Once again, you find yourself thinking of ideas to use for your next family portrait session, which you do every year. You realise that you have always adopted the traditional formal setup before, which, although it turned out lovely, did not seem to differ from all the other family portraits of the previous years. Now, for a change, you choose to come up with something you and your family won't forget any sooner.

And then you begin asking yourself which themes you must adopt. To help you decide better, keep the following tips in mind.

What is the personality of your family, or probably the activities you love doing together? Are you lovers of music? Are you a family of globetrotters? Do you particularly love the colour blue? Do you have a particular TV show or film you all love, whose characters have their individual counterparts in your family? Is there any super hero you are fond of?

Utilise this as your inspiration for your family portrait's theme. For instance, if you are a family of travellers, you could freely add props like maps, souvenirs, as well as luggage to make the scene more vibrant, interesting, and nearest to reality as you possibly could. If your family loves music, on the other hand, you can bring along your instruments and let your photographers get creative with them.

When it comes to photographers for family portraits, remember to choose the best one for your own needs. Photographers have differing work styles; a piece of work which strikes someone as beautiful may not exactly ring true for everybody else. So it is always the right move to look at sample family portraits of photography studios before signing up for a session with them. From there, you can tell which of the photographers can very well transform your concept into reality.

Do not hesitate to request suggestions on other creative ideas from your photographer. The same, you can always ask for tips on how you can enhance your concept even more and make it more camera-friendly. Keep in mind that the more the creative input that goes into your family portrait, all the better it gets.
