family photo

Generational group portrait

A family photo is a photograph showing members of a family together, typically posed for the occasion.

Family photos mark milestones—holidays, reunions, graduations—and serve as visual records of family history.

The term can describe both formal studio portraits and casual snapshots: We took a family photo in front of the Christmas tree.

A family photo often implies an attempt to present a unified, happy image, which is why dysfunctional gatherings sometimes produce awkward ones.
