Family portraits are significant heirlooms that are passed down from one generation to the next, and they connect us to our roots and help us understand who we are. If you want to start, or to continue this family tradition by having your family’s portrait taken, you need a professional photographer who will capture the ‘soul’ of your family in a portrait that will connect the generation that will follow with their past. Read this article to learn what you should keep in mind when hiring the photographer for your family portrait.

There are three things you should keep in mind when hiring a professional photographer who will take your family portrait: how much you want to spend; the kind of portrait you want (the personal and professional experiences of the photographer will help with this); and what you will do after the portrait is captured.

As with any other of your investments, first decide how much you want to spend. This is important because family portraits are captured in a studio setting, which means that your budget will affect your choice of studio. A good photographer who has experience in taking family portraits will be able to realize the kind of family portrait you want, whether that is a formal portrait against a white background, or ‘action’ shots. Also, a well organized studio will be able to provide you with the after shoot services such as prints and frames.

It is a good idea to consult with your family and know ahead of time what kind and style of portrait you want. The photographer can help you with this by showing you samples of his work. Your choice can include a formal, reserved portrait with a white background, a serious, low-key photograph with dull colours, or a photograph that captures your family at an outdoor activity or in your house.

When talking with the photographer in advance about how you want your family photography, accept his recommendations. Be sure that at foto Larco we will try to combine the quality and our experience with your needs. This will affect the quality and style of the portrait, but it will also help the photographer to capture the photographs accordingly. So decide from the start whether you want a large framed print that you can hang on the wall, a canvas type enlargement, a series of photographs that portray your family engaged in an activity, or an album, or box for your coffee table.

Whichever family portrait you decide you want, remember that the family portrait is more than a photograph; it is a family heirloom, a piece of art, your personal piece of art that will comfort both you and your children when they have left the family home to pursue their dreams, and it will tell future generations the story of their family.
