Here’s what we’d do
Choose one familiar place and a short photo window before the main gathering. Ask which combinations matter most, then leave room for ordinary moments. People should be able to decline photos or sharing without being treated as though they spoiled the family record.
How to make it happen
Go at your own pace.
- Before inviting
Choose the practical details
Agree on a photographer, the intended use and a small list of requested group combinations.
- The shared part
Give the activity room
Take the essential photos first, checking that everyone is comfortable with the location and poses.
- A good ending
Finish at the agreed pace
Share selected images privately for approval before posting or distributing them more widely.
