Candid photos.... yay or nay?

Let's make this short: YAY.


Why are candid photos invaluable? Because they have no limits, no rules, no stress. I love both candid and posed images -- my galleries have both to give clients the BEST variety to choose their images from, and it's suitable for families or couples of all personalities.

Posed photos give us those timeless, perfect portraits that we will look back on and just love. They will be valued for a lifetime, seeing smiles and all eyes on the camera

Candid photos, however, are a MUST. These types of images allow your true personality to come through. For families, this could be silly kids, loud laughter, funny faces... for couples, this could be intimate moments, shy smiles, bedroom eyes. These are the photos that will capture the moment; the feeling in that moment.


These unposed images will allow you to look back at them years down the road and remember the sounds of the baby's giggle, or the feel of your fiancé's touch on your cheek.


So final verdict... Have both! A variety of both allows you the best of both worlds :)
