Family Photo

[Spinoza]

A friend of a friend is coming over tomorrow to take a few snaps of us and the children. We have never had any even semi-professional photos of the children (apart from apalling school ones, which we don't usually buy), so want these to come out looking nice.

Any tips? Do you have a family portrait? Do you regret anything in it, or wish you had done it differently?

My friend is recommending jeans and a white shirt for all, so's it doesn't date. My daughter is insisting on wearing her party frock though. Go figure.

Need guidance please! All opinions welcome up till midday tomorrow - after that it's a done deal!

Doing bunny ears fingers behind the OH's head is always good for a laugh

Seriously though, I think the less posed a pic is, the more it looks nice.

Good luck!

A good background is something to think about, a tree growing out your head or a lampshade on your head can spoil a picture.....but can also be amusing too....

Done, and they're lovely. Thanks for the tips. Not a big one for putting photos of me or kiddies on the net, but might stick one up here for a day or two so you can see the results when I get them. (And have photoshopped the hell out of my wrinkles)!
