Ideas For Creative Family Portraits

By Young Lindsay


It takes a lot of time to think, plan, design, and do preparations for making an extraordinary family picture. There are a lot of creative and surreal ideas that may run through your thoughts for the photos, but turning those ideas into a reality would require a lot of aspects to consider. But altogether, it should be fun and memorable, since that is the main idea.

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.

The booking would run out really fast especially during peak seasons like in Autumn. This time is the usual for families to have their photos taken as well, and it is wiser if you could have this planned months earlier. Also, you need to communicate with them properly in terms of exchanging suggestions or ideas so that there would be no outputs of the photos that would go wrong.

Plan out the location of the shoot. If outdoors, survey the area and its characteristics like the crowd, changes in the environment, etc. Pick out a place, whether indoor or outdoor, that matches the personality of the members. It can be a place that is frequented or somewhere comfortable or with a great view as well. Consult also with the photographer if the place is okay for a shoot.

Props may be necessary to the photo and its composition. It depends if it is needed by the family and the photographer or not, so in case if there are props, they should go along with the rest of the color theme of the foreground and also with the background. The arrangement and the blocking of the members should also be planned out.

Having enough freedom is good. Being directed by the suggestions of the photographer should have a nice balance in order to exhaust out all the creativity and ideas that everyone has for the pictorials. Although most angles and poses would include ones that are holding hands, hugging, jump shots, everyone is compressed closely together for a close up, and many more.

Of course, it is much better to solidify ideas and plans by looking at references. Go online and look at other photos that you might want to mix and match with your own ideas to turn those to actual photos with your family. Anything is possible, especially with the advent of photo editing programs that could make those images way funnier or creative.
