Photoshoots done in the comfort of your own backyard adds a level of comfort and ease. I realize not everyone has acres of land to shoot in, or a park-like setting just outside their own door. But honestly, you don’t need that much space. The most important aspect is lighting. Ask your client to view their yard throughout the day, telling them to take note when there is enough shade for them to pose in. You don’t want everything shaded, but rather the background to have speckled light. We scheduled this shoot around late afternoon in early fall. Between the flowers and leaves, and the one pine tree we were able to get a nice variation of images and their holiday card was ready to be made!
