The best pictures we have with our family are those shot when we least know it and during joyful moments. And we perhaps already have lots of them given that it is easy to shoot with our digital cameras and camera phones. As much fun it is to do so, perhaps it is time that we take a little more official to show the next generation. What we require this time is a professionally taken family portrait.
The next generation will benefit from the family portrait as much as we will. As the supreme family tribute, it is a little that will tell the children of our children their family story. It is a commemoration of our milestones as family. Each candle we blow on our cake and every member born is deserving of a family portrait. It's also a tradition. We may have a lot of family pictures already, but we also need family portraits with a more professional treatment.
With every typical family, kids are always present. As children are seemingly incapable of sitting still even for a few minutes, the photo take is almost guaranteed to take long. Induce them into behaving by having candies or toys. Make them comfortable as much as possible, which also goes for the senior members of the family. The warmth from the photographer's lights or sunlight, if the picture take takes place al fresco, can wear them down. Bring their medicines as a preventive measure and allocate a room or shade area for them to cool down.
You can have an outdoor picture or you can take it indoors. Discuss where you would like to hold it with your family. Go for the most popular suggestion. Vote on the options if you must so everybody will feel involved. Just steer clear of taking it with a eminent landmark as backgrounds because the focus of the picture will divert to the backdrop. Traditional family photographs are usually very formal, although you could make it fun and have a theme such as all-red motif or mafia-themed photo shoot where everybody wears mafia-like suits and dresses. Then tell your photographer what your family selected and let him direct the present to from then on.
Finally, accept the fact that not everybody has a perfect smile. You might expect them to have flawless Barbie and Ken smiles, but realize that if some might smirk or others might decline to smile at all then it is just all right. You would want to present to each one's character more than to incorporate a little formality in the picture because nothing is more depressing than a family photograph featuring members sporting fake smiles.
