Prompt Generator

A family of four smiles at the camera on a sunny autumn sidewalk: a mother and father in their late thirties, a girl of about eight and a boy of about five, in jeans, sweaters and a denim jacket, with orange trees and houses blurred behind them.

What each part of the prompt does

Count the people
"Keep the same number of people" stops the model from adding or dropping a family member, which is the most common failure with group photos.
Coordinated, not identical
Knitwear in three named colours gives a styled look without every person in the same sweater, which suits families with children and adults of different ages.
Rows by height
Adults at the back and children at the front is how photographers arrange families, and it gives every face a clear line of sight to the camera.
Focus on every face
"Sharp focus on every face" matters in a group: without it, the model often blurs the people at the edges.

Variations to try

Same idea, one thing changed. These have no example image yet.

  • Matching pajamas on the stairs

    Keep every face from my uploaded family photo exactly the same and keep the same number of people. Show the family sitting on a wooden staircase wrapped in a pine garland with fairy lights, everyone in matching red tartan pajamas. Adults sit on the higher steps, children on the lower ones, and everyone is close enough to touch shoulders. A lit tree at the foot of the stairs, soft warm light, gentle bokeh from the tree lights. Natural smiles, sharp focus on every face, family portrait photo, 4:5 frame.

  • Grandparents in the middle

    Keep every face from my uploaded family photo exactly the same and keep the same number of people. Show the family together in front of a tall decorated Christmas tree in a warm living room, everyone in coordinated knitwear in red, cream and forest green. The grandparents sit in the middle on a sofa, the other adults stand behind them and the children sit on the floor in front, and everyone is close enough to touch shoulders. Wrapped presents at their feet, soft warm light, gentle bokeh from the tree lights. Natural smiles, sharp focus on every face, family portrait photo, 4:5 frame.

  • Indian family Christmas

    Keep every face from my uploaded family photo exactly the same and keep the same number of people. Show the family together in front of a tall decorated Christmas tree in a warm living room, everyone in festive Indian clothes in red, cream and gold: sarees, kurtas and lehengas. Adults stand at the back, children sit or kneel at the front, and everyone is close enough to touch shoulders. Paper star lanterns overhead and wrapped presents at their feet, soft warm light, gentle bokeh from the tree lights. Natural smiles, sharp focus on every face, family portrait photo, 4:5 frame.

If the result isn't right

  • If someone goes missing or a stranger appears, reply with the exact count: "there are five people, keep all five".
  • When children's faces drift, crop the upload so the children are larger in the frame and try again.
  • If everyone gets the same face shape, add "each person keeps their own face, age and hairstyle from the photo".
  • For a wide group, change the frame to "3:2 frame" so nobody is squeezed at the edge.
