Family Photography in Wagholi, Pune

Combinations, not just the group

A family set is judged on whether the combinations people wanted are in it.

Not on how many photographs there are. Fifteen frames containing every arrangement somebody asked for beats sixty that do not.

This is why we ask for the list beforehand rather than working through arrangements as they occur to people on the day.

A list means the set can be checked against it before delivery, which is a straightforward thing to do and almost nobody does.

When it arrives, check it against the same list. If something is missing, tell us — occasionally a combination was photographed and did not make the selection.

Where it genuinely was not taken, that is worth knowing too, because a short additional session is easier to arrange than assembling everybody again.

The timeline depends on the size of the session and is confirmed with you in writing when you book.

It is worth being explicit about how many arrangements you actually want, because there is a practical limit.

Somewhere around a dozen combinations gets done properly in a session. A list of thirty produces thirty rushed ones or twelve good ones and eighteen absences.

Prioritising the list is more useful than lengthening it, and it is the part families find hardest.

The straightforward method is to mark which five you would be genuinely upset not to have.

Those happen first, while everybody is fresh and tidy, and the rest follow if time allows.

That way a session that runs short still delivers the things that mattered.
