Go To Southhill For A Group Photo Spread This Week

By Lorraine Russell


Some of our most precious moments are those we have spent with our family. It is also important to capture those moments on film as often as we possibly can. Family photography, whether it is for a common daily activity or huge family event, is not to be missed in either case. We will always have the ability to reflect on happy times we shared with our family as we progress in age. The following advice can help you with taking photographs of your family in an organized way.

Unplanned photo opportunities in the home. You can create a record of the everyday activities that go on around your home. An unplanned photo is referred to as a random shot. You can photograph each member of your family by themselves or they can be photographed as a group while engaging in everyday household tasks done with each other. If you would like to be included in the photo as well this can be achieved by using the self-timing function on the camera along with a tripod.

Photographing special celebrations and functions. The most memorable and notable events most anticipated by the family are those get togethers such as the holidays, birthdays, weddings, reunions, baptisms, and parties. Because these celebrations don't happen very often, you'll find it worth your while to take as many shots as you can. For photos that are more engaging, have the people pose in various ways from goofy to profound.

To get a formal family portrait. To create a formal family picture try using your living room as the back drop and ask everyone to wear their best attire. While most family portraits are formal in nature, you can have your family try different poses to change it out.

In order to create a more relaxed atmosphere, you could take the picture outside. Why not go so far as to make this into a traditional occasion for your family so that you have a beautiful photograph to mark each passing year? Heading to the studio or hiring a professional photographer will not be necessary for this event. All you will need is your own tripod, camera, lighting and the family in one room together for creating a "picture perfect" photograph!
