HAMPTONS FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

MKP was our first "baby", conceived 15 years ago. Since then we've been blessed with four beautiful children, and the passion for our family photography business has continued to grow. As parents ourselves, we understand all too well that childhood is a paradise of fleeting moments. Your little ones will never be this small again, and NOW is the time to capture your special memories as beautiful works of art.

Capture Precious Moments with a Family Photoshoot in the Hamptons

Creating lasting memories with your family is an invaluable treasure, and what better way to do it than through stunning photography captured in the serene and picturesque Hamptons? Michael Kormos Photography is here to help you encapsulate these special moments, ensuring that your family’s love and joy are immortalized forever. Whether you’re strolling down Westhampton Beach or enjoying the sunset in Southampton, our fresh and modern photography will turn your moments into timeless art.

Why Hire a Professional Hamptons Family Photographer?

In the age of smartphones, it’s tempting to rely on quick snapshots to capture your family’s milestones. But there’s a remarkable difference between casual phone pictures and professionally taken family photographs. A professional photographer knows how to capture genuine emotions, authentic interactions, and natural smiles, turning fleeting moments into beautiful memories. We also know all the best Hamptons locations, what time of day to shoot for optimal lighting, and how to pose your family in a flattering yet natural way.

Yes, we have the best gear and have mastered editing, but professional photography goes beyond the technicalities. It involves posing, styling, and capturing the essence of your family’s unique story. The photographers at Michael Kormos Photography specialize in baby and family photography, consistently delivering photographs in a signature style that reflect authenticity and warmth. With years of experience, we understand how to get everyone comfortable and happy, especially the little ones, to ensure every shot we deliver is pure magic.

The Perfect Backdrop for Your Family Photos

The Hamptons are renowned for their natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere, making them an ideal location for photoshoots. Stretching across East Hampton, Sagaponack, Bridgehampton, and Montauk, the Hamptons offer diverse backdrops ranging from pristine beaches to charming towns.
Westhampton Beach and Southampton provide scenic ocean views, while Sag Harbor’s historical charm adds a unique flavor to your photographs. Whether you’re strolling through the lush landscapes of Mulford Farm or enjoying a picnic in front of the long grasses at Sagg Main Beach, the Hamptons offers countless opportunities for candid and heartfelt photos.

At Michael Kormos Photography, our team of photographers excel in capturing families in their element. Our expertise ensures that each photo resonates with the natural beauty of the Hamptons and genuine connections that make your family unique.

Hamptons Baby & Family Photography on the Beach

The beaches of the Hamptons are not just places to relax; they’re also the perfect settings for unforgettable baby and family photographs. Locations like Havens Beach and Atlantic Ave Beach offer stunning landscapes where the ocean meets the sky, creating a breathtaking backdrop for photography.

A photoshoot on the beach comes with its own set of challenges, such as navigating wind and ensuring perfect hair styling. The photographers at Michael Kormos Photography know how to handle these nuances, making certain that you and your family look flawless in every shot.

We also schedule photoshoots during the “golden hour,” a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset when the lighting is soft, warm, and flattering. This magical time of day transforms ordinary beach photos into extraordinary pieces of art, and helps us achieve our signature look.

How to Style Your Family for a Hamptons Photoshoot

The importance of styling in creating a cohesive and visually appealing photo cannot be overstated. Coordinated outfits that complement each other and the Hamptons scenery can elevate your family photoshoot to new heights. Here are a few tips to get you started, and you’ll find more inspiration by checking out our portfolio of Hamptons Family photography.

  • Color Palette: Choose a cohesive color palette that complements the natural surroundings of the Hamptons. Soft pastels, earthy tones, and coastal colors like blues, whites, and sandy neutrals are always a safe bet. Coordinate colors between family members, but avoid matching outfits exactly as it will look outdated.
  • Patterns & Textures: Avoid overly busy patterns, as they can be distracting. Instead, opt for subtle patterns such as thin stripes, small checks, or delicate florals. Incorporate different textures like linen, cotton, and knits to add depth and interest to your photos without overwhelming the composition.
  • Get Everyone’s Input: Involve each family member in the styling process to ensure they all feel comfortable and confident in their outfits. This collaboration helps everyone look their best and adds a personal touch to your photos.
  • Hair Styles: Choose hairstyles that suit the location and weather conditions. For windy beach photoshoots, consider hairdos that keep hair in place, such as braids, ponytails, or neat buns. Loose, natural waves also work well and add to the relaxed, beachy vibe.
  • Accessories: Simple and minimal accessories can enhance your family’s outfits without drawing too much attention away from the subjects. Think about adding elements like straw hats, light scarves, or even barefoot sandals for beach shoots. Avoid large, flashy jewelry that might detract from the natural beauty of the setting and your family’s genuine interactions.

Practical details matter too. If you have a baby, remember to use bibs to avoid last-minute wardrobe malfunctions, and consider bringing extra outfits for quick changes. This attention to detail ensures your photos are perfect, down to the smallest feature.

Preparing Your Little Ones for a Smooth Photoshoot

A successful photoshoot with young children requires careful preparation. Whether you’ve got a baby, a toddler, or children of all ages, here are some tips to ensure a smooth experience:

  • Ensure your child is well fed and well rested: A full tummy and a good nap can do wonders for your little one’s mood. Schedule the photoshoot after a meal and a nap to ensure your child is content and cooperative. This is especially true if you have a baby or toddler.
  • Bring drinks and snacks: Keep your child hydrated and bring along some non-messy, favorite snacks to keep them energized and happy throughout the session.
  • Tell them about the photoshoot and get them excited: Prepare your older children by talking about the photoshoot in advance. Explain what will happen, tell them about the photographer, and get them excited about seeing the camera and playing in a fun location. Keep the conversation light and positive to build anticipation.
  • Let our photographer know about your child’s interests: Sharing a little bit about what your child loves, whether it’s a favorite game, song, or character, can help the photographer engage with them and capture genuine, joyful expressions. We are very experienced with photographing children, but it never hurts to have insider info!
  • Don’t stress about perfection: Embrace the candid moments. Children’s natural expressions and movements make for the most heartwarming photographs. Focus on enjoying the experience rather than stressing about perfect behavior.
  • Bring their favorite items (but no screens, please!): Having a beloved toy or blanket on hand can provide comfort and bring out smiles. Leave the phones and tablets at home, which can be distracting and may result in less interactive and engaging photos.
  • Make sure their clothes are comfortable: Select outfits that are not only coordinated and photogenic but also comfortable for your child to wear. This will help them stay happy and relaxed, contributing to natural, giggle-filled photos.

By following these tips, you can help create a positive and enjoyable photoshoot experience for both your little ones and the entire family. Our photographers’ experience in working with children ensures they will feel at ease, allowing us to capture their authentic smiles and playful personalities.
