Once again, you find yourself thinking of ideas to use for your next family portrait session, which you do every year. You realise that you have always taken on the traditional formal setup before, which, albeit it turned out beautiful, did not seem to vary from all the other family portraits of the previous years. Now, for a change, you want to come up with something you and your family will not forget any sooner.
And then you begin asking yourself what themes could best portray your family. For this purpose, the following tips may come in useful.
Think about your family's personality, or probably hobbies you all share together. Are you all inclined to music? Does your family love to travel around the world? Do you all prefer the colour red? Are you all fond of a certain film or television show, so much so that you are likely to adopt the characters in that particular show? Do you have favourite super heroes?
Let this act as your inspiration for your family portrait's theme. Adding props will also make the scene seem more vibrant and real, such as bringing maps, souvenirs, and luggage if you are a family of travellers. Meanwhile, musical instruments will add a nice authentic touch to a portrait of a family of musically-inclined, something photographers will surely have fun capturing.
Speaking of photographers for family portraits, you also need to choose the best one for your own needs. Photographers aren't created alike; similarly, something that seems beautiful for one might not ring true for another. This is where you must look at sample family portraits taken by a photography studio. From here, you can gauge how capable they are of translating your concept in mind into reality.
Do not hesitate to solicit suggestions for other ideas from your photographer. Similarly, you could request tips on how to improve your very own concept and make it more camera-friendly. The more the creative contribution that goes into the family portrait, the better it would turn out.
