To ensure that your family photography session at Griffith Woods Park is a success, there are a few things you can do to prepare ahead of time. First, choose outfits that coordinate and are appropriate for walking through the forested areas. Closed toes shoes are recommended as most of the pathways are unpaved.

Solid tones are always a great option to ensure the focus remains on your expressions and not distracting elements in your clothing.
