Our phone trick will get you the best family vacation photos you’ve ever seen – just follow 4 simple steps
A FAMILY of five doesn’t have to worry about hiring a professional photographer for their group shot, as they already aced it with a simple trick.
All you need is an iPhone and a shovel.
The Dashley parents (@thedashleys) call themselves “your average couple trying to keep their s*** together,” and often document their family’s outings on TikTok.
In one video, they said they said they got the perfect family portrait by just following four simple steps.
“So, I heard if you dig a heart in the sand and put your phone in it, it will take the best family picture you have ever seen,” the father began.
He filmed the hole he and his family had just dug up and revealed that step one is to make it around a foot deep.
Step two: make the edges smooth.
He gathered his wife and three young children around the hole to prepare for the shot.
Step three and four: set your phone to wide lens and put on a self-timer for however long you’d like.
With the camera pointing up towards the adorable clan, it caught the outline of the heart with all of their peering faces smiling inside.
Making some black and white and some colored versions, the photos looked straight out of a postcard.
“It worked,” they gushed in the caption revealing that they dug the hole in their sandbox.
Viewers loved the idea.
“Going to Hawaii soon and so doing this,” one person wrote.
“This is so cool,” another praised.
