Are you looking for some amazing ideas to showcase your family? We were blown away when we saw these Generational Family Photo Ideas whizzing around the web and it’s easy to see why.

You can create these very special beautiful 3 or even 4 Generation Family Photos without a lot of work or expense in Photoshop on your computer. If you are not proficient in Photoshop, hand your photos on to someone who knows their way around a computer.

They’re perfect for a birthday gift or Mother’s or Father’s Day and you can give a copy to everyone. There is not much that matches the significance of this style of photography. The Creator suggests you follow these simple tips:

Hold the frame according to how you are shooting the photos. For example; if you take a portrait shot (vertical), make sure everyone is holding the frame like a portrait.

Ask each person holding the frame to try to keep their fingers clear of the inside of the frame. This makes editing faster.

How To Make A Generational Family Photo

The next step is to take each family members photo. They hold the empty frame (except the person in the last frame. You can even use an existing snapshot here.

The trickiest step is the copy and paste in Photoshop. Make sure you crop each photo to the size of the frame before copying it!
