To start off, you will need a lot of patience while taking family pictures. The family will most likely have a child, or children, so you'll need the patience to get everyone's eyes on you, at the same time. It will take time. But you will take at least one picture, with everyone looking. Hopefully more. To insure that you have at least one picture with everyone paying attention, and smiling, take multiple shots. Your camera will have a setting where you can take pictures, in more of a burst type setting. It may be called different things, but this setting makes it so you can take multiple pictures right after each other, this setting is used a lot for sports. Forget the traditional portrait shots. Be unique and inspirational! use weird props, such as picture frames, or over sized sunglasses!. Have your subjects run around, and act like they would when they aren't around a stranger. Have the kids play together and be themselves, and take shots of that. You will get their real, genuine, smile. Filled with their real happiness. That makes the most warming family pictures.
