The people who will be with you through thick and thin, your family is one of the best things that has happened to you whether you realize it or not.
But let us ask a crucial question—When was the last time you had a family picture taken?
No, we aren’t talking about the mandatory family photo while attending a wedding. If it has been a while, you might not even know where to go, whom to hire & how to get clicked. Lucky for you, we have the answers to all of those. Let’s start with a few outdoor family photoshoot ideas & then move to the rest of the information.
8 Outdoor Family Photoshoot Ideas
Happy Family? It’s like a Walk in the Park for us
Take a weekend out to visit one of your city’s finest parks. Yes, it is as simple as that.
You can get clicked while walking through the park recreations, sitting on the grass, gossiping with your favourite beverage in hand, on the swing with your children or hosting a family mini-game!
Hot Day isn’t it?
Summer can be punishing but there’s a way around it. Why not gather your family members in the backyard to cool off?
Pull out the inflatable pool and put a loose hose out. The cold water with some fresh cool beverages is a great way to bring out the natural smiles & capture them. You can get clicked playing with water or splashing around in the pool.
Warm & Fuzzy
Conversely, if it’s the time of year when everything gets cold, bring out grandma’s knitted sweaters and heavy blankets for some unique outdoor winter family photoshoot ideas.
Get all warm & fuzzy, ensuring everyone’s well protected against the cold. You can try basic poses like basking in the sun together or having a laugh while your noses turn pink. Bonus points if there’s snow as it adds another layer of photoshoot ideas. Interact with the snow and get clicked building a snowman and having a snowball fight.
A Monument-al Day
Time to bring the car around and visit a famous monument!
Most monuments are surrounded by a beautiful park that gives great opportunities for family photography. Pictures of any activity come out great with a famous monument in the background! Running short on ideas? Try sitting and talking, playing light games (like with a frisbee), or a picnic shot for the best candid family pictures.
Activities Anyone?
Talking about activities, let’s kick it up a notch.
Let’s cover a few outdoor family photoshoot ideas that revolve entirely around activities. For starters, all of you can visit an amusement park. The thrilling rides and adrenaline rush will surely bring out a few great shots. Other ideas include going swimming in your local pool and playing a sport (you can include your relatives too).
Beach Day Out
The beach is an all-time favourite to visit with your family members.
Playing in the ocean, splashing water, building sand castles, playing beach volleyball or just sunbathing, all carry the potential to be great picture-perfect opportunities.
Showing Love
A family is built on the strongest foundation of love. Time to bring the feeling out for the perfect family photograph.
A click with everyone hand in hand, walking in the same direction can come out great, especially during the golden hour. You can also lie down on the grass and tickle each other, forcing some laughs and a few candids along the way. Another idea is the classic flowers in the air with a burst shot to get all the frames and choose the best one later.
Denim
A full-frame picture with everyone wearing the same denim? Yes, please!
One can never go wrong with denim. Dress every member in the same shade of denim and white for a matching click. Use all the natural props in your backyard like the tree and the bushes to interact with each other.
Achievements & Accomplishments
This one is for proud parents. Bring out all the major awards and achievements earned by your family and be clicked with it!
This shot is perfect for a full family photo that flaunts your accomplishments in life. The tried and tested is the shot where everyone stands together holding one or two of their personal achievements in their hands.
Have an overachieving family? We got that covered too.
Put a few tables together and arrange all the awards on them. You are free to hold a few and place the others in a symmetrical arrangement.
While all these are great ideas, it might get difficult to cover all these places in a day. The best scenario would be a place with multiple backdrops you can choose from so that you end up with numerous family photographs with different backgrounds.
This is where Elements come into the picture.
Elements is the largest chain of photoshoot locations in India. They have photoshoot locations in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and Coimbatore with amazing backdrops containing vivid colors and props for your outdoor family photoshoot that makes it look like you visited all those places!
