Pictures are memories frozen in time that we can hold forever. Gone are the days for a simply family pose, you know the one where the kids sit on stools while the parents stand behind them. Times have changed and ideas have evolved so you have to get creative.
Here a few ideas for a memorable photo session with the family:
- Football/Rugby/Basketball Theme
Pick a sport, any really and get jerseys for the family. It's a great idea for a casual fun shoot. You could have the jerseys custom-made and have the family name at the back.
- Poolside chilling
This is great a hot day and everyone is guaranteed to have fun. Get the kids matching swim suits for a cuter shot and have the family lined up on the edge of the pool from tallest to shortest. Then have the photographer get shots of you as you dive into the pool sideways, one by one. (only recommended for adults to dive but have a lifeguard on standby just to be safe)
