“Dress us in matching fall sweaters and put us behind a Thanksgiving dinner table”

The idea

What is a Thanksgiving photoshoot?

A Thanksgiving photoshoot gives you the Thanksgiving family photos of the year: everyone together behind the dinner table, outside in the fall leaves or in front of a pumpkin and hay bale backdrop, dressed in warm, matching colors. They end up on the card, the Facebook post and the fridge for the next year.

Most families never get the planned version. Someone is late, the light is gone by dinner, the outfits do not match. Upload the photo you did take and the AI changes the backdrop, the clothes or both, while every face stays the same.

Thanksgiving photoshoot ideas: a shot list for the day

Thanksgiving photos happen around the meal, so plan them by the clock. Every picture here started as an ordinary snapshot and took one sentence to edit.

  1. 1

    Morning: in the kitchen

    Rolling pie dough, basting the turkey, flour on the counter. Candid kitchen shots need no posing at all.

    Before dinner: behind the table

    Before anyone sits down, stand the family behind the set table: tallest at the back, grandparents in the middle, the turkey in front.

    Dinner: the table from above

    Stand on a chair and shoot straight down on the full table, with hands passing dishes, the moment the food comes out.

    After dinner: the generations

    One photo per generation on the couch: the grandparents with their children, then with every grandchild. These are the ones families print.

    Before dark: outside

    Walk out into the yard while there is light left, kick through the leaves and take the group photo there.

    The weekend: Friendsgiving

    Friends around a long table with candles and wine. Matching colors work for friends as well.

Thanksgiving family photos: setting and outfits in one

Most families have one group photo from the day. Pick a look to see that same photo as a finished Thanksgiving photoshoot. Warm, earthy colors read as Thanksgiving: rust, olive, burgundy, camel and cream, in knits, flannel and corduroy.

Add the family member who could not make it

A Thanksgiving photoshoot is meant to have the whole family in it. When someone is missing, add them from a photo of their own.

Someone stuck far away

Upload the group photo and a photo of the missing person, then say where they stand. The AI matches their size and light to the group.

  • A clear photo of them from the waist up works best
  • Name a spot: between two people, at the end of the row

The dog in a turkey costume

Pets belong in the family photo too. Upload the dog on the porch and tap Dog for felt feathers and a few pumpkins around it.

  • The whole dog in frame gives the costume room
  • No dog has to sit still in a costume for this one

Send it

Make it a Thanksgiving photo card

The finished Thanksgiving photoshoot goes on a card or a post. Tap Card and the AI sets it in a cream card with a greeting, ready to share.

Your greeting, your names

Write the words you want under the photo, for example "Happy Thanksgiving" and "Love, the Carters". Change the colors or the leaves in the same sentence.
