 Whether you love taking photos of your family yourself or you’ve finally booked that remote family photo session, taking clutter into consideration is a part of the process.
The last thing you want is to have the perfect shot of the people you love only for a pile of laundry or scattered toys or worse to be lingering in the background. Naturally, remote portrait shoots are meant to capture moments in your day-to-day environment, but there is a limit to how many distractions you should allow. Here are some tips to help you better prepare for your remote photo shoot.
Overall, don’t overthink clutter or distractions in your home. Rather start by focusing on anything that is glaringly obvious and work around that. Keep in mind that your photographer also has the ability to edit photos if you happen to miss anything. Don't be afraid to utilize a nearby closet as needed lol its only for a short time frame and doesn't need to be overwhelming. If you found these tips helpful, please like/share/comment!

It has their name or branding so there are a few important restrictions to note when it comes to the professional digital images that you receive.
1) Copyright. The digital images that your photographer provides you with have a copyright, which means the photographer has the option to use those photos to market their work and services anytime in the future. We are however also respectful of our clients so if there are any images that you would prefer to keep private, it’s best to let us know about it ahead of time so that we can honor your wishes. 2) Image type. We aren’t able to provide you with the original files or raw images. All images given to the client have been cropped and have been edited. If you do require further touch ups we would need to provide you with a quote for that work to be done. 3) Image altering. While we appreciate your business and welcome the sharing of our photos on social media platforms, we ask that the images not be altered in any way as this is against our copyright policies. I for one offer sneak peek images that are already set up for social media sharing. Not everyone does this, so ask ahead of time if you want sneak peeks to share online. What constitutes image altering?
Our photos are a representation of our work so when a customer alters an image it directly impacts our name and brand in the industry. When we present you with final images, they have already been through our editing process and don’t require further alterations. When images are altered, the results are not always reflective of our original work and can then be mistaken for ours. We greatly appreciate your loyalty and cooperation in this matter. I DO understand that some social media platforms will auto crop when trying to load an image.... when this happens I simply request that you tag me in the photo and have a photo credit tag in your post caption for @JwilsonPix If you found any of this post helpful please like/comment/share!  Have you heard of remote photography? It’s like having a photographer in your back pocket… which it technically is… in your phone.. Lolol
I’d love to share what it’s all about. I’ve found that working with people from all over the world these last few months that there’s a few points that make this awesome & everyone relates to. 1. A lot of people don’t realize it’s an option! 2. Many places are in different levels of lockdown and this is a super easy way to not have to deal with any bs. 3. Many people are moving into the world of being an entrepreneur, focusing on being more visible online and using your profile pic from 10 yrs ago isn’t going to cut it anymore. 4. Families are gathering when/how they can. Having your own personal photographer to work with at the family’s convenience can make or break that gathering getting documented!
