Wide family selfies with young kids

By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026

Short answerGet down to the kids’ height, hold the phone a little above all of you, use burst so someone’s bound to be looking, and keep it quick and fun. Think before sharing children’s photos publicly.

Height

Kneel or sit so faces are at similar distances from the lens.

Attention

A silly noise or counting down together gets looks at the lens.

Burst

Hold the shutter or use burst and pick the best one later.

Sharing

Consider who can see photos of your children before posting them.

Questions

Front or back camera?

Front for selfies; back camera on a stand for bigger groups.
