Nyman Family Portrait Session

Family portrait sessions are such an incredible way to create lasting memories. This Nyman Family Portrait Session is no exception. Joy knew it was time to document this special time in their lives. She understood that a family portrait was the perfect way to create a gift that her family would treasure forever. 

The Process

First, we began the process by visiting their home. This helps us get a sense of their lifestyle and allows us to choose a color and style palette that will coordinate with what they already have in their home. During this visit, we also helped the family select the perfect location for the two oil portraits they wanted for the session. We knew a more formal portrait would fit perfectly in their family room. Then we chose a space downstairs that would work for a more modern portrait. This image would be a black and white oil painting on acrylic to compliment the space.

We envisioned the color palette for the more formal Renaissance portrait to be a variety of medium to dark blues with white or gold accents. This was the perfect pairing with the lush greenery and tall leather armchair that served as the perfect prop for this shoot. A totally different mood and feeling would be created in the second oil portrait that would hang downstairs in their man cave.

The session began in the gardens of our Richmond, Virginia studio. The family was at ease in front of the camera and some of the more relaxed shots were Joy’s favorites. While these images might not end up on the wall, they will be treasured in their Folio Box along with their other favorite candids and extra individual poses. Once we captured what we needed outside we transitioned to the studio where we photographed the perfect shot to use for their Black & White Relationship portrait.
