A Check List to Prepare for the Annual Family Ordeal
Oops, I Mean Photo Shoot
Part 1
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2

It's a big tradition for many of us, whether the 'family' to be photographed includes you, your spouse and 4 kids; you in all your glory; you and your animal companion; you and your partner; or you and a large extended family.

Plan ahead and it will all go better. Make a checklist. I will use "Christmas." Please substitute the appropriate holiday.

1. Find your photographer.

You may have seen a photo in someone's house you like. Or ask the local yenta or a friend or your coach for a recommendation. Or get on the Internet and read and look. Here, for instance is what JustImagineInc offers: "What we create: Soft and natural photographs in comfortable settings; a choice of media for finished prints; and an artist's approach to photo enhancement using a combination of technical skill and aesthetic vision to create portraits to cherish for years to come."

View the photographer's portfolio. If you see what you like and read, book it! Decide on color, black and white, sepia or art-ography. Here's some photo-art that could give you a really exceptional holiday card.

2. Check everyone's schedule and book the appointment.

Then write it on everyone's calendar. Do this early before the holiday social calendar heats up. 10 am is a good time of day to choose.

If you have a wide range of hair colors and skin tones, advise the photographer and ask her what colors would look best. Check on backgrounds and settings available. If you have nearly white-haired toddlers, as I did, advise the photographer because they need special backgrounds.

3. Decide on a theme and get it coordinated.

Maybe everyone's going to wear a white shirt and khakis. Maybe it's red and green and buttons and bows. No theme at all is fine too, except "dressed up," but I'm thinking of the card I got where one child was in a burgundy sweatshirt with tennies, and the other in black Mary Jane's with a crimson red velvet dress. Reds, particularly, must be carefully supervised.

4. Get the clothes ready.

You may have to buy some. Get the rest cleaned, pressed and laid out in a separate place so they don't get messed up or worn by accident.

Unless you're a regular churchgoing family or plan a barefoot shot, you may need to get the children dress shoes; this can make or break your photo. However, you don't have to spend much. The camera doesn't know Saks from Target from the Thrift Shop. Remember to get accessories, like hair bows and socks.

5. Book grooming appointments for your two-legged and four-legged friends.

Hair cuts, hair styling, nails, and for the pets -- special grooming appointments. Plan this just right, so no one looks like a baby bird.
