My 2024 Family Photoshoot Predictions

I’ve been doing this for quite a while now, so it’s safe to say I know what’s up in the photography world. Here are my predictions for what trends are coming up in 2024 for family photoshoots.

Brighter, bolder colours:

Gone are the days of white matching outfits. Instead, my families are opting for more unique prints and colours while still looking like a cohesive unit. I adore colour, so I do hope this continues!

The move to at-home shoots:

Cityscapes are gorgeous, but families might opt for photoshoots in their own space where they feel most at ease - and that’s right at home. I love home shoots because it gives a real look at your family’s life, and everyone feels super comfortable.

More interactive and playful moments:

These are truly authentic and the moments I love to capture the most. Families will do an activity - like frolicking on the beach - that brings out genuine joy and connection between each other, as opposed to standing still and simply smiling at the camera.

A bevy of blurred action shots:

I’ve mentioned playful moments above, and these will, very likely, be coupled with a few beautiful blurred shots. Picture your daughter twirling in a dress, or your dog leaping into the ocean… that motion blur is stunning, right? I predict that these are the shots that’ll actually take over the mantelpiece.

The rise of photojournalism:

The lens following your family as you go about a normal day is a photography trend that I think will bloom in 2024. From washing dishes to feeding your toddler, photojournalism captures the very essence of your family as you complete seemingly-mundane tasks. And the result? A raw and gorgeous plethora of pictures to look back on for years to come.
