A pose wherein elders sit in the middle while some family members stand from behind is one of the most common yet beautiful family photo shoot. For those who have grandchildren, the kids can sit on the ground in front of elders.

4. Selfie Style

For a more unique-look family photograph, you may try shooting only the back of the family. All you need is choose a place with a nice background, hold hands together while taking a step forward.

7. Before and After

If want to see the changes that happened in the family in the past years, the before and after method of shooting would really be perfect! Having the same pose in the same place with year(s) apart can surely leave you in awe.
