It’s time to take some beautiful family photos! This is one of the most enjoyable and amusing events for any loving family, especially when you let your creativity and happiness do most of the work. Make sure that you’re all into this activity and discuss the options with all of your family members so that you can get several perfect photos. There’s nothing more priceless than having such a unique memento as the years go by.
Pick a theme
You don’t have to settle for one theme only. As mentioned, talk to everyone in your family so that you can hear out different ideas. In that respect, you can shoot as many photos as you want, dress up in various styles or have different settings and backgrounds. You can also get many cool ideas online if you’re unsure about the perfect theme. Remember that there’s no limit to this – you can go with your usual seasonal colors theme or pick something unique such as a space theme.
Do you need a professional?
You can either hire a professional photographer to do the shooting for you or do it yourself. In order to make the best decision, be honest with yourself. Do you have any experience with HD photography and do you know how to use lighting and props appropriately? If you used to take these photos all the time in the past, you can definitely do without a professional photographer. Still, if you’re unsure that the quality of the photos will turn out swell with you in charge, hire someone who’s renowned for family photos and similar topics.
Set the lighting
If you’re set on doing the family photos on your own, you need to provide adequate lighting. The way that lights fall on the surrounding background as well as all of you will make the difference between high quality photos and average ones. Use whatever you need to get the appropriate lighting. Even if you make a mess, it won’t show on the pics.
Make it fun
Do your best to make the most of this event and turn it into a real family fun. If you’re travelling somewhere to take the photos, use this opportunity to organize picnics on a sty lish kids rugs. On the other hand, if you’re staying at home, play some nice music, prepare tasty snacks and enjoy your quality time together all day.
Frame the perfect photo
Once your shoot is over, fun doesn’t stop. It’s time to pick that one perfect photo to frame and hang on your wall. You might change your family photo every year and if this is the case, develop it in a bigger resolution and use a unique frame. But, if you want all of your family photos together, you can create a nice gallery wall or display, with a lot of smaller frames and photos organized in an interesting fashion. Definitely a perfect accessory for any family home.
There’s so much you can do with your family photos every year. Apart from your own little treasure, you can use the photos you’ve taken and turn them into lovely family postcards for Christmas and New Year, or any holiday that you want to send out greetings really. What’s important is to have fun while doing so and always listen to different suggestions. If your kids are in their teens, let them be in charge for a while – they will feel appreciated and you’ll get the chance to think outside the box when it comes to themes and setting.
