LOGAN AND SPROUT FAMILIES BY CHRIS KNOWLES; THE ROCK FAMILY BY
JESSICA CASO
THE SPROAT FAMILY
work?’” Twila Logan says. She recalls one shoot
from a previous family photographer that took
place in Ellicott City when it was dark and rainy,
and her family happened to be wearing black.

She was worried it would look too dreary, but
with the skillful use of a bit of light, the photos
turned out great, she says.

Caso says good lighting is important, but
she can’t always shoot at the time of day she
wants when it comes to maternity or family
photography. She knows there’s a “faux sunset”
at 1 p.m. at Rock Creek State Park, so if she
is planning around a baby’s sleep schedules,
that’s an option.

Finding a memorable location can also be
a game-changer for family photo sessions.

Sullivan-Solheim says Caso was able to find
some hidden gems in her neighborhood and
beyond, such as the Winkler Botanical Preserve
and little parks and fields in city areas that
added a nice touch of nature.

“I would have never driven back and
stumbled upon it,” she says of the preserve.

Sproat had her own location in mind—a farm
with stunning cherry blossoms—and it meant
a lot that Knowles was willing to be flexible
and open to the suggestion because it made the
photos, she says.

COLOR ME HAPPY
Families can do a little bit to prepare for
their shoots by paying attention to colors
and patterns.

Knowles recommends having no more than
two prominent colors. They can be different
shades of the same color. Caso notes families

should avoid small checkered patterns because
they can look off on social media and white
socks, as they tend to stick out.

Mostly though, just wear what makes you feel
the most confident, she says. n
