5 Ways to Personalize Your Family Photos.
When planning your family session you stress about outfits, the look of your home, getting everyone to the location without anything to worry about, stained clothes, and if the kids will cooperate. It is easy to completely miss out on planning the FUN parts of your session! Your family photos should feel like your individual family when you look at them. You should be able to look back on those photos as time goes by and feel like you’re back in those days.
Those images should be able to spark emotions of what it feels like to have your family around. We like to refer to them as timeless images.
Add Personal Touches:
Use props or clothing that reflect your family's interests, hobbies, or culture. For example, if your family loves playing music, you could incorporate musical instruments into the photo. Or if your family has a cultural background, you could wear traditional clothing or use cultural props in the photo.
Choose a Unique Location:
Instead of taking photos in a studio or at a typical outdoor location, choose a location that is special to your family. This could be your backyard, a favorite park, or a meaningful landmark.
Incorporate Your Pets:
Pets are part of the family too, so why not include them in your family photos? You could take photos with your pets or include them in a creative way in the background.
Use Candid Shots:
While posed family photos are great, candid shots can also capture special moments and emotions. Take candid shots of your family doing everyday activities or having fun together.
Create a Photo Wall:
Display your family photos in a unique and personalized way by creating a photo wall. You could use different frames, sizes, and styles of photos to create a collage that reflects your family's personality and style.
