Last Friday, I shared with you 5 monthly baby picture ideas and you guys loved them so much {thanks for your feedback on facebook, by the way} that I thought today we could take a look at some of my favorite family portrait ideas!
Pretty cool, no? And you don’t have to be expecting to take a picture like this. Get creative, play with the math, and you’ll see that you can come up with many different ways to configure a similar shot.
I like this one because, normally, family portraits are all about how much the parents love the children. It’s nice to see a picture that captures how much the parents love each other!
The caption on this image reads: “After 8 years of marriage… 4 times more love.” Those French people are so creative!
Ok. So this one isn’t exactly a ‘traditional’ family portrait, but you can’t deny that this series of 4 captured something special between these two. A simple way of capturing the bonds between mother and daughter or a great family portrait idea idea for single moms!!!
Not a ‘traditional’ family portrait either, but I LOVE it. I believe this is Jennifer Garner and her daughter Violet on a photo shoot a few years back. This is one I would definitely love to recreate!
Your homework this weekend:
Get creative and take pictures of you and your little ones {or baby bump} and post them on our Facebook page. We’ll pick our favorites and post them here next Friday!
Have a great weekend =)

We are headed to the grand opening of the new children’s garden at our local Botanic gardens tomorrow. Now I’m extra excited for the photo ops. Have a great weekend.
@Jess H, That’s so cool! You’ll definitely get some great shots there. Hope you’ll share them with me =)
These are all amazing. I love each and every one. The french photo with the quote is just too much – made me teary.
@Kate @ The Shopping Mama, I know!!! How cute is that?! I’m trying to figure out how to do something similar with just one child =)
Absolutely love the first picture idea. I would absolutely take a shot like that and display proudly on my desk at school!
These are all so clever! I love them and hope to recreate some with my family!
I love these! They would be great Christmas card ideas as well! I’ve already shown my husband the French hands…we even have 4 kids, though mine are older and I’m sure the picture would be a bit more funky with all their crazy bracelets! But hey, that’s who we are!
@Jasmine, You should definitely give it a try! Bracelets, rings and nail polish are just a few ways that girls can express their personalities in a picture like this. Let me know how it goes.
Hi I was wondering if you could help me find the original or a better quality photo of the jennifer and violet garner photo. I am looking to put this photo in my salon and want to blow it up. Do you know if this was for a magazine or any more info? When I search it your blog comes up the most with the photo. I’d appreciate any info! Thank you soo much! :)
@Nina, this image is part of a magazine photo shoot from a few years back. I tried to find the original source but I’ve had no luck. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.
Hi Nicole!
I’m trying to track down the Jennier Garner image for a magazine in the States. I was wondering if you’ve had any luck in the past year tracking down the source for it?
Thanks!
I LOVE this!! I am 24 weeks pregnant and trying to come up with some good ideas for pregnancy and family photos. Thanks for posting!
@Becky, thanks for your comment! We’ve got more photo ideas coming REALLY soon — and there are a few more right here: http://www.chiccheapnursery.com/category/photography/
Hello, I would like to know if it’s possible to purchase a copy of the picture of Jennifer Garner and her daughter Violet. Thank you. Kelly Woods
