Personality-Packed Portraits | My Interview on The Art & Soul Show
I had such a wonderful time chatting with Lisa on The Art & Soul Show podcast about one of my favorite topics… capturing kids and families in a way that feels authentic, joyful, and full of personality.
As both a lifestyle and school photographer here in Portland, I’m endlessly fascinated by the little quirks, expressions, and connections that make each family and child unique, and I love finding ways to preserve that through my work.
In this episode,“Personality-Packed Portraits: Rebecca Hunnicutt’s Approach to Kids and Families for Lifestyle Family Photography” we talked about everything from finding the right locations and using color intentionally, to balancing lifestyle sessions with school portraits. It’s a conversation all about creating photographs that tell stories and hold meaning, not just for now, but for decades to come.
Here’s some things I shared in my episode:
How I found my niche
Common mistakes I see when photographers are choosing locations for photo sessions
Tips to improve your composition skills
How I use color to set the mood and influence the feel of my photographs
How you can manage photoshoots while respecting family dynamics
Why I love school photography and my advice for starting out
How to find inspiration and avoid creative burnout as a photographer
My best advice for brand new photographers
This conversation was such a wonderful mix of photography strategy, creative insight, and the “heart” side of working with families. If you’ve ever wondered how to capture those little details that make photos timeless, or if you’re looking for ways to keep your photography fresh and inspired, this episode is full of encouragement and practical tips.
