Are you looking for some amazing ideas to showcase your family? We were blown away when we saw these Generational Family Photo Ideas. They have been so popular with our readers.
You can create a 3 or 4 Generation Family Photo without a lot of work or expense. All you need is a computer and some basic knowledge of Photoshop. If you are not proficient in this program, you will find a friend or family member that is. If all else fails, ask the kids!

The above idea comes from Moose Photography and they are behind today’s video tutorial.
This would make a perfect birthday gift and it’s ideal for Mother’s or Father’s Day too. What a thoughtful idea and a truly treasured piece that can be passed down to other family members. When it comes to recreating one yourself, there are a few recommended tips that we have included below.
What The Creator Suggests
Moose Photography suggests that you 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.
The next step is to take each family member’s 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 step that is required in Photoshop. Make sure you crop each photo to the size of the frame before copying it!
You can then play around with angling the photo to fit perfectly in the frame. For a person proficient in Photoshop, this is a piece of cake.
