Candid vs. Posed Family Photos: Why You Don’t Have to Choose
When planning your family photo session, deciding between candid and posed photos can feel overwhelming. But the good news? You don’t have to pick just one! Candid photos capture your family’s genuine, unscripted moments—like belly laughs or shared glances—while posed photos offer timeless, polished portraits perfect for framing or holiday cards. As your Nashville family photographer, I blend both styles to create a gallery filled with memories you’ll treasure forever. Whether it’s playful candids or beautifully arranged portraits, every moment will reflect your family’s unique connection and joy.
