Unique Family Portrait Ideas

Sometimes it can be difficult to create a family portrait that is unique or different. The standard portrait with the family standing in front of some fake, fabricated scene can feel drab and boring. Taking the photo yourself may be impossible, and you probably don’t have a professional photographer in the family. The following are a few ideas for some unique and meaningful family portraits that could easily become a family heirloom for many years to come.

Add a Pet Portrait to the Family Photo Wall

When putting together a family portrait wall filled with individual photos of members of the family, don’t forget to include the member of the family who often goes overlooked – the family pet! While taking a photo yourself, framing it, and putting it up on the wall will do the trick – nothing is quite as eye-catching as a painted portrait created of your much-loved family pet. This is becoming a very popular method of capturing the character and personality of the family pet in a format that is often breathtaking.

You can find the best style of pet portraits from Nikky Hughes of Los Angeles. The great thing about these pet portraits is that they can be done from a photograph – so it is possible to purchase artwork like this from skilled artists like Nikky regardless of distance.

Nikky was classically trained at the Mission Renaissance art school. Her art is soft and romantic – with a dreamy quality to them. They are lifelike and impressive representations of everything that makes a pet beautiful in the eyes of its owner. The aspect of her paintings that truly make Nikky’s art stand out from the crowd is the setting in which she places the animals. The surroundings are sometimes whimsical, other times wonderfully surreal, but always intriguing. Nikky’s art represents the work of a rising artist, so purchasing one of these portraits would be an excellent investment, and a wonderful addition to your home décor.

Make a Video Family Portrait

If you, or someone in the family, are somewhat savvy with the digital camcorder – creating a family video may be an option. Digital recording technology has advanced to the point where regular folks can generate some impressive movie content. Additionally, video editing software has made it so that anyone with even general computer knowledge can create some of the most intricate movies – complete with video, audio, and voiceover streams that would impress even amateur movie-makers.

There are also a number of video professionals, such as teleportraits.com who can capture memories and testimonials from your family that can become a timeless record of the personalities and memories for many years. A professional videographer will typically record all of the raw video, edit all of the video and produce a high quality DVD for you that you can enjoy anytime you choose, or at events such as family gatherings. Using video is one of the most fascinating and non-conventional ways to create a family portrait.

Have an Outdoor Portrait Done

If you are going to have a standard photo portrait done of the family, the best option to create an authentic and inspirational photo is to use a natural background outdoors. If you don’t live in a place where there is a large backyard, then have the photo taken at a park where a beautiful backdrop of a field, lake, or if you are lucky enough, a mountain. Sometimes other outdoor settings can work very well, such as a city skyline or the large span of an architecturally beautiful bridge. The possibilities are endless, but if standard photo portraits are preferred, natural backdrops can turn a boring photo into an exciting one.
