Gratiana family session
Family photo shoot in Punta Cana
A family photo shoot in Punta Cana can be a wonderful experience, thanks to the beautiful beaches and lush landscapes.
Gratiana contacted us through our Facebook page but she found us in a forum on Facebook. She and her lovely family were at Grand Bahia Principe for 11 amazing days on their first time visiting DR.
She thought that it was a great idea to book a family photo shoot to capture this special moment of their lives and also to celebrate her birthday!
The forecast had been pretty awful the previous day, but… on the day of their photo shoot, the sun was shining and the sky was pretty clear.
We spent a lovely morning doing their portraits, most of them very spontaneous because the kids, our camera simply adored them.
Gratiana wondered about where we would go for the pics, and as usual, we recommended going to Macao beach, because it was pretty close to their resort. Punta Cana’s beaches, such as Bavaro Beach and Macao Beach, offer stunning backdrops with white sand, turquoise waters, and palm trees. Perfect for amazing photoshoots.
Regarding the best time for photos, we always recommend the early morning or late afternoon, because it provides the best natural light for photography, with softer and warmer tones. Definitely, avoid midday because the sun can be too harsh, causing strong shadows and squinting.
What to Wear for your family photo shoot?
- Coordinated Outfits: Choose outfits that complement each other in terms of color and style. Light, breathable fabrics are ideal for the warm climate.
- Colors: Soft pastels, white, and light neutrals look great against the natural scenery. Avoid overly bright or dark colors that might clash with the surroundings.
- Comfort: Ensure everyone is comfortable in their outfits, especially children, as it will reflect in the photos.
Additional Tips
- Hydration and Sun Protection: Ensure everyone stays hydrated and wears sunscreen to avoid discomfort during the shoot.
- Relax and Have Fun: The best photos come when everyone is relaxed and enjoying themselves.
