Ideas For Creative Family Portraits

By Young Lindsay


There are instances in the family where activities together is essential to strengthen and replenish bonds. A few of these activities aside from trips, eating out, etc., would be doing family pictures. The regular one in studios can be done but a more creative shot would be a great way to immortalize the core of everyone.

These considerations are simple to remember and can be ironed out easily. Having family portraits Honolulu is a good way to immortalize memories and reflects the real personality of the members as a whole. Having this would be worth it in the long run.

Consider asking assistance from a professional photographer in turning those ideas into a reality. Ask recommendations from friends, relatives, and colleagues on which people to hire. Or if by some chance you saw some of other portraits of people with the style that ultimately interests you, then go ahead and ask them as well.

While checking the portfolio of the photographer, try to check if their style would match your ideas. If not, ask them if they are able to do any modifications or personalizations that would adapt to those ideas. Try to ask also if they are okay with managing a large number of people in case your family is big, and if they would also be okay with kids as well. It is already a given that getting a photographer would be quite expensive, but this is not true in most cases.

You need to schedule in advanced. There are peak seasons for these portraits and most likely it would be around Fall and bookings for these people would run out totally fast. Plan ahead and ask if they are also flexible with the schedule just in case, like if the weather would not cooperate. Rely on their suggestions as well and make sure you and the professional are on the same page.

Figure out where to have the shoot. It is important to survey the area or the place to make sure of the characteristics that that place would usually have. Like in parks, determine which times of the day it is usually crowded. The place should match with the personality of everyone, it should be comfortable or somewhere with a great view depending on the decision.

Props could be essential in adding aesthetic to the whole composition of the image. Make sure that everything would fit accordingly towards the theme and make sure the color themes would not clash unless it is done on purpose. Plan out the arrangement as well with the objects and the blocking of the members.

There should be freedom during the pictorial in terms of angles and poses. The photographer should be willing to accept any suggestions as well and the family members should also be able to listen in return to the suggestions of the photographer. The usual poses would included members would compressed towards each other in a close up shot, candid shots, playful ones, lying down, jump shots, hugging, holdings hands, and many others.

You can try and look at other pictures and see if you can get some of those concepts and combine them with your own. Look up as many resources as possible so that you can solidify your own concept and turn those to real pictures with your own family. Photo editing programs can help in executing weird and quirky concepts.
