This time of year I have family session after family session and after spending the past few months photographing them all, I am OUT of ideas.

I’m sure many of you feel the same way, you book a client and they all want the same thing, the perfect family portrait.

So instead of doing the same canned family photo, I decided to do some research and I came across this awesome posting guide from Laura Siebert.

It’s a printed workbook full of fun games that make your sessions shorter and make sure you get natural expressions from everyone!

If you need a little creative boost to get you through these holiday sessions, these workbooks are worth every penny.
