However this is also one of the photos that are taken most of the time in the wrong way.   With many people, no shooting is ever the same.   Whether it is for a wedding or a dinner it is therefore never easy to get a family portrait right.      Fortunately there are some small tips that exist in order to help you prepare yourself correctly.

 Below are listed some great tips that may help you improve your photos :

 During dinner

Avoid taking pictures of guests at the beginning of the meal, where everyone is still hesitating.   After a few drinks, the atmosphere is much more relaxed and more favorable for pictures.  Please do not sacrifice aesthetics in order to get spontaneity: food on the cheeks, jaws moving, glass in the mouth are rarely flattering.  The purpose wide-angle SLRs (and some compact cameras) is ideal for photographing all the guests.  

 Taking photos outside

 Whether it is for a walk or for an outing there are many opportunities that exist for people to take some photos outside.  If ever you are shooting in the sunlight you should make sure that the sun is behind you. If the sun shines much, force the flash to light the remaining side in the shade and lessen the contrast.

 You should also consider the location where you will be taking the photo with care to allow the whole group to be comfortable.   Make sure that you also align your subjects carefully, for instance in terms of height, to make sure that you have a good representation of everyone.

 Be flexible

 When indoor make sure that your subject is properly illuminated by using your flash as far as possible.  There are no standard ways to take family portrait photo and it will be up to you to find the best ones to suit your particular need.
