This time, I want to share a mother and daughter studio photoshoot I did days ago. They wanted beautiful photos to have a lifelong memory, so we coordinated a date at my studio and brought this session to life.

Before starting, I usually ask if they have prior photoshoot experience. The mom told me she did, but it was her daughter's first time, and they had never taken photos together. So, I knew I needed to guide them throughout the entire session.

To begin the first shots, I wanted to use a cube in the studio because people usually feel more comfortable when seated:

We made slight variations in the poses to get a diverse range of photographs:

All the photos were taken with my Canon R8 camera and a 50mm f/4 lens.

For lighting, I used two light sources: for the main light, I used a speedlite flash with a 50 cm octabox at a 45 degree angle to the subjects, and as a secondary light, I used an LED light panel behind them to create a rim light.

Then I placed a small cube on top of the large one to create this photo where the mom is styling her daughter's hair:

And we also took this photo:

For the next set of photos, I removed the cube from the set, and we moved on to some standing shots. We took many photos, but these two were our favorites:

To conclude the mother daughter portion of the photoshoot, we took this photo with both of them on the floor, which turned out super adorable!

Then it was time for some individual shots. I started with the daughter since her birthday was approaching, and she wanted some professional photos for it.

Since the lights were set up for floor shots, we started there. I guided her with the poses the entire time to make her feel comfortable:

Then I put the cube back on the set, and we made slight variations in poses to find the best photos:

And we finished the session with this photo of the mother, which was totally unexpected. Out of nowhere, she suddenly told us she had always wanted a photo like this and showed me the reference photograph. She changed her clothes and got ready on the set for us to create this really cool shot.

By the end of the photoshoot, both the clients and I were extremely happy with the results. I hope you like them as much as we did!
