02 / FAMILY SHOT LIST

Family reunion · Generations · 10 minutes

Family photo shot list: start with the complete group, then move from the people who need the most support to smaller combinations. Occasion: a family reunion where several households need a clear, welcoming order. Priority: make room for the full group, grandparents, parents, children, and one four-generation frame when possible. Pace: keep to five essential combinations, release people early, and leave one minute for a real laugh or embrace. Ask before including anyone, keep documentary moments distinct from any later AI-created keepsake, and show everyone a generated result before sharing it.

THE SAFETY BOUNDARY

Plan publicly.
Keep portraits private.

  • Ask every living person before using their face.
  • Keep names, private stories, and source portraits out of shared URLs.
  • Inspect identity, hands, scale, clothing, and meaningful background details.
  • Disclose that the result is AI-generated when context matters.

QUESTIONS

Before you use the plan.

What belongs on a family photo shot list?

Start with the complete group, then add the combinations that would be hardest to recreate: generations, households, siblings, and meaningful pairs. Keep the list short enough that people can follow it.

How do I keep a large family photo session moving?

Name one helper, photograph the people who need the most support early, work from large groups to small groups, and keep the next combination nearby while the current one is taken.

Does this shot-list builder collect family names or photos?

No. It uses only broad choices in the browser. Add names later in your own private copy if you need them; the shared link never contains names, portraits, or contacts.
