For me, it's super simple... - Does it look like a shot I would take of my own kids? - Are the people in the shot connecting to each other (rather than to the camera)? - As the viewer, does my heart go to the human connection first, or the lighting/styling? Easy. This shot of Will and Helen is, to me, a beautiful family shot.
