Every year brings with it the opportunity to capture more memorable moments and milestones with your family. It seems that as we head into 2021, we can still expect to see a lot of the classic family photo styles with a contemporary twist that will really make them stand out.
Here is what I potentially expect to see more of this year in terms of family photography.
Muted Colors
More and more photographers are encouraging their clients to experiment with muted hues because of the classic element that it adds to family photos. A great way that you can do this is to select outfits with pastel colors or greys & whites - don’t go overboard with pastels we don't want to look like an Easter egg but adding floral patterns with solids will help everything cohesive.
Generational Shots
We live in an age of storytelling, which is why multigenerational shots have become increasingly popular. You never know how long each generation is still going to be around for so use this opportunity to capture parents, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren together. This is a wonderful keepsake that can be passed down through future generations.
Dressing Up
Gone are the days of dressing casual for portraits. While this has a a place in some lifestyle sessions and you should always be true to you, dressing as you would to go to a best friend's wedding or even a Sunday at church is the way to go. Family portraits are an investment and you should treat it as such. Dress to impress, this will also make your images more classic in nature and will create heirloom imagery that showcases your legacy for years to come.
Milestone Shots
Much of milestone photography falls under the family photography umbrella and it’s a trend that doesn’t seem to be disappearing anytime soon. This includes everything from newborn shoots to capturing birthdays, new school years and achievements. More parents want to capture the small yet extra-special moments.
Fun Poses
Traditional poses will always have their place, but more families want to experiment with fun poses and unique angles when updating their family albums. A family snuggling together instead of looking at the camera is a great example of what we want more of!
When it comes to photography, it’s always interesting to know what trends are currently doing the rounds. However, you should always stick to styles and settings that truly represent who your family is for the most authentic result.
