What to Expect to See in Your Family Gallery: 4 Types of Photos

Beautiful, professional photography is one of the best ways to capture every side of your warm, fun, nutty family, giving you this fleeting moment in time to treasure forever.  It’s your little (or not so little) family unit at its best, styled the way you wish they’d always dress (instead of that ratty sweatshirt they never take off), in beautiful lighting and scenery, but smiling like they really smile, laughing like they really laugh, and bursting with personality.

When I put together a gallery for my clients, I give them a nice variety of shots that provides them with a wide range of options. Here are the four types of photos I always make sure to include, and you should always look for from your family photographer.

Posed Portraits: Your Classic Family Photo

This is the photo you put on your Christmas card; the whole family gathered together, smiling, well posed, and relaxed. A pro photographer will find the right blend of subject and setting to capture the perfect shot.

Group Portraits: Celebrating The Generations

A family photo shoot is the perfect time to bring together different groupings of family members. Pair grandparents with their grandkids, bring the siblings together, and get a sweet shot of mom and dad.   Take advantage of your shoot to mix and match as much as time allows, as everyone will appreciate these captured moments down the line.

Individual Portraits: Showcasing Personality

Every photoshoot should include individual photographs. Parents especially love these as they bring out their kids’ personalities. A great individual portrait of everyone in your family (yes even the dog!) will make for a wonderful canvas collection to showcase in your home! When photographing clients I always keep in mind how these images might be displayed and having individual portraits or personality photos are a great way to add variety to your photo gallery

Silly Beach Photos

Candid Captures: Expecting the Unexpected

A goofy smile. A warm hug. A silly dance. As part of your family gallery, these are the shots that capture the unique personalities of your family members. They feel spontaneous, but great candid photos are no accident. Experienced photographers know when to be in the background, watching the natural flow of family relationships and capturing the authentic interplay between your loved ones. Whether it is a child’s boisterous laughter, a playful chat between siblings, or a sweet embrace between parents, these candid shots bring your family to life.

When collected together, these images will be a feature your family at its best: happy, playful and loving. Make sure your family photo galleries showcase these different types of images! Whether you plan for a petite or a deluxe session – be prepared to be wowed by a gallery filled with beautiful memories that you will cherish a lifetime.
