Hobbies And Interests
Traditional
For a traditional portrait of your boys, opt for bright, solid, formal clothing and guide children into a sitting or standing position, side by side, in front of a conservative backdrop such as drapery or a simple color splash. To avoid a stiff, rigid, unnatural-looking picture, give the portrait an endearing touch with simple accessories and props such as sailor hats, stuffed animals for the boys to hold or a few old-fashioned toys placed around the sitting children.
Contemporary
To add a touch of modernism to a cute brother portrait consisting of 3 or more siblings, dress the children all in black and instruct them to lie down on their backs on a black sheet, heads meeting in the center, with their bodies angled outward, resembling a pinwheel shape. For a contemporary photo with a soft, playful feel, capture children in the midst of laughter with arms gently bent and angled up at the side or above their heads. Another contemporary idea is to photograph a pair of brothers locked in a playful embrace. Make it a black-and-white photo for a sense of sophistication and style.
Playful
Playful poses add a sense of innocence to sibling portraits. Cute, playful portrait ideas for brothers include photographing the boys simultaneously sipping from two straws sticking out of an ice cream float, or an older brother reading a funny story book to his younger sibling. Capture children intently focused on play for a memorable and sentimental portrait.
Themed
Try dressing up your boys for an unforgettable, adorable brother portrait. Place siblings in pirate costumes and photograph them at play with plastic swords, or dress brothers up as their favorite superheroes and photograph them in strong poses in front of a city backdrop. Incorporate your children's likes and interests in a portrait to memorialize them in a photo of your boys. If your children are enrolled in a martial arts academy, for example, photograph them in their uniforms and holding a position learned in class.
