did you use any reflector or fill light to brighten their faces? or just edit it on Photoshop/lightroom?
I thought there was gonna be comments saying "im calling the police!"😂😂
Nice job!
I am a fashion photographer and I am afraid of family shoots … because of the kids or babies x_x but I do find them cute I have 2 this month. Wish me luck.
Great video! What time of day do you think is best to shoot?
Thanks for these great ideas. I was recently asked to photography my neighbor's family ……..something I'm terribly nervous about. This will be very helpful!!
Super cool!
Love this! Great advice.. I’m photographing my first family today!
Very helpful
I just found this 18 months later but I found it very informative. I like to photograph families outdoors and get multiple different looks within a very small range of areas, so it sounds like we are similar on that. I thought your pictures came out really good. My favorites were with the yellow flowers in front of the house, and the mom on the rocks.
great video
omg thaaaank youuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!
