How To Make A Classic Family Portrait Extra Memorable

By Don Wong


It is that time of the year again when you find yourself thinking of ideas for your yearly family portrait session. For the past few years, you've stuck to the traditional formal setup, which, although beautiful, appeared to embody nothing unique and different year after year. For a change, you want to come up with something your family won't forget anytime soon.

You begin asking yourself which theme will suit your family portrait best. These tips can make this undertaking simplier and easier.

What is your family's persona, or probably the activities you all love doing together? Are you lovers of music? Do you love to travel? Are you especially partial to the colour yellow? Do you have a preferred film or TV show, whose characters have their individual counterparts in your family? Do you have any preference for super heroes?

Let this act as your inspiration for your family portrait's theme. Putting in props would also make the scene appear 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 taking.

Speaking of photographers for family portraits, you also have to choose the best one for your needs. Photographers aren't created alike; likewise, something that seems beautiful for one may not ring true for another. This is where you should look at sample family portraits taken by a photography studio. From here, you can gauge how capable they are of converting 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 enhance your very own concept and make it more photographable. The more the creative input that is poured into the family portrait, the better it will turn out.
