Easy & Natural Prompts for Your Next Family Session
I may have found my way in couples photography, but I got my start shooting a lot of families.
Family photography may just be one of the most reliable niches in photography. Think about it, how often do families you know book annual family photos? Or your wedding couples come back years later for you to document them with their little ones? These are the photos we hang on our walls and pass down for generations.
I’ve always known family photos are important, but since having kids I see the value even more!
And although you can almost always count on booking a family session as a photographer, they can be tricky to prepare for. You never know what the dynamic will be, if the kids will listen or if you’ll be able to direct everyone in a way that feels natural.
Being able to pose your clients in a way that feels free flowing and authentic rather than stiff and forced is an art that comes with lots of practice. Today, I want to share some of the poses I often used when posing families and a brief explanation of why I love using them in hopes they give you some inspiration when posing your families this summer!
My recommendation, start simple. Let everyone get used to the idea of a camera being in their face, while you get a feel for the dynamic and energy of the group.
“Give side hugs! Everyone face me and put your arms around each other!”
I know we’re starting off with a pretty basic pose, but trust me even the most basic poses look better with some strategic direction. Saying “side hug” keeps this one more casual than having everyone in a straight line facing the camera. Although it’s basic, this will be the photo that’s often displayed after the session is all said and done. You can always transition this prompt and tell them "while side hugging... sway back and forth", "bump hips", "tickle the person next to you", or "walk towards me".
“Parents throw the kids in the air” or "Give your kids a bumpy piggy back ride."
Obviously this prompt would only work for littles unless there’s some strong parents that really want to throw their 17 year olds around, lol. But this one is fun not only because you’ll get a shot of the kids in the air, but you’ll also get the moments in between of a lot of laughter and movement.
“Parents stand in the middle, kids circle up and do ring around the rosy around your parents!”
By mid to late session kids are always looking to get out some energy after standing for all of the “normal” photos, so it's always helpful to add some fun ones with action and movement throughout. Ring around the rosy is usually a familiar “game” and one that they’ll have fun with.
“Time for a scavenger hunt, go find flowers and bring them back to me!”
I love giving kids fun directives during family sessions to mix it up and give them a break without them really knowing I’m shooting. It’s fun to capture them interacting together. Plus, they’re usually always excited and smiley when they find whatever you send them off looking for!
“Everyone lay on your backs and snuggle together”
One thing to always keep in mind no matter what session your shooting is having variety of positions. Usually it’s best to have variety of posing styles so your clients feel they're getting a full gallery of unique shots (sitting, standing, laying, etc). This prompt is a fun way to start photos sitting or laying and capture from a new angle. Sometimes giving specific prompts are really helpful so no one is left confused and wondering what to do with their hands, but vague ones like this are great for more organic photos that let them ease into a position naturally, letting you capture their dynamic how it would naturally unfold, rather than a stiff posed photo.
There you have it, easy and natural prompts for your next family session! If you liked these, then you should definitely check out the latest product in my shop, The Posing Deck: Family Edition
For just $19 you get an entire deck of prompts for family sessions divided into three categories: Dynamic, Classic and Family Fun. Shop The Posing Deck: Family Edition, Portrait Edition, Couples Edition and Wedding Edition on my site and bundle to save!

I saw an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency about two months ago and I took my chance. I contacted a broker who I saw videos on youtube and I invested a huge sum of money around £665,211 which was deposited using Bitcoin with hopes to gain massive returns on my investment. I kept tracking my portfolio and it was increasing daily on the website. It made me excited and confident. Fast forward to 30 Days after, which was supposed to be my payout date, I tried to make a withdrawal as I needed money to foot my bills and buy my new house, but the broker insisted that I continue to invest or will have to pay some fees to withdraw my funds. That was very disappointing to hear, Contact ghostchampionwizard[at]gmail,com because it was all going smoothly when I deposited the funds. Eventually, I paid the fees which was about £45,800. I was desperate now because according to my portfolio, I had made about £1,512,400. Now you see why I was willing to pay the fees. It turned out it was a scheme to keep asking me for more money for one thing or the other, like Taxes, miner fees and so many others. I declined, and instead I won’t pay more. They locked my account for several weeks. A month after, I saw a post on Quora about GHOST CHAMPION RECOVERY HACKERS which stated they were capable of getting my money recovered. With a little faith in me, I contacted them immediately, and discussed my situation, and sent all the information I had.
In less than a week, I was able to recoup my BTC. I praise the universe for sending them my way. I wish to recommend them to everyone out there. they are capable of recover any crypto coins Bitcoin, Usdt ,Eth, Dogecoin, now i have my funds back with there guidelines and skills you can always contact them via WhatsApp : +44 7383450230 for inquiries.

Ever since my husband got me divorced for the past 2 years, i v’e not been my self. I was reviewing some post of how i could get back my husband then, i saw a testimony shared by Marina Choas from SWEDEN about a spell caster named Dr. Okosun. I contacted Marina Chaos to confirm about how Dr. Okosun helped her and she clarified everything to me of how he helped her and that gave me the courage to get in touch with Dr. OKosun for help. Dr. Okosun assured me that my days of sorrows will be over within 48hours after he has finished with his work. I followed his instructions he gave to me because i had the believe, faith, hope and trust in him. Verily i say to you today that i and my husband are back together and i can proudly say and testify to the world of what Dr. Okosun did for me. Contact him today via E-mail:(Okosunspelltemple33@gmail.com call him or whatsapp him +2348054338132 if you seek his help.
