One of the most common and best family photo poses that people use involves sitting down with the children.

Out & About 

If you are looking for family photo pose ideas that don’t involve sitting, don’t be afraid to go out and about.

Many families are hitting the street and getting on the move shots of the group. While your family is walking on the streets downtown or in the woods, you can capture some unique shots. To make the pose even better, you can put your children on your shoulders, hold hands, or incorporate props. 

Getting outside of the studio can help you get some of the best pictures of your family.

Candid family poses are fun and offer the most personality. You can get genuine smiles and expressions in these poses since they aren’t forced. If you have young kids, this is probably your best shot at getting a good picture when kids don’t want to settle down.
