Thanks so much!! I also recommend using the Moschino SP camera and tripod, I managed to take nice photos with it. When you want to take a picture of a sim with an infant though it does not work for some reason.
same i tried to take photo with the Moschino pack also didnt work for me also so uninstalled it - even the photoshoot studio nothing happens when i try to take pics of my sims - so i just take selfies of my sims now
It works for me. Could be setting it up wrong? Maybe? I do have to say the Moschino pack stuff is a bit tricky to use.
Keep in mind for a 'take photo of', things could be blocking the setup, even in base-game mode. 'Take photo of' works no mater what. You just don't get any emotional aura attached to the photo.

i had the photo shoot studio set up? and there was tripod and tried to take photo of my sim and his daughter and they are posing and nothing happens? i tried it few times - i took photo with phone camera instead. How do i use the regular camera? when i click on it just says put in inventory

i got frustrated then uninstalled the pack haha
Before I lost all my saves a few months ago, I had a photo studio built by myself in the Delgato house on the 3rd floor. (It was supposed to be for veterinarian stuff, but I did that on the 1rst floor instead.).
I actually had it working quite well. I could try to rebuild it in a similar way.

Clicking on the camera in inventory should give you the options to take a photo. Or 'take a picture' in layman terms. I'll make a little video without my voice. Editing is a pain and takes forever.
I respect those people that take the time to do it.
I hadn't thought of taking a picture of the family portrait. That's a really good idea! Also, thanks for the link to the portrait. I use Ravasheen's family portrait version, which is simpler than the gift one but not as big.
I am so glad someone did upload it for others, I did a quick google and was relieved to find it LOL, Happy simming
Guys I found out how to make our photo's even more special, but this time we have to install mods. I just thought I would see if the gallery poses work with the family portrait as well and they do
I didn’t know the family portrait item even existed!! Thank you @mcrudd for the helpful tutorial! I missed this promotion and I’m heartbroken that my sims are missing out, especially now with growing together. I prefer not to use mods so I’ve started a thread over at https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Feedback/Family-Portrait/m-p/12468830 hoping that they may offer this item again 😊
Yeah, it bugs me how limited picture taking is in this game... like both with the phone and with the studio you can't take photos of more than 3 Sims together at a time and you can't choose which poses they're in beyond just randomizing it. Can't even take pictures with infants, toddlers, or pets without the "Mosquito Stuff" pack as Li'l Simsie calls it

You can still take beautiful photos without the frame, just need to get your timing and placements of where the sims are right or have them pose. Here is my latest wall and I used some selfies, photo of and the family portrait option. The one where the teen is at the splash park was just timing and take photo as the option. It took a few tries because my sim was not in the right spot or angle, or the teen was not the right pose or looking at the camera. I did however go and bump your thread and added my little 5 cents too

I agree, if you have 8 sims in a household and use the place marks then surely you can have 7 sims pose for a photo and not just 3. I was very disappointed the first time I noticed that.
This is a cool tip! Definitely will try it sometime! My hack with getting photos, especially if I want a scenic background, is to add a fully skilled photographer to the family temporarily and then they can take some nice pics and then I just toss the pics into one of my family member's inventories. This works extra well if you play with mods and use pose player.

I added a me too because I hope this offer will be repeated again. Problem with using the modded version of the family frame is that all the photos I take of it are considered cc, even when I remove the cc frame. The photo still works after removing the cc family portrait but any lot uploaded with the photo will be considered cc.

What a super aweSim idea @permanentrose thank you I am sure there are people that use the pose player that would love this
Those are just normal photo's when you click on add frame, those colours are yellow, blue and light wood at the top and dark wood and red at the bottom. It is not one of the actual empty frames you put photo's in

yes these frames - wow really didnt know you can change colors of frames - thank you
I use the Q and E keys when taking pictures of the infants on the ground with the tripod. It lets the angle go up and down to get some better pictures, don't know if that helps. Here are some I've taken doing that.

Yes! Of course!
