Ideal Family Pictures and Stock Photos

The answer to the question of just what is an ideal family for stock photo purposes depends, of course, on the intended message of the communications. In this case we chose a family with two parents and two children, a boy and a girl, a very traditional and safe combination of ages and genders. This family picture is great for any company needing to communicate about its products and services aimed at helping families, particularly young families, in areas that range from finance and insurance needs, to housing, to health and to recreation and vacations.
