The Location 场景
You’re not restricted to a portrait studio these days! Outdoor photography offers natural lighting for beautiful pictures and endless options. Check out these tips to narrow them down…
1. Drive around and pay attention to different areas near you that would make beautiful and creative backgrounds.
2. Pick a location that matches your family’s personality. You’ll want these pictures to reflect this time in your lives. So while railroad tracks can look cool, Blissfully Domestic recommends that you ask yourself, “Would our family really spend time here?”
3. Before getting too attached to a location, run it by your photographer. They should know if there are any issues with your choice (such as a required permit or difficult lighting) or if there are better choices available.
4. Browse family pictures online for location inspiration. Our “Family Picture Ideas” Pinterest Board is full of ideas!
The Props 道具
The difference between a good picture and a great picture is in the details. So don’t forget to add in some fun props for that little something extra…
1. Sarah Wert of Modern Kids Photography suggests including items from the natural environment in family photos. “Keeping the props as minimal and realistic as possible helps keep the focus on the connection between the family.” So try a bouquet of wild flowers or a picnic blanket.
2. Incorporate items that have meaning to your family to really personalize the picture. Photographer Wendy Laurel recommends using props to highlight your family’s hobbies. So if you love biking together- why not throw in a bike or two?
3. Props such as a couch, chairs, stools, or a ladder can help add different posing options to the same location.
4. Bringing along your child’s favorite toy or blanket will not only capture the special memory in the photograph, but will also help keep your child happy and cooperative.
5. Props such as chalkboards, signs, wooden letters, or scrabble tiles can help you spell out and convey a specific message.
The Poses 美姿
While your photographer is sure to have suggestions and guidance on posing, knowing a couple of pose ideas beforehand that you absolutely LOVE can help you get just the picture you’re looking for. Here are some of our favorite family picture posing ideas…
The Clothes 衣着
Don’t know what to wear for family pictures? Check out these tips for endless outfit and color inspiration…
1. Coordinate the style and color of your clothing with your location in mind.
2. When choosing a color palette, consider what will go well with the colors of your home. After all, most people plan to hang them up!
3. Try to avoid clothing that is super seasonal. Unless you’re planning on using them only for Christmas cards, red and green scarfs may not be the best choice. Pick a style, color, and location that you don’t mind displaying in your home year-round.
4. Don’t be afraid of color and pattern. While you may not want everyone to wear a bold color or a busy pattern- a pop or two of color and design adds interest to the picture. Check out some great examples at Click it Up a Notch and Kristen Duke photography.
5. Layer! Adding layers to your outfit not only adds texture to the picture, but also allows you to shed layers later on for different looks in different pictures.
6. For a photo that stands the test of time- opt for clothes that are classic rather than super trendy.
