Six that work
Family photo ideas for real light.
These six setups need no equipment. They work with the light you already have at home, in the garden or at the beach.One window, indoors
Turn the ceiling lights off, sit side on to the window and let the shadow side fall naturally. The best option on a rainy day.
The garden at golden hour
Tallest people at the edges, the youngest in front, and nobody in a line. Take one formal frame, then one where people talk.
Beach at low tide
Wet sand reflects light and gives you room. Shoot before sunset and keep the horizon above the tallest head.
Autumn leaves
Colour does the work, so keep clothing plain. Put the darker outfits next to the brightest leaves.
Recreating an old family photograph
Find a photo from twenty years ago and rebuild the arrangement with whoever is still around. The differences are the point.

Good to know
Questions about AI family portrait ideas.
Do our source photos need the same pose?
No. TogetherLens composes a new scene. Clear faces matter more than matching poses or backgrounds.
Are these templates or finished scenes?
They are visual scenes inside TogetherLens. You choose the idea and add your own portraits; the result is newly generated.
Can I use the same people for more than one idea?
Yes. After a result, you can keep the same people and choose a new scene.
Is the app free?
The app is free to install. Premium includes full-quality results and more scenes; your app store shows current price and renewal terms before purchase.
Your portraits. Your moment.
