Once again, you find yourself thinking of ideas to use for your next family portrait session, which you do each year. You realise that you have always adopted the traditional formal setup before, which, albeit it turned out beautiful, didn't seem to vary from all the other portraits of the earlier years. Now, for a change, you want to come up with something you and your family will not forget quite soon.
And then you start asking yourself what themes could best portray your family. For this purpose, the following tips may come in helpful.
What is the personality of your family, or perhaps the activities you love doing together? Are you very fond of music? Are you a family of globetrotters? Do you particularly love the colour blue? Do you have a specific TV show or film you all love, whose characters have their respective counterparts in your family? Are there any super heroes you are fond of?
Let this act as your inspiration for your family portrait's theme. Putting in props will also make the scene seem more vibrant and real, such as bringing maps, souvenirs, and luggage if you are a group of travellers. Meanwhile, musical instruments will add a nice genuine touch to a portrait of a family of musicians, something photographers will surely have fun capturing.
Speaking of photographers for family portraits, you also have to choose the best one for your own needs. Photographers are not created alike; similarly, something that looks beautiful for one may not ring true for another. This is where you must look at sample family portraits taken by a photography studio. From here, you could evaluate how capable they are of translating your concept in mind into reality.
Don't hesitate to request suggestions on other creative ideas from your photographer. The same, you can always ask for tips on how you can enhance your concept even more and make it more camera-friendly. Keep in mind that the more the innovative input that is poured into your family portrait, all the better it gets.
