Webster NY Large Family Portraits
Capturing your extended family in a photograph is a special task that can yield stunning results with the right approach. As photographers for over 10 years, we’ve learned a few tips to help you achieve memorable images that reflect your family’s unique bond.
Here are three tips for making your extended family photos shine:
What to Wear in Family Pictures: Coordinate, Don't Match
For standout family pictures, opt for a coordinated color palette rather than matching outfits. Choose complementary colors and similar styles to achieve a unified look without everyone wearing the same thing. This approach helps each family member shine while maintaining harmony in the group shot.
Planning Your Family Portraits: Timing Matters
The best lighting for portraits often happens during the golden hours—early morning or late afternoon. Scheduling your family session during these times provides soft, flattering light and often ensures that kids are more content and cooperative.
Embrace the Candid Moments as They Happen
While posed family pictures are important, some of the most memorable photos come from spontaneous interactions. Let your family play, laugh, and interact naturally. These candid family picture moments truly capture your family’s unique spirit and connections.
