1. Use Props To Bring Spice To The Photos

Using props is fun for a family to do and the prop can be anything... the possibilities are endless! Talk to the family beforehand and see what it is that they love. Do they have a sport that they all enjoy to play together or a car that would be fun to include? It could even be something simple like bringing along a picnic blanket and basket so they can relax and have a picnic while taking their photos. 

2. Capture Their Silhouette

If you are doing the family photo shoot during the time of a sunset, try and plan to capture a silhouette of the family together. Seeing them stand together holding hands or looking at one another can be stunning and make for a wonderful portrait. Kimberly Reid mentions in the guide that in order to get a good silhouette shot, its important to have a blank canvas behind your subjects. One good way to do this is to get on the ground and shoot them up, so the sky is your canvas.

Here are 4 great ways to pose families straight from Kimberly Reid and the Learning The Basics of Family Photography. 

1. A Large Family Sitting

Height and variation are important when shooting a family portrait. You do not want to have everyone at eve level as that can make things boring.

2. Jumping Pose

Having fun at a family photo session is so important and everyone loves to jump in pictures. Possibly have the children jump while dad is stealing a kiss from his wife. Just make sure you talk with your clients to make sure this is something they are all comfortable doing.

3. Sitting on Ledges

You can find so many different locations that have a great ledge you can sit on. Perhaps a doc or a ledge outside of a really cool office building in the city. Alternating the way they sit from adult, child, adult, child to differentiate levels and keep the eye moving is important. With families, it is also fun to take some shots while they are all looking at the camera and others while they are looking at each other.

4. Shy Parents

This is a great pose where the parents look like they are a little timid about having their photo taken. They will be in the background but the focus will be on the kids.
