Family portraits are hard. There’s a good chance everyone involved has varying levels of interest in taking a great portrait. I’m usually the one in the bunch groaning, so I’m here to tell you how to make future family shots a little less painful, specifically portraits of young siblings.
It all comes down to making it quick, easy and safe for the little ones. You’re not going to walk away with fifty amazing portraits, but if you get one great shot, the squawks and squeals are all worth it. In previous posts, we gave you a primer on photography, newborn portraits and kid candids. I advise skimming those posts to get a better understanding of light and photography before setting up your mini models.
