Don MacGregor

Family Photography – From Consultation to Installation 

Family portraits are considered by many to be the most lucrative professional product in the portrait industry.

Successful family portraits follow a process from two directions. One is the actual photography session (vision, posing and lighting) and the other is the education of the client regarding the value of what we as professionals do which establishes respect and trust and of course financial success.

This fast paced program will explore the process of creating and selling family portraits. Starting with the consultation this program will follow all the steps including the installation. Composition will be a key part of the presentation as well as how to pose people for family groups and how to control light in the environment (naturally and with speed lights).


Don MacGregor,

M.Photog.Cr.,CPP,API ,F/PPOC, MPA,(HLM),SPA,F/A/PPABC,

started his PROFESSIONAL career in 1970 and started MacGregor Studios in 1974. The studio has grown from a humble beginning in an apartment to a 500 sq ft store front and finally to a 3500 sq foot building in Vancouver. The studio has gone through several changes over the years. Wedding photography has comprised approx. 40% of the studio business and has been consistent over the years. Graduation portraits were a foundation in the 70’s and 80’s. The 90’s saw a dramatic focus on Lifestyle family and wall portraiture which now comprises almost 70% of the studios sales. Today, the studio focuses on family portraiture and wall décor.
