What Most People Don't Know About Family Portraits

Create a sense of family togetherness by hanging a large family portrait in your living room
or family room. Be sure that everyone in the family looks happy, ok? And make sure it includes everyone…no family members should be missing from the picture.

If you're planning on taking some Christmas or holiday photos this year, and there are 3-5 people in the family, then have them seated in a triangular shape (this represents the element of fire and good yang energy). So with three in the family for example you can seat two people in front and one standing behind. If there are 4 people in the family, then try two sitting and two standing behind. This suggests a square shape, which represents the earth element…and also signifies family.

Use your creativity when taking photos but remember these hints about how to arrange the seating to maximize good feng shui!
