5 Family Portrait Ideas | Capturing Memories {Photography Ideas}

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!

mother and daughter pictures

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 =)

5 Monthly Baby Picture Ideas

Adorable, right?

Monthly Baby Pic

Looking back, I really wish I had taken the time to stage monthly baby pictures with my daughter and I thought it would be fun to take a look at some of my favorite monthly baby picture ideas.

The one on the top is from young house love. Each week, Sherri & John laid out a fabric remnant {which was later used on a small project for their nursery}, photographed their adorable daughter Clara and digitally placed her age on her onesie with Photoshop.

This chalkboard photo prop idea is from Joleen Thiessen, a Southern California photographer, who took this adorable—and incredibly creative—photo of her nephew at three months.

Nicole Balch of Making it Lovely photographed her daughter Eleanor every month for 2 years! And from this collage we can see how much {and how fast} she grew!
