Add a Family Member to Your Group Photo
Sometimes, someone important couldn’t be there when the photo was taken — but that doesn’t mean they have to be left out.
We help families combine photos into a single image that feels complete. Whether you’re adding a parent who couldn’t make it, a sibling from another shot, or even honoring a loved one who’s passed, we take care to make it look like everyone was together in that moment.
We don’t just place a person into the frame — we adjust the lighting, posture, angle, and expression to make the photo feel real. No harsh lines, no cut-and-paste look. Just a finished photo that feels whole.
This kind of edit is often used for:
- Graduation photos where not everyone could attend
- Holiday portraits missing one or two family members
- Wedding group shots with last-minute absences
- Memorial projects to include someone dearly missed
You send us the photos — we’ll handle the rest with care and attention.
What This Service Is For
- Merging family photos from different times;
- Adding a family member to an existing group photo;
- Combining two photos into one frame that looks natural;
- Including a deceased loved one in a meaningful portrait;
- Fixing a missed moment without re-staging the whole photo.
This isn’t about tech tricks — it’s about getting the photo you wish had been taken in the first place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add a deceased family member into a photo?
Yes. Many of our clients ask us to include a loved one who has passed away into a special photo — whether it’s a graduation, wedding, or family portrait. We handle these edits with care and respect, aiming for a natural blend that feels true to the moment.
What do I need to provide to merge family photos?
You’ll need to upload the group photo you’d like us to edit, along with a clear image of the person you’d like to add. We recommend choosing a reference photo with similar lighting and posture, but if you’re unsure, we’re happy to guide you.
Will the added person look realistic in the group photo?
Absolutely — our human editors carefully match lighting, size, and body positioning to make sure the added family member fits naturally in the scene. No obvious cutouts or mismatched tones.
Can I combine two separate family photos into one frame?
Yes. If your family was photographed in different locations or times, we can combine them into a single, cohesive image. It’s especially helpful for family members who couldn’t be in the same place at once.
Is this service done by AI or real people?
All edits are done by real, professional editors — not automated tools. We believe only human judgment can truly understand facial nuance, posture alignment, and emotional context in family memories.
