Family photos are a great way to celebrate a chapter of your family's book. Kids grow up faster than you'd ever imagine so remembering to take time for a family photo shoot is so important. If you're tired of typical studio shoots of your family lined up in a row, consider these fun and quirky ideas to spice up your family photos!

Bubble Machine

Bubble machines provide a lot of fun and will be sure to bring out your children's laughter and smiles. Also, they make for the most adorable photos!

Playset

Capture the playful side of your family with some action shots from the jungle gym. Personally, my favorite photos are always candids. An engaging, entertaining environment will keep everyone in a positive mood and serves as a lovely backdrop for your family photos.

Storytime

Read your favorite bedtime story as a family on the sofa or maybe on your porch swing. These are the precious moments you want to hold on to, so make sure to capture them in a photo.

At Home

Especially for young children, photographing them in an environment they already feel comfortable in is a great idea in order to avoid tandrums or general uncooperativeness. Your home is a place full of treasured memories so it can be the perfect backdrop to capture these memories in a photograph forever.

Plan An Activity

Whether it's arts and crafts or visiting the new hot spot, going on an adventure as a family will be an absolute blast. Make memories you'll never forget as the photographer quietly captures these intimate moments.
