What do people usually wear for family portraits?
My husband and I are taking our son for his first professional portraits he is 3 months and I was wondering what should he wear? He’s our first so I’m to familiar with this. We are also going to have a family portrait done too. I was thinking either beige pants or jeans and either white or black shirts/sweaters. Any advice on what would look best. Also for our sons pics I want a nude one of his cute little butt, is that weird or do most people do that too?
A lot of people do portaits w/ the baby’s bare bottom. We just had our first family portrait at the end of August (my daughter was 2 months). Dad wore a blue button down and my baby girl and I were in pink. The potraits by herself she was stripped down to her diapers and we had gauze all around her, so she looks like a little angel…

Parents, any ideas for family portraits?
I want to get professional portraits taken of my husband, son and myself. I was thinking of doing something like this:http://www.asylum.com/2009/06/17/awkward-family-photos-12/
Do you think my husband would go for that? LOL
I’m only kidding. I would never take a ridiculous picture like that! Too freaking funny for me not to share.
I think we will just take some shots on the beach or at the park. You know, normal pictures.
WOW, I can honestly say that’s….. original 
I don’t think many men would go for that though, lol. I wish I lived close by. I only charge a $50 sitting fee and then for the cost of prints (which usually averages around $30 depending on how many prints you’d like).
I’d go for JC Penney otherwise.

Where can I find portraits of Shakespeare’s family?
I have to do write a biography on Shakespeare, and it says right on the requirements "Include pictures of Shakespeare and his family!" However, I don’t think my english teacher has tried to find pictures of his family. Can anyone lend me some help? If there ARE any existing pictures of his family?
no where

Why do so many people put family portraits on display in their homes?
My immediate family never did this. We always used hand-held cameras and pretty much kept photos in the envelope they came in from the developer. And we never used a professional studio. Is this a hallmark of family life? Is it a combination of tradition and pride?
I guess because I live by myself and very privately, I feel like I’m being watched by having photos on display.
We were also very practical and modest. I would choose decorative photos, too.
Life goes by so fast that every now and then we need to stop and smell the roses. The pictures of the past give us fond memories of times before. I have photos of my boys in my home when they were younger, and I pause from time to time to reflect with a smile.
It’s also a great conversation piece when company comes over.

How can you unwrinkle a large family portrait?
Recently my family had portraits made. They were great but unfortunately, before I could get the 11 x 13 framed, it got wrinkled and now I’m looking for a way to fix this problem. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Sandwich the print between two solid, smooth, flat surfaces, making sure they are clean lay your print out flat and carefully sandwich the print in between, making sure to not create anymore wrinkles. Place something very heavy on the top of the ’sandwich’ and leave for a week. It may be an idea to use something like cling-film to cover the image side of the photo before doing this to avoid any bonding between the photo and the surface of the ’sandwich’.

What is the best place to go for baby/family portraits?
I want them to be nice obviously but don’t want to spend a thousand dollars for a super expensive professional. Is JC Penny’s ok or sears or the picture people? What do you recommend also I live in San Diego so if anyone in this area knows of a good place. Thanks!
I just had pics done last Friday at Sears and they turned out amazing. We bought a 20 by 20 pic and the cd with all the pics taken for 178 dollars. They were done nice and we did them for my daughters 1 month.

What is the best f stop to use for family portraits?
8 people, canon 50d, 28-135 lense and 50 1.4 outside location. 430 external flash ettl setting. Thanks!!!!:)
Lighting is sun behind them 1 hr before sunset. I will have them grouped, obviously. Maybe 2-3 rows. What would you recommed for ISO?
What is your ISO, what is your lighting like? Are they on the same plane or various planes in your posing? Too many variables for a standard answer.
Edit, with sunlight behind them I would need a fill in flash. The ISO could be anywhere from 200 - 400, depending upon the sky and the amount of color you want to maintain. f11 will probably be good to balance the light and keep a decent DOF with the group.
